re: granny hexagon help please

Maybe that is the problem! Like I said, I'm pretty much self taught and have had absolutely no outside influences on my methods (I have one aunt who crochets and I can't even hold the hook like she does--she's a pencil-gripper and I'm a knife-gripper). I like that no ch1 betweeen the ones on the sides gives a more filled-in look--the holes are maybe a little smaller. Not by a lot or anything, but I like how my granny squares turn out. I made an afghan for a friend this past Christmas completely made out of scrap yarn granny squares. It had more than 40 colors in it and I completely want to make myself one if I ever have the time because it was so beautiful, yet so simple. I literally made it in three days and it was huge.

that's funny Kristen, when I was sighted, I held the crochet hook like a pencil too. After almost twenty years of being blind, I took up crocheting again and had to re-learn what I'd forgotten in that time. And now I hold the crochet hook like a kitchen knife too! I used to get painful callouses, now that's quite a thing of the past.

Mirjam,

How do you crochet your hexagons? And what do you mean by crocheting from inside out and vice versa?

David

Kristen i made my son a Hexagon blanket and he loves it , i made a veriaty of hexagons , including some crocheted from inside out and outside in ,,,, mirjam

I'm also a knife-gripper, crocheter! I find it uncomfortable to hold a hook like a pencil. Whatever works! :o)

Peace! Gemini
