Hello, I am happy to part of this group. I have crocheted for many years and still have trouble keeping my edges straight. Maybe I can get some help here. Have a nice day everyone. Jan

Howdie and welcome....when you say you can't keep your 'edges straight', is it curling or one row longer than the next? If curling, that just happens and blocking and pinning w/ help w/ that. If it's one row longer than the next, you might not know which is your last stitch and, thus making an extra stitich in the end of some rows and not others. To fix that, put a safety pin or counter at the end of the row and soon you will not have to do that to know which is your last stitch.

Hi and welcome! I put a pin at the end of the row so I always know where the last stitch is! So glad you joined us!

Hi Anaisa, thanks for the heads up on keeping my edges straight. I don't have trouble with them curling just finding the last stitch. I will be putting a pin in the last stitch from now on. Thanks again.

Hi KL1000, I always wanted to know how to make thread doilies. I congratulate you on making them. I watched a group of women making lace using little wooden spools and was fascinated is that the same thing? Thanks for the welcome also.
