Oh dear, that sounds like a challenge. I hope you have lots of leftover bits of the colors you used. My granddaughter made herself a similar blanket but she didn't weave the ends in properly so it...

Thanks Judi. Do you mean using the "Russian join"? I have not tried it but I do have a tutorial on it somewhere. I think this one has been washed too (fortunately it isn't wool... how sad about...

Hi Grampat, dogs and afghans don't mix ha ha...at least puppies who are in the chewing stage. What a bit of luck though that you could find some of the yarn in the fringe to repair it. I am...

Thank you Faye, perhaps that will be another way to go with the smaller holes. I could also use embroidery thread, but of course getting the right colour might be harder. Funnily enough the afghan...

Hi Teresah Thank you sooo much for going to the trouble to find these. One said to use FRAY CHECK and I am going to do that for the tiny little ends. I didn't think of that, I sure hope it...

My nephew has asked me to repair a king sized crocheted afghan that has special meaning for him. I am finding that whoever crocheted it joined threads by making a knot and then cutting the ends off...

Hello again thanks for your input Cindy and bluemntgirl, I do have Adobe and even installed the latest one, but it isn't working for me for some reason. Must be something to do with my setup so I...

I can't seem to view this, can anyone help? Tks Margaret.

Now THAT is amigurumi!! I thought my elephant took a long time and was difficult! Wow! Thanks for sharing that.

I found this site that has great patterns. The only thing is to convert the yarn to something more easily available. Try here

Garnstudio ~ DROPS Design and go to Acccessories for many hat...

I haven't been able to find a Knook in my area. I suppose I will have to wait to visit my daughter in the city to find one.

I have tried the Russian join with not much success, although I don't intend to give up yet, I need to practice a bit more. It does make more sense to deal with the tails as you go though. Your...

I found this site very helpful and it has patterns too. How To Knook - Leisure Arts
Haven't tried it yet though.

Mama Rose your afghan is lovely and looks so cosy! Did it take forever to weave in all the ends? What patience! :)

Thank you Patti, definitely not perfect...those little tiny bits are very difficult to do...but it was pretty much trial and error.

Thanks for the help with the uploading, something else new that...

This is my third amigurumi...I think I was a bit too ambitious with this one! LOL!

I don't know how to upload, I must look into that.

My grandkids must be the HP experts! They have read the books several times over and we always went to the midnight premieres in costume. It is...

Hi Patti I just finished my little sailor elephant, but he is a bit lopsided. Still I like him. That site has some great vids on how to do things, and tips on small things you don't always think...

Just found this great new (to me) site. Perhaps some of you already know of it but will post the link for those who don't:

Crochetti I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope your return to crochet is soothing and helpful for you in dealing with it. It seems to always help if you keep busy. What kinds of things are...

It is always interesting to see what others are reading and I am getting some new titles and authors to add to my TBR list! Thanks. :)

Oh yes, Room was a choice for my online bookclub a few months ago, really different and interesting. Also love Lisa Genova's Still Alice and Left Neglected.
Loved the Harry Potter books! Also...

Hi Patti, I don't know Hobby Lobby, is it online? I finally bought mine on Etsy, at this link...they were reasonable and came very quickly, and she seemed to have a good range.

Animal Craft...

Hi Patti, You have loads of good time to come with your little ones then, it is so wonderful to see them grow and I am sure you will enjoy teaching them things when the time comes. Mine are...

Thank you Patti, ( re the name: you must have read the book too?) I am not very confident about the embroidery part either, I know the basic stitches but have not done any embroidery for years. I...
