I really would LOVE to crochet teeny tiny things but somehow I can't get over the fear of having such a tiny hook in my hand, and as I get older so my eyesight becomes poorer! I wish I had learnt to crochet when I was a slip of a girl! I am a huge admirer of you and love your blogs. Like your ring too! Just the sort of thing I was looking for about twelve years ago when Mr C suggested he buy me a new ring. Ended up with a celtic knot pattern in two colours of gold. Fabulous in itself but not as lovely as yours.

It's been years since I've done much thread crochet and it does take some getting used to. But it's a lot of fun.<br /><br />Adorable cherries - I do hope you'll post necklace photos, Penny.<br /><br />P.S. I love your wide silver ring!Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402402600046694659.post-17423739131722876202013-04-19T22:23:32.928+01:002013-04-19T22:23:32.928+01:00I'm totally won over by these ...

Sometimes I am in the mood for very fiddly work, so do something dolls house size, other times, and this is prevalent these days with problems with eyes (and patience!) it tends to be chunkier, but not really chunky. 4mm hook on average, or 3.75.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402402600046694659.post-10644674458189621242013-04-18T22:39:20.857+01:002013-04-18T22:39:20.857+01:00My grannies both crocheted with tiny hooks making ...My grannies both crocheted with tiny hooks making beautifully fine crochet which resembled lace so skinny holds a firm place in my heart ... my mother has some beautiful crocheted blouses made by her mother ... they are exquisite ... can't go without saying how beautiful your ring is ...
