Hi everyone, Its been a while since I have been on this site, and a while since I have picked up my last project--an open-work shawl in black. Will try to get busy again. Just thought I would...

Oh! My! How beautiful!! But excuse my ignorance. What is a mandala? It looks complicated.
Shelah

Hi again, Jean Marie, Oh, yes, I do crochet when I am tired, but am usually sorry if it is a pattern that takes some concentration. The next morning I can see where I made some mistakes. So I try...

Hi Jean Marie, One thing that you really need to untangle yarn is Patience!!! I use a lot of leftover yarns donated to a charity group and sometimes things are so snarled that someone without...

SharonO, Beautiful little doll! How big is it? Looks tiny.
I have just started making crochet animals. It is fun, but rather fussy, especially after making a bed-sized afghan. However,...

Shelley, Yes, I now have only one cat who adopted me along with her three kittens. I found a home for the kittens, took Missy to the vet to be spayed and went about getting her to let me pet her. ...

Shelley, Thank you for the edging secret. How easy!! Will make a note in my crochet folder so that I will have it to try.
Am now working on some cloth stuffed cats and catnip mice for a...

Gorgeous work!! Reminds me of my dear Gramma's bedspreads and table coverings. She did lovely work too. I think I have some of her work in my cedar chest. I shall have to dig it out. Thank you...

Where do you find these diagrams? I haven't seem them anywhere except when people ask about them?

Shelley, How do you make this fringe on the silky scarf? It is just so nice! I like to learn about new edgings and fringes. Is there a tutorial for it? Shelah

I bet you will make something very nice with this color combination.
Right now I am between projects. Can't make up my mind what to start, another afghan with the baby blue and white that I...

Thanks, Charcreates, You make me feel better about mistakes. I have since ripped out the corners made with the pattern instructions and have used the old
tested method of corner that have had...

AdaBusyBee! Such beautiful afghans! Love the patterns! Your situation sounds a lot like mine. I don't have many people to crochet things for that would want them. I do have one friend that...

Love, love, love this story. It takes me back 75 years or so to my childhood. I was brought up by my paternal grandparents after my mother died in childbirth. She worked a nine to five job, did...

Wow!! I can't follow any of this! But, first of all, I am left-handed and second, I am finding the diagram patterns much easier to follow. Am doing an anigurumi (?????) (monkey) with a small...

Got this pattern printed out and made it with leftover yarn that is free from the group I belong to. It turned out very large and colorful--used white, green, red black and gray. It is the largest...

Thanks so much! How interesting! That means when a pattern has me stumped, I can try to figure it out with a diagram. Can't wait to give it a try. Have not had much luck with trying to figure a...

I checked this afghan pattern and thought it was lovely. Have downloaded it and plan to try it soon. It is labeled not for beginners, but I will give it a try!
(I love challanges.) Love to read...

Hello,
I thought I was logged in, but apparantly not. So I will tell you a little about myself.
My life is rather quiet now that I am approaching 80 with a sick husband to care for. ...

Pretty pot holders!! I have made the wash cloth pattern on the Peaches and Cream yarn wrapper when I bought the cotton yarn. Those were quick and easy and I made flower decorations to put on them. ...

Great Idea. But I don't rewind my yarn into a ball all the time. When I use a skein just as it comes, I place it in a large plastic container that coffee come in (well wasshed of course, and with a...

Hi, I'm Shelah and I have been crocheting off and on since I was 12 or so. My Grandmother, who brought up, was an avid crocheter and always had something going. I don't remember her taking any of it...

Hi, My name is Shelia. I hope that I can learn to use this sight. I haven't been on a forum before. I prefer crocheting to knitting as it is easier for me to handle only one hook rather than two...
