I am hoping that making these videos will help me to regain my crocheting mojo (or crojo as I call it) and get me back on the track of modifying patterns and even designing my own.
The Abakhan challenge has hit the buffers. I had the wrong wool for the wrong pattern stitch. I couldn't unpick it so I have restarted with new wool and this time chosen a simpler stitch so that I can feel with my fingers where to put the hook instead of having to hold it up to try to find the right stitch. Wish me luck. Hopefully photos tomorrow when I get past the first couple of inches.
This is the first video clip that I made this morning. The sun was shining but it was freezing cold.
This is the second video clip that I made of the shawls and shoulder capelets.
The third video cut itself short as per usual. I must learn to time how long this camera gives me before it cuts off. Most of these sweaters have been made using vintage patterns although there is a hoodie using one of the free Double Stitch twins patterns from Red Heart.
Blogger keeps freezing on me today so I will call it a day for now.
Happy crocheting.

Gorgeous work jan. I think your work is very pretty and hope these videos help sell your crochet garments. I really enjoyed watching them. I have shared this blog post to my Facebook. I loved the squirrel making an appearance too :)
Jan, your work is really beautiful. Please don't underestimate how clever you are at crochet. I greatly admire your work and the way you cope with your difficulties. Glad to see you blogging again and Spring is just around the corner.
Your work is beautiful Jan. I look forward to seeing your videos. You sound just like my cousin, she lives in Deryshire, but did live in Manchester for a while. Keep up the good work.
Best wishes
Mary xx
