Those are great. Is the pink yarn some sort of velour? It looks like it.
Growing old is much better then the alternative!

you are so talented, I really wish I could do stuff like that, I am trying to teach myself to crochet, just not managed to get the hang of it yet, my mum reckons it will come all of a sudden and then it is easy (yeah right)

your mum's right lol! I tried learning from books over and over again in my early 20s and it was only when i started watching videos on youtube and pausing them to do the stitches that it clicked. since then I've been doing more and more stitches. once you have the basics of chain, slip (sl/slst) doublecrochet (dc, uk version) and treble or triple crochet (tc, again different method for US crochet than UK) it's easier to get the hang of other things like the 1/2tc, dtc and tc groups. the latest stitch I've leanrt from a book is puff stitch. it's a fun one lol!

seriously, your mum's right!

Having said that, are there any books that you could recommend?

I have never been much good at crocheting or knitting, do you think it may be because I am left handed? :flower:

only the craft book I have which is a 1970s "craft encyclopedia" which came from a charity shop. other than that, take a rifle through various books in your library, there are often older ones with really good diagrams.

start with this:
L/H chain

then move onto this (SC in USA crochet is what UK crocheters call DC)
