I enjoyed reading this thread, what a bunch of great ideas!
I made 3 throw pillows awhile back and used regular pillow forms, white. I did not put a liner over it. Since I used light colored yarn,...

I bet you could make belts, too. I've seen some really pretty belts that looked like they were crocheted.

My son and I were invited to my SIL's for lunch, but I may not go unless he wants to. To me, Labor Day is not that big a deal, many times over the years I had to work on big holidays like...

Thanks, I'll check it out. I appreciate your help.

Thank you for your help. It is similar, I think, but I don't want the 'points' at the lapel. And the front should be slightly longer at the center. I guess I am not really good at describing...

Well, thanks for filling me in on Ravelry, glad to know that it is not an 'elite' club. I used to belong to another forum but I have not posted there in so long, I doubt that anyone would remember...

I haven't tried Ravelry, I might see if I can get in. A few years ago, I heard that it was sort of elite, they didn't accept everyone who tried to join. May be different now.
I found a lightweight...

I have tons of crochet magazines, but have not found anything really close to what I am looking for. I can find ready-made sweaters, maybe I will take a picture of one of those in the store and post...

You are so right, Susan. If we can't talk to friends and share each other's sorrows, we'd be a miserable bunch. It sounds like your arthritis pain is much more severe than mine. I can still get...

I have been searching off and on for awhile but cannot find a particular crochet pattern I am looking for. I will try to describe it and if anyone has any ideas, please chime in and tell me.

It...

Susan, I am so sorry for all your pain. I was MIA for awhile too, due to several things all hitting me at once. We lost my father-in-law in Jan. and my husband left me in April. He hasn't handled his...

Hi, everybody! Haven't been here in a few weeks, for several reasons, but I won't bore you.

I sometimes stock up on grocery items/canned goods at the dollar stores here, but I don't think any of...

Buy a book!! There are so many out there and you can leaf through them and figure out which one makes the most sense, or has pictures that show what each step is supposed to look like. It's easier to...

Usually a dc2tog is used to decrease the number of stitches. In some dc2 tog, you only chain one at the beg. or end of a row, and if it's done on several following rows, it will make the item become...

I do the same! In fact, I've got 3 big binders full of patterns. Been collecting crochet patterns for years, and finally hit on a way to keep them nice and clean and easy to find.

I keep all my...

I've been decluttering now for months, but my hubby keeps bringing in more stuff and I'm ready to scream!! He brought 4 or 5 boxes home the other day with stuff from his dad's house that he wants to...

Well, if he is ready to end the marriage because of something like this, he isn't worth having around anyway. Sorry to be so blunt, but your daughter has handled it well, she is to be admired for...

Thank you, all of you, so much for your prayers and condolences. I appreciate it very much! I apologize for not getting back here sooner. Things have been hectic for the past couple of weeks, but...

I'm the same way. Tried knitting several different times, it was just so awkward! I kept thinking, well, crochet was awkward at first too, and I did it, so surely... but nope, never really got it. ...

Just wanted to let you all know that I may not be around for a few days. My FIL passed away yesterday. He was taken to the hospital Sat. and had emergency surgery Sun. afternoon, and never really...

I go through phases. For awhile it was sweaters and tops, then it was afghans, then I crocheted a lot of kitchen and bathroom things, dishcloths, hot pads, and some decorative kleenex box covers,...

I used to sew a lot, made most of my clothes, but don't do that much anymore, due to poor eyesight now. (Macular degeneration in both eyes.) Besides crocheting now, I like to read, but don't do it...

Hi, I am in East Tx and it's pretty cold here, lots of wind. The dampness in the air makes it feel a lot colder than it is, too. I think it was 18 this morning with a wind chill of minus-something....

Definitely put the lassos on the vest!! It's a cowgirl outfit, after all. This is adorable, btw.

I don't think I have a real goal for this year, other than using up some of my yarn scraps, and trying a few projects that I have put off starting. My hubby gave me a gift card for Hobby Lobby and I...
