It makes such a nice solid fabric and I agree on the neatness point, so many people ask me what stitch I am using when I make things in this stitch, I think it gets a bad wrap for being slow compared to other crochet stitches, but it is still quicker than knitting for me! Lovely pink wrap you have on the go there, I might have to go and check out that pattern!

What a lovely photo the last one is, the colours in the stocks are beautiful - there has to be a nice piece of crochet in those colours some day! I like stocks and the scent of a new bunch, but when they start to fade a little at the bottom they seem to give off a different, slightly headache-inducing aroma - either that or I think I like the scent and then I don't! Have a good week.

I like the look of the double crochet, it is so neat but if I am honest I do find it a bit slow :-) I think my favourite stitch at the moment has to be the linked treble/double treble, I love the firmness that it gives very similar to double crochet, the speed and also the look of it. The stocks are beautiful, something we have never had in our garden. xSharon - creativity and familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09723560933462975777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044399031300661767.post-2531320857317449672015-06-09T14:01:53.960+01:002015-06-09T14:01:53.960+01:00Yay for DC - I love it too !
