Gorgeous! I wish I had the time and patience to do something like this.

I've used it before and like the scent but the yarn seemed a little bit "stiffer" than the same brand without the added scent. I used it for hot pads and potholders. I haven't seen it in the stores...

I ended up working slip stitches through the back loops of the strips. It's leaving some ridge but not too bad. I'll post pictures when it's finished. Thanks for the tips.

I adapted a scarf pattern to make this 3-piece valance. I like this yarn, never worked with it before. It's Premier Yarns Cotton Fair (52% cotton/48% acrylic) in Cream. It works well with the...

I like this! My ex daughter-in-law made a set of these for her window earlier this year. So colorful!

This afghan has variegated yarn in the center of each strip, shades of blues and greens mostly, with navy blue outside trim. I started it to use up some leftovers from making a bunch of scarves and...

Thanks, Pixieglitter. I decided to join by using the whip stitch and go into each chain stitch and single crochet on the edges. This gives less of a ridge than working around the chains. I'll post...

What a great idea, Judy Gums. The older I get, the harder time I have keeping track of where I am in a pattern. I'll definitely use this tip!

Hi. I've finished all the strips for a Mile-A-Minute afghan and discovered that I don't like the looks of the joining method in the pattern. The strips have a single crochet, chain 2, single...

I had a similar experience to the OP many years ago when I made a Lone Star quilt for someone who let the dogs sleep on it. It ended up in tatters. That person now crochets and realizes the work...

Belspar, the one I'm just finishing that will be for his sister is a corner to corner, Stripes A Slant on the Red Heart site here... Stripes-A-Slant Throw Crochet Pattern | Red Heart. Hers is in...

Texas, I can get to the crochetjewel site but can't find the pattern you are talking about. Does it have a name?

Thanks, Texas transplant. A star might work since his room is in flag colors.

Six grandkids and 3 great grands. Quite a bunch when they all get together at our house along with a few spouses sprinkled in. Love it and want more!!!

crochet4fun, I see that the chevron pattern you linked to is for dc instead of sc. I know how long ripple/chevron patterns take and I'm sort of in a hurry for this afghan. I might try it in a...

Thanks, Teresah. I've been on here since October but don't post often. Yes, it is definitely helpful and the folks here are really nice!

I've just finished two ripple afghans in single crochet and I was hoping to do something else for this one. But that might be the best pattern for his room. Maybe if I find one in double crochet...

Hi everybody. I'm looking for a good and relatively quick afghan pattern for my 9 year old grandson. It will be done in navy with red and white accent colors (colors of the US flag.) His room...

I use 100% cotton such as Lily Sugar and Cream. I learned years ago that acrylic yarns do melt if the pan is hot enough. Cotton doesn't but it will burn or scorch if you're careless. The cotton is...

Some beautiful work here, Barbara! Thanks for sharing. I especially like the Dusty Snowflake Throw. It really looks like a snowy night! I think this will be one of my projects for the coming year.

Round or square, either one would be nice. I'm like you, not clever enough with crochet patterns to design something this complex.

Hi everybody. I've been looking for a crochet pattern for something that resembles a mariner's compass but haven't had any luck. It's my favorite quilt pattern and there are tons of them available....

We have an A.C. Moore store nearby and I get emails from them about once a week with a coupon for 55% off any regular priced item. And the Michael's that's even closer has a coupon nearly as good...

Hi Songbird. Those are beautiful! I love baby things. One of the few pieces I ever knitted was a baby poncho with a hood for my daughter back in the early '70s. I don't knit anymore but crochet...

Hi Texas transplant! (Transplanted to Texas or from Texas?) I like that afghan pattern, too. The one I'm doing now for Hubby is a ripple in blue and off white, something just a bit masculine. ...
