Conquering your Fears!!!!!!

If you follow my blog (hello to all 7 of you - hope you are still enjoying my ramblings),  you will know that I have a fear of trying new things.  Easier not to try, then to fail.  Anyway, I am now trying to change my entire attitude.

Nervous of pushing a wheelie round New York - not anymore.  It nearly killed me, but I did it!
Nervous of trying new recipes - nope.  If it goes wrong, and if even Anni turns up her nose (not happened yet), we'll order pizza.
Nervous of trying a new hobby - NOT ANYMORE.  Look what I managed to do yesterday,



 Trebles??  I need to work on my tension.  I started way too tightly and then went the other way.  Still I like to make things harder for myself!!!!




Gill - I finished my first ever Granny Square (happy smile on my face).

I hope that with practise I will be as confident with crochet as I am with knitting (even if I am still on basic stitches - it's enough to make me happy).

My bigger goal is to manage one of these at Attic 24  I love Lucy's work and one day hope I can manage to crochet such gorgeous work.  If you love to crochet, check out Lucy's work, though I suspect you may already be an avid follower.

  1. I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am for you and how proud I am of you! Now you've mastered the Granny, there are oodles of things you can make, and just changing your colour combinations will give you lots of variety.
    Hurrah for Granny Squares!!!
