I love that idea - and snowflakes are fun (and quick!) to make. What if you added crochet ice cycles? (Sorry...spelling?) Make extra long corkscrews with white yarn. Saw that idea in a pattern book...

thank you for the suggestions

I've searched and searched and there's too many choices!! Can anyone recommend a good quality, soft silk or bamboo blend yarn for a short-sleeved sweater I want to make as a gift? Either a fingering,...

I have an extra Toyota ball winder (same as the car company!) that was going to be put up at a garage sale but you are welcome to have it if there's a way I can get it to you ... can crochet talk...

Sooo complicated, some of this!

What stitches did you use on the cloths to get that great ribbing? Really neat. (And your work is lovely - lots of different kinds of stitches and beautifully done. Are you sure you are a beginner?...

Just to add a note: take a quick look at the DROPS website's patterns - each one has copyright info at the bottom that is the most clear copyright info I've ever seen ... wish they all could be that...

I was doing online research at the Library of Congress & came across a set of 5 small pattern books that are copyright-free so you may use them to your heart's content. There is one link (and one...

Regarding the tips about vinegar ... I read somewhere that if a sweater is shrunk to a size too small, soaking it in vinegar will let you block it back to its original size. Anyone else heard of that...

You gotta love all these supportive men! My hubby is the same - there's a great quilting & yarn shop where we often go ... I wander off to shop and my hubby chats with the saleswomen. They just go...

Very pretty - and unusual! I don't often see oval shaped doilies.

No tips for working with Super Saver but once you have finished your project, "kill it" with lots and lots and LOTS of hot steam to block. Do not touch the yarn (It will melt), but block to shape,...
