Maryjane, I found the site you mentioned in your post and OMG I never imagined a site with so much to look at! Never mind only an hour, better get yourself comfy because it will take you lots of...

Carolyn,

I do so agree. When I give someone a scarf or other item I may have made, they are so appreciative because I think they realize what work does go in to making it. Speaking of giving...

I love any new websites for crocheting, thanks Val. Will check it out also.

I love reading about what others are doing and if this doesn't sound familiar, I don't know what does! I find myself starting one project too and then I look over all my crocheting emails and if...

Thank you Shaddy, you have given me some very good advice. I think after making three caps that were too small I was about to give up and my confidence in making one that fits was not good. I am...

To all that have sent answered my plea for hat patterns, I thank you so much. This forum is wonderful, warm and so friendly; so glad I came across it too!

kath1145,
Did I tell you how bad I was in math, lol. I will probably have to get my husband to help me there; he is terrific in any type of math problem!! I really appreciate your reply and I...

Thanks Shaddy, I think I have a tendency to crochet tightly so I will try to remember to relax a little bit more! I have never changed hook sizes, but I bet that would really help me. I appreciate...

Patsg,
I never thought of using a larger crochet hook. I probably would have been better off if I did. I hope to have good luck with the videos from Barbara G., but will definitely try to remember...

Hi there twinfaye,

When my Dad was alive we used to visit his folks who lived in North Carolina. I loved to hear them talk and they made fun of us because we had an "accent"., lol. I also agree...

Barbara G.,

Thank you so very much for the videos you posted. I am so happy to have them and can't wait to start "shaying" (as my hubby says)!!! The choices are great also. I really appreciate...

Hi,

I have tried a couple of patterns for a man's crocheted cap for winter (preferably one that folds up at the end). Both of them were easy to make, but ended up not fitting my head or anyone...

Hello Stoneill, Just wanted to let you know that this group is great and very informative! I know I will learn lots of stuff for my crocheting ventures and if I'm stuck, I won't have any problem...

Hi Maryjane,

So glad you told me where you live. Not that far away; you never know, maybe we can meet sometime! I find this website to be so interesting and am so glad I joined. It has lots of...

Hello Irishjl, thanks for the warm welcome! My husband and I were just talking about making plans for a vacation in Myrtle Beach; one of our favorite spots. We haven't been there for many years so...

Thanks so much, Barbara. It is a very informative and warm site. I'm sure I will enjoy using it!!!!

It is so funny how people think we have an accent and yet when I talk to someone from another state or country, I think the same thing!

Val,

I don't know of any factory by that name. Maybe at one time they did, but I am not familiar with it. It would be wonderful if it was still here. I'll have to check into it!

Hi there Val...thanks for answering. I'm sure someone will admit to it, haha!!!

Just curious, are there any fellow crocheters from the Albany, NY area? :D

Google "how to shape doilies like grandma....It is exactly like my grandma did it, I guess I am not crazy after all! LOL....

Hi Denise, I know this is gonna sound crazy but, when I was little I watched my grandmother use a mixture of sugar and hot water and dip her doilies she made into it . She squeezed the doily out and...

Maryjane,
I think you can call us neighbors; I live in Colonie; probably about 40 minutes or so away!

Hi Maryjane,

Thanks for the welcome. I see you are also from upstate NY. I just love it here.

As for things I like to crochet; as I mentioned, they are easy patterns. I have made hot pads,...

Hi Larisa,

I have seen your work and it's beautiful. My grandmother loved to crochet intricate doilies and she never used a pattern. She would make one and when it was done, she used a...
