I've never seen those double ended hooks before - very, very interesting. But I can't get sucked into another new technique just now because I have some Christmas presents to hook!<br /><br />Your blanket looks great - hope you get it finished soon!Fionahttp://handmadebyfiona.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517112705787494786.post-51868616357634927442011-10-13T14:32:27.900+02:002011-10-13T14:32:27.900+02:00When picking up on a raw edge I don't worry ab...When picking up on a raw edge I don't worry about the technique but place them where i feel they should go for best fit. Crochet stitches aren't square(nor knit stitches)so you can't pick up one per row. If it feels right to grab into the next stitch along to avoid a hole caused by grabbing a turning chain then do it. I find it easiest to pick up a row of doubles before i start my border as its easiest to make them even and less disheartening if you do need to rip it back a bit.<br />Good luck, its going to be,well, like you say, MAGIC!Not So Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13567568849394257542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517112705787494786.post-31923302036255913252011-10-11T03:26:45.756+02:002011-10-11T03:26:45.756+02:00How about using the main color?

Der würde auch gut zur "männlichen" Seite deiner Decke passen. So lange du immer in zwei Schlingen einstichst, bekommst du auch keine Löcher. Du mußt halt wirklich ausprobieren, wie es am Besten klappt. Ich hab das Problem mit meiner Decke dann ja auch, bei mir dauerts aber noch ein paar Wochen.:)<br />Hab noch einen schönen Abend!

Ich dachte immer, das wäre nur mein Problem, als unvollkommene Häklerin. Du als Profi kannst doch nicht dasselbe haben wie ich ... anscheinend schon. Ich löse derartige Probleme - bietet sich gerade bei einer Decke an - indem ich das gesamte Häkelstück mit der Nähmaschine und einem hübschen Stück Stoff einfasse bzw. einfassen lasse, weil ich keine Nähmaschine habe. Es bietet sich einfarbiger Taft oder ähnliches an. Kommt das für dich in Frage? Nein? Dann - außer jede Reihe die Maschen mitzuzählen - fällt mir auch nix Gescheites ein. Aber ich bin sicher, Du kommst auch ohne meine Klugscheißerei klar :-) GLG AnneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01203657102036622212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517112705787494786.post-3291092061400330202011-10-09T19:33:35.133+02:002011-10-09T19:33:35.133+02:00I love a simple crab stitch for an 'already pe...I love a simple crab stitch for an 'already perfect looking' boarder. it's also called the 'reversed single crochet' and I've used it on the little puff hats: http://happyinred.blogspot.com/2011/10/mini-girl-power.html<br />I am looking forward to your theme party, now if only I'd have my blanket ready before then: PANIC! ;-) Esther.Happy in redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02197718655984721646noreply@blogger.com
