think i got it!

[christy81]

i had posted a question a couple days ago asking how to do a single crochet because i was struggling with it.  From all the help i received here i think i got it.  I definitely need to work on my tension.

Looking good!  And your tension is not bad at all

You do have it!  I agree with Kathy's comments. 

 

For tension, just remember Granny Square's advice to make sure that all of the loops are done past the throat (the skinny part under the hook) so that they are the size of the main part of the hook.  Also, when you draw up that first loop, draw it up enough so that your hook is parallel to the top of the stitch.  That first loop is called the "golden loop" and it determines the height of each stitch.

 

Keep going! Your tension will automatically become the same with lots of practice.
