New "kid" on the block.....(dont I wish)

[MPella]

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to say hello and thanks for letting me join, I am not new at crochet-ing but I'm not terrific either!

I have a tough time making a ripple! I love that pattern so much and I lose the sides or make them larger....grrrr!

Anyway I came along snooping for teacher gifts...anybody have any real cute ideas for something simple yet does up quickly?

Of course my niece who lives with me wants to give everyone a goodbye gift..."If it isn't too much trouble".

I have till 6/18....I have a little time left!

Thanks again and take care everyone.

Hi Marion! And welcome! With a ripple afghan you have to keep track of the last stitch of the row. I use a small safety pin and mark the last stitch! You rows are getting longer because you are adding stitches! A ripple is easy but you really need to count as you go- and the pin will help! A crocheted bookmark would make a nice gift for just about anyone! And they are easy to do! Glad you joined us!

Hello,

Welcome to the group! It is great to have you here! Here is an idea for teachers:



Little Birdie Secrets: back-to-school crocheted apple scrubbie and dishcloth {free pattern}

[MPella]

Thank you so much for the nice welcome.....I love the Little Birdie!!! I found a bath mitt and I think the scrubbie and dishcloth to go with it will be terrific!

Once I get used to getting here, I keep forgetting user name and password....Old age and bottled blonde....I will be great!

Take care
thanks again
