I can just about follow a crochet pattern and I have made fancy doilies and the like but when I get the crochet hook out it mainly tends to be to create blankets, squares...the simple stuff.
I recently bought some lovely soft lavender DK yarn and thought I would crochet a cushion cover with it. Whilst the yarn is lovely, it is not ideal for crochet as it splits very easily whilst working making it quite difficult to build-up any kind of speed.
However, it is creating a lovely soft finish...just means it will take a bit longer.I also found some lovely assorted fibres that I want to incorporate but I haven't made up my mind yet whether I will crochet them as part of the construction or add them after as decoration - will need to give this some thought.
In the meantime, this is something that I can sit in front of the TV and and pick up from time to time just as something to do..................................

Oh thats pretty, I've only tried crochet once, but I love how fast it grows compared to knitting. I really want to play with it more when I've got more time.
