I recently purchased Red Heart solely because I was in a hurry and needed the color. I am making a little stuffed figure, so I thought it wouldn't make a huge difference that I was using this brand...

This is a great find! Thank you for sharing. There is actually a boy's (not baby boy, or toddler!) sweater that I am considering making for a ten year old.

Sending every good wish that your health is restored.

Nice solution. Thank you for sharing this with us.

The only thing I would add to this excellent information is that when you are adding stitches be sure to add them in the same pattern throughout the work. That is to say, don't do all the increases...

Vintage is a good thing! Vintage wine commands a premium price!

I do like using the term in reference to a human though, too! "YES! I am VINTAGE!" Much more pleasant sounding than, "I'm old!" :D

What do others do at this event, or what have they done in the past? Are others doing anything that could be considered "personal" or only for themselves? You may be making something for another...

LEARN TO TURN!! Practice, practice, practice. Pay attention to each new row. Count the stitches to be sure you have enough, and not too many before you turn. Ripping out one row beats having to rip...

I am truly excited for you! I cannot wait to see it! Don't hesitate to post some "in process" photos! :D

Thank you! I've been registered since November, but don't get as much of a chance to be here as I'd like.

I don't know if they still do it, but my Da and other younger family members used to fold their Dixie Cups in a special way that when they were unfolded they had those four corners… hard to explain.

Did you ever find a pattern for this? I too am now looking for an authentic Dixie Cup USN style hat that I can crochet from cotton yarn.

Thank you so very much for the additional help! You are not only very talented, but equally as kind! I love this pattern and will thoroughly enjoy making it. Again, thank you!!!

I really like the original and thank you so much for your VERY helpful directions and photos! Could you possibly show a photo of the joining of the motifs together "as you go?" I think I get what...

Yarn too old? Huh. Must say I've never run across that. And yep, I'm old! :D

With regard to the musty smell, if you don't want to put each skein in a leg of nylon stocking and wash it (presuming...

Just a reminder to use natural fiber when making a pot holder or trivet. Acrylic will melt if the pot is too hot. This could also be used for a pillow, or could you just imagine it as a motif for a...

Lovely pattern. I'm currently on the hunt for nice baby blanket patterns that are more intricate than not. Most are simple, and that's fine, but right now I'm looking for some examples that are more...

I've considered doing Roses in the Snow. How do you like it so far?

What a terrific find! I'm so pleased for you. All the colors are really nice too. I don't go to the Goodwill near my home, but I do check out Big Lots from time to time. They carry yarn...

Hello and welcome, Jan! This is a fun site filled with helpful and caring people. You are going to be happy you joined the membership!

What did your books tell you to do, Jan?

I've yet to find a free pattern with the crocodile stitch for adults. However, there is a bootie pattern for adults (free) to which you could add a crocodile cuff.

I'd google free crochet pattern...

Hello and welcome to this lovely site!

Ravelry (join for free) is an excellent place to look for crochet patterns. If you google the item you want to crochet, you will come up with any number of...

Hmmmm, I'm still having problems with turning. I've got the chain down pat. That's not the issue. In the tutorial, when chaining, the photo shows to make the double crochet in the "same" stitch. ...

It will really depend upon the type of yarn, and the size of the hook. Determine how many inches across and how many inches the length should be. (I don't know the measurements of a California King,...
