maybe a stupid request but............

Karen you will find that any of us would be glad to hear from you. We are all a support for the othes. They have all held me up when I have fallen! Pun intended! I look to them for help and support and they give it. I love these people!

Boy, I don't think its a stupid question, I was trying to do this stitch the other day and I kept coming up with what looked like a triangle/glob of yarn. Still not sure what I was doing wrong, have decided to stick to basic stitches for now.

Think of those stitches by their parts,they are just a set of stitches done in the same way repeatedly. Crochet is only sc ,hdc ,dc ,tc, dtc ,trtc, (i think
that 's all) The rest is just combinations of these stitches worked together in different ways with each set having a new name. For example a V stitch
is like 2dcs, ch1, 2dcs . I think 2 ch 2 as I crochet them, which is a kind of counting, to keep track of where I am. Or 1, 2ch2, 2,2ch2, 3 2ch2, if I,m
doing a row of 3. Does this help?

I'm glad you found the help you were looking for and I hope your piece turns out the way you hope. It's wonderful that you and your son have each other to look after one another. What a blessing.

thank you everyone for your thoughts and help. I will certainly post a picture when it is done. He is a very special son and what he wants is a little complicated but I think I've found all of the parts that will be applied after the basic background is done. It was just that Tunisian stitch that had me stumped.
All of you are also in my prayers. Mash52, it's awesome that you beat it. I've already passed the original time period they said I had so..........keep on fighting every day.
Landon, I work on either my son's or one of the afghans I promised to my other kids or grandkids every day. Keeps me occupied and I don't even think about the health issue. Not ignoring it just not letting it dominate me.
Love you all
Karen
