Hi Jean Marie,
I did crochet the ship - it was for my grandson's birthday. I'm trying to figure out how to attach a picture here and not sure how to do it. If it doesn't come out right maybe someone...

This is my first response to a discussion on this site and not sure what I'm doing. However, "crocheting as therapy" really strikes a chord with me, as I've been doing it for 15 yrs now, since my...

Thanks Roe - another store to haunt for bargains. Of course, I'll have to rent a storage locker if I actually buy more yarn.

Really? Joanne has mannequin heads? Didn't know that -I'll be heading there this afternoon. Thanks for the tip, wherever it came from.

Hi Marty -think I just figured out how to post a link. Hope the above works for you.

Hi Marty - the picot stitch, where you crochet into the top and side of the tr is very simple but hard to explain without a picture. I googled "how to crochet a picot" and there is a good video on...

Don't worry about blinking. They simply put a bit of tape to hold the eye open and it works just fine. Because of the bright light they use you get a kaleidoscope view - pretty colors. No pain at...

Congratulations! Just had my 2nd surgery 3 days ago and same results. Wore glasses and/or contacts since I was 15 and hardly recognize myself without. Going to need glasses for reading but distance...

Wow - just realized I actually posted a few pics. There may be no stopping me now.

Beautiful work. I still haven't figured out how to post a picture. Just watched a video and still am stumped. Some day!!! [

Thanks, Maryjane - would love to see some of your work. Do you have any pics posted where I might find them?
Pat

thanks, Larisa. I'm not sure where Olney is - I'm 30 miles southwest of Chicago.

I am such an incompetent when it comes to computers. I've tried to attach a few pics of my crochet projects. Don't know if I did it right. Can someone let me know if it worked? Not even sure where...

Never mind my last post re enlargement - silly me forgot to double click! And.... they are even more beautiful close up , Larisa.

Beautiful work, Larisa. Looks like you use sz 20 or 30 thread? The doilies I've made are the more practical sz 10 thread and just regular stitches as opposed to filet. Now you make me want to try...

Thanks for the welcome - I'm Pat and look forward to meeting others. I love to make thread doilies - some to be used as doilies, some as placemats and I've even framed a few to hang on walls. Would...

Thanks, Barbara. I watched your tutorial and will try attaching pics another time. Obviously, I'm better at crochet than computers. Plus, my computer is about 8 yrs old (dinosaur age for a computer)...

Hi everyone - looking forward to sharing patterns, problems, etc. with the crochet community. I crochet just about anything from afghans to slippers. Lately I've been doing mostly toys since my...
