I absolutely love going to craft fairs and markets. It doesn't happen as often as I like but when it does I get extremely excited.

Let me show you my two favourite craft projects I did at the Craft & Quilt Fair... Because I have been fairly focused on crochet lately I attended a couple of the craft circles that involved this. I have only just learnt to crochet about 4 months ago so it is relatively new. I had been told by many that crochet is very easy - even easier than knitting. Now, I knit quite abit and when looking at crochet, to me it looked hard. But one night, I decided to 'bite the bit' and do it. So...I pulled up a You Tube tutorial on the computer, sat there with my ball of wool and hook and learnt how to crochet a granny square. It was the most exciting feeling as I grasped the skill and actually saw it take place in my hands. There were a few initial attempts which were botch-ups but I did get it in the end and I felt SO proud of myself. Since then, I had been pumping out a whole heap of granny squares which I will use for a rug for my little Sprout!

At the fair, I decided to be brave and try a different kind of crochet. It was called Tunisian Crochet and the craft circle was for making a purse using this method. I really like it and it is actually quite easy. It uses a longer hook as you actually add stitches onto the needle/hook.
