hi again

[CrochetSuzieQ]

Hi forgot to say in my introduction that I live in Kentucky, in the US. I am a grandmother with three grandchildren, 2 1/2 and under. I teach English part time to non-English speakers (mostly refugees) and crochet whenever I have a spare minute. Right now we're crocheting sweaters for baby kits to send to refugees overseas. I've found that if you want to do a warm sweater in crochet, it needs to be done in sc. If anyone knows of another stitch that is tight and warm, please let me know.

The half sc would proably work too. But you are right the smaller the stitch the warmer it will be. God Bless you for doing that.

Welcome fom Pa. Good to have you with us

[Sleepiebear]

I am amazed by your energy! God bless you and your endeavors. Sounds like you have been doing this for awhile. I am trying to teach myself. Would a linked stitch be warm enough? Anyway, much encouragement to you!

Welcome to Crochet Talk!

Hi, Sleepiebear! Don't be amazed. My housework gets neglected with all these projects, so there you go. I'm not sure what a linked stitch is, but I'll look it up. Thanks!

[CrochetSuzieQ]

I have never used a half sc. I'll look that up. Thanks!

Do you have a cat? I have 6 birds

[CrochetSuzieQ]

Oh, how lovely! What kind of birds? We have a dog and two cats, but they're usually outside. My family has had birds from time to time, mostly parakeets, but after we got married we had a love bird. The only problem was he kept attacking us! We finally returned him to the lady who had given him to us and she put him with a mate. After that he was quite gentle, so she said she thinks love birds need to be in pairs.

Hello
I have 4 budgerigars and 2 crazy lovebirds. Yes, lovebirds are aggressive and bite. They are only independent. If mine are hungry they fly to my shoulder... (can bite ear) What is color of your cats?
