Today is the first post in my new weekly series: Watch Me Crochet Wednesdays.
I’m not doing a fancy instructional crochet video; just a short video of me crocheting whatever I’m working on at the moment. I hope you like it.
This video shows me crocheting:
- around a polystyrene sphere in an attempt to make a balloon*,
- in (US) half double crochet / (UK) half treble crochet,
- with a 6 mm crochet hook,
- using Wendy Supreme Cotton Chunky in shade no 1420 (white).
The video was taken on the Bank Holiday Monday. We had amazing weather so I’m seated outside at the patio table, crocheting al fresco. On a sunny weekend it feels wrong to sit on the livingroom couch with my crochet. A slight breeze, warmth and the shade of our patio umbrella really gets my hooky vibes going. Do you like to crochet outside?
*The balloon one of three I have to make for a custom order I received on Etsy two weeks ago. I will share more about this interesting project later.

What a really interesting idea and as for your project….the mind boggles!
Interesting is a nice way of putting it 🙂
Beautiful design and I can’t wait to hear more about it. love Carol
Neat idea for a weekly series 🙂 It looks great so far. I like to crochet outside when my daughter has her horseback riding lesson.
Blessings 🙂
Oooh, nice! Very Little House on The Prairie 🙂
Just found your blog – have been trawling through it and love it – will be back soon. Love the balloon idea but would worry that I would burst it x
Aaah, thanks for your kind words! Luckily that balloon is polystyrene, I wouldn’t trust myself with a real one either 🙂
