Just saying Hey to everyone, Bea here, or Fiestywoman50. Love crocheting. Did it for years, then drifted away. Haven
't done much for the last 20 years or so. Getting back to it now and wondering why I ever stopped. Am working more with the thread now. Sure is a difference than with yarn. lol

I am currently working on a long skirt that is pineapple pattern, but my next project is a filet Dragon Shawl. I must say, it is really hard keeping the proper tension with the thread after working with yarn.

I only knit from yarn. I crochet from #30 thread... These make lacey things

[fiestywoman50]

Wow, I'm impressed. such tiny thread. How do you keep an even tension? It makes my hands cramp after a while just trying to keep it even.

I do not know. I crochet for many years. I think it s only experience and training. Thread #10 look too thick for me. I know they make bigger things but not so lacey. I crochet for my pleasure. Do you have a cat? I have 5 birds == Larisa

Hello, I just signed up. I have been crocheting before and just recently took it up again. I am looking for simple patterns only as a start.
