Hi Ms. Dale,

I would love to see pictures of your shawls. I have a pattern for a crochet butterfly shawl but haven't started on it yet.

Karol259 Beautiful Afghan!

Thanks Karol259!

It's taken 5 months but here it is. It fits a double bed but it's for my husband to keep in his guitar room on the couch.

CotonDeTulear1- WOW! That is gorgeous! Nice work too!

Blondeblue95, this is the cutest thing ever! Did you design it yourself? Nice work!

Thanks Lynda! I am on the last 30 rows and I am working on it every night. The deadline is the middle of May to get it in the Alameda County Fair. It's taken 5 months to get this far with it. The...

Because the hook is so big and it is 4 ply yarn the stitches are big and loose. As you crochet the blanket you work the stitches front row connected to the back row and there is air space between...

Thanks Jean Marie,
It is super warm as well because it holds air pockets. Also easy to machine wash on gentle cycle and med. to cool dryer. It will block itself in the dryer so no need to lay it...

I am working on this baby blanket for a friend of mine. I was taught how to do this technique by my aunt many years ago. I don't know if there are any written instructions for crocheting this...

The only project I have done using viscose is making tassels. It is the only thing to use that makes good tassels. It was a bit slippery to work with and tie together. Also frayed a bit but...

If you go online and type in Viscose yarn You will find places that sell a viscose blend do yarn. It is mail order but I order yarns online quite often with no problems.

Mitzee,
No you're not a weirdo. Have you tried volunteer work at a school/recreation center for special needs adults near your home? That's how I started where I work and then they hired me on. ...

Hi Mitzee,
I crochet to relax at the end of the day. I teach at a school for special needs adults. I teach computers, kitchen skills ( preparing food and keeping areas clean), as well as impact...

Hi Mitzee,
My mother started me crocheting when I was 5 years old. I still enjoy crocheting new patterns. If you've got patience, you could do the Indian blanket pattern for sure. BTW I love the...

I love the shawl! The criss cross idea is great!

The fair isle technique can be done with crochet as well. It is a bit difficult because you have to carry the different colors of yarn across your work. You Tube has a good tutorial on how to do...

Yes it's crocheted. The pattern is called Indian Blanket from Annies Attic.

It is a pattern called Indian Blanket from Annies Attic. It is downloadable from her site. The zig zag stripe involves a lot of fair isle technique because you have to carry all the colors across...

I love Tigger! This is so beautiful and I am sure your new Nephew will love it! Where did you get the pattern or did you design it yourself?

Love it! I should be finished with this afghan by the end of this month.

I am working on this now to enter in the Alameda County Fair

There is a company in San Francisco ( we live in Oakland so it's not far from us) it is called Foam Order. They have a website Foamorder.com. I use the 5 mm thick for adult slippers and the 3 mm...

Yes, they don't slip either. Wash well in the machine reg. cycle and dry med. heat. For children's slippers just use a thinner wetsuit material. You can put these soles on any slipper pattern...

I wanted to share an idea I have used for making slippers. I buy wet suit material ( 5 mm) in sheets and cut out the size of the slipper. After crocheting the slipper I use a D size hook to...
