Hi, Everybody!
My patterns are very easy and quick! As new members join, they can jump right in.
I have selected patterns for a cozy and a coaster. So, knock yourselves out, whatever colours you want to use. however you want to embellish or decorate. Buttons, earrings, orphan earrings, broken jewellery....appliques....let your imagination go and create!!
You need to know how to do this stitches:
CH Chain
DC Double Crochet
HDC Half Double Crochet
Sl St Slip Stitch
[/COLOR][COLOR=royalblue]Also, remember to keep your foundation rows straight and not twisting, go here for LOTS of great suggestions on keeping it straight:
