I usually keep a bag with a crochet project to take with me...not necessarily a quick project, but usually one that I don't have to think about really hard because of distractions. I do hats a lot...

This is a great resource. Thanks!

Davena, the Craftsy class is great. For me diagrams are so easy now that I learned them...I much prefer them to written out patterns now. Ola alaa, thanks for sharing...these are beautiful!

Thanks! I like seeing the charted version to a pattern.

Thanks so much for the pattern link...I am going to share it with another group I am in!

Just saw a pattern called Holiday Cables Throw from Redheart that has a celtic weave design as part of the afghan...maybe this is what you were looking for Holiday Cables Throw Crochet Pattern | Red...

lovely stitch work in these...thanks for sharing

I love this one - it drapes really nicely and works up quickly
Ravelry: Bowtie Pi pattern by Cheri McEwen

Several of my favorites have already been mentioned...however, there is also Mooglyblog.com and Crochet Geek

I really like the patterns that actually make the mobius all at once, crocheting around both edges rather than joining at the end. If you want it long enough to go around your neck twice, make your...

Charles, I just signed up. I really only need the advanced parts so I figured the "half price" is paying for the second half for me. Thanks! Real busy with other things right now but looking...

I'm the ripple stitch.

I didn't like crocheting with thread for a long time. But I've discovered that it wasn't the thread size but the fact that cotton thread doesn't "give" like yarn (I don't like most cotton yarns...

I teach a crochet class at my local library. Hopefully I can pick up a few tips from you. I have crocheted for years but just in the last couple of years started using charts and symbols. I love...

I recently made a shawl from a pattern on Ravelry.com that I really like - it is called Bowtie Pi - and is very easy and drapes well. It is a semi-circle and starts from the center top. Ravelry:...

There are some people who crochet from the charts in a pattern like this. I'm sure there is some information here about learning to crochet from charts. Here is a link to an article about...

Hello, Clare. I have used some of your patterns and they are really clear and easy to follow. This forum is great...you can spend as much time as you have available here.

nice chart for the crocodile stitch....if you crochet from diagrams there is a wealth of info on this site...some really nice shawls

Here is the link to one that you can make any size you want, mostly double crochet with a nice edging.
Ravelry: York Shawlette pattern by Anastacia Zittel

I had saved this pattern the other day. It starts out plain but the lace edge looks nice. But you may have already seen it as it is on ravelry. Ravelry: Desperately Seeking Shallow SC Crescent...

Jean Marie, I have learned to love using patterns with chart symbols. I hadn't seen the second link you shared. It will be great to use with the class I teach at the local library. That mini doily...

It looks to me like the holes at the ends of the rows are going to be made when you put the border on. However, I can't say for sure until I make one. Looks like a nice pattern.

You start at the center. The "t"shapes represent double crochet stitches and the dots represent chain stitches. You work back and forth (the rows become half circles) Here are links that show how...

Thanks so much for this post. I just emailed the link to someone I was talking to yesterday who needed to make a baby blanket quickly. I suggested had suggested V stitch to her.

Narria's comment is good; that is what I do a lot. Sometimes I just "luck" into something that works. I had a pattern that called for a light weight yarn. I used the stitch count for a medium and...
