Hello!
I made this alphabet book as a gift for a 1st birthday
The front and back covers are crochet. I tried to give each page a different style/technique and each letter a different colour, as well as a variety of textures

I hold it pretty much the same as ademareej. Thats the way I was taught.
So its over the pinky, under the ring and middle then over the index. Then I use the ring finger and thumb to hold the work (or the tail, when starting a chain).
I took a few pics, hopefully they help.

I haven't posted stuff for ages, so here is some of the homemade gifts I gave last Christmas

The nestlace (I love how the length is adjustable, I'm wearing right now)


Both sides of the glass slide pendant (sorry the pics are so dark, flash and glass just don't mix!)



The bonus braclet

A pretty wristlet!!!

I love the fabrics, a b&w paisley print and a black with white polka dot lining.

Thanks, Its the perfect size for my wallet and phone, and very convenient.

She has spoiled me with not one, but two cosmetic cases 
She attached a pretty tag too, I didn't know about making tags (sorry about that partners)
I absolutely love them!
