Send it to me!!! I am in the desert known as CA and we are DESPERATE for water and snow!

welcome! I can attest to the friendliness and helpful people on this site! I am new and they have all been awesome :)

Wow thank you all for the great responses!!

That is so cute! I will try to make one, since it doesn't look like it needs much yarn

Hiya fellow crochet folks :) I have seen several hot pad designs and I thought it would be a nice gift for Mother's Day. My concern is that the yarn will melt! Is there a special type of yarn to use?...

Thank you for sharing your story! I feel the same way about this darned scarf I am making! I was so determined to get my first 'long chain' scarf done, and yet it has beaten me every time. I finally...

That is so clever! What a nice way to brighten up a kitchen :) I am hopeful that one day I will be talented enough to 'wing it'!! Very cute!

Thank you for the link and a special shout out thanks to God for letting me be American rather than Polish! I guess He knew that language might prove a daunting task for me!! LOL!

Hi Wenda! I am Rachelle, I am a new member. I am so glad your brother is there and taking care of you! What a blessing that he was in the right place at the right time :) One of the things that is...

I have never been to a show, but I do go to the Orange County Fair! There is a lady that has family in the livestock competitions, and she is there every year knitting. She will make yarn out of any...

I taught myself to crochet with books and a few dads,but my maternal grandmother and great grandmother both made doilies! I never saw either of them crochet, but after my great grandmother passed...

I had it on while I was doing the dishes - it was pretty impressive! The one thing I didn't like was that the music was so loud, it was very difficult for me to understand what the announcer was...

Welcome, Laura! I am Rachelle, and I just joined the site as well. These folks are all really nice. With your experience, I am sure you have some good nuggets of wisdom to pass on :)

My first attempt at making a throw was for a friends baby shower. I chose 3 different yarns in 3 colors, all were different textures and widths. My idea was that it would have different textures for...

The scarf is pretty, but I would personally never wear anything that chunky.

Thank you for sharing that! Those are some really cute patterns

My great grandmother used to make doily stitch table runners and table cloths. There was a group of 10 ladies that would sit and work on them together for months! When her twin daughters were small,...

That is really pretty! I am very impressed with the design

thank you all for the feedback! I will work on being more consistent in my chain and hopefully that will help. This is a long scarf, so I will have to be patient and not try to rush it

I spent more than half of my life in Hawaii, so I am partial to Plumerias! I do like the smell of lavender roses, and I like the happy look of daisies

How do you keep consistency in long chains? I tried making a scarf that had 300 stitches. I counted them correctly, and used markers, but the actual stitches were different sizes, so it was uneven at...

Thank you! I actually did this and found the pattern I want, however, I won't be spending extra money for the pattern. I think I will try to use a simple stitch design I read that switches between a...

That is pretty incredible for someone so young! I am sure with time and practice, you will have a great artist on your hands someday :)

Hi Penny! I am new as well - I am pretty sure you are better at this than I am :D
