Tricot Crochet


Hi Blog

I finally received a book I ordered from eBay on Tricot Crochet. It's something I've been interested in for a long time, and haven't been able to find any information or instructions on how to do it. This book, "The Complete Book of Tricot" by Rebecca Jones, seems to be quite a comprehensive guide, I've used her guide for Tatting and that was good too. Now I need to find myself a tricot hook. Not a lot of people seem to be doing Tricot now (or Tunisian Crochet), so finding the tools may be difficult. I'll again have to keep an eye out for one on eBay or something.

Struggling with my diet badly today as well. I didn't eat breakfast, and now here it is at 11.21am and I'm STARVING! Wasting away to a block of flats I am! I so want to be good for lunch, but I didn't bring enough food, so it's either go hungry, or brave the local mall in search of food. Wish me luck blog, because I don't think I can go without.

I did exercise a lot yesterday. I've discovered I can knit while cycling on my exercise bike. It makes the time go so much faster, and I get to mix something I hate (exercise) with something I enjoy. I'll have to keep that up, that way I won't resent the time I spend away from my projects while I have to exercise.

Had a friend tell me they had to have their dog put to sleep this morning. My heart goes out to them, I know the pain of that, and this friend has had this dog since he was a child. Sometimes animal lovers don't understand that grief over a lost pet can sometimes be the same as loving a relative or other friend. My thoughts are with him.

Anyway, must get back to work blog...more later.

Sorry to hear about your friend. Losing your dog is like losing your child. Heartbreaking.

Knitting while cycling.........what an image!!! Crazy! Brilliant! You may start a new trend.
