I've just tried the bean stitch on a couple of small projects, and I really like the look. These coasters are so pretty and with different color yarns could be made for any season or occasion ...

I recently discovered a book at my library called "How to Make 100 Crochet Appliques" by Deborah Burger. It has patterns for all kinds of great ideas: flowers, leaves, seasonal, gardening, animals...

I haven't seen this stitch before, but I'm already thinking of ways to use it. Thanks for the great tutorial!

My favorite stitch varies according to my project. I love the neat precise look of single crochet, but it takes time to build up a lengthy piece of fabric. Sometimes I use half-double crochet, just...

I just tried mine last night, and had to turn off the light. It was driving me crazy. I'm going to try the nail polish on the tip.

Great idea! I need to do something like that. My cat's box is in my bathroom, and although I have a mat that I bought at the pet store under it, there's still grit tracked on the floor. The mat...

I can't tell from the picture how large the scrolls are, but they look like they would make a beautiful trim for a jacket or a sweater.

I'm in Northern Virginia and a skein runs around 6.99 - 7.99 here. These scarves are very light weight. I've made my scarves around 6 ft. long and then double them instead of making the second row....

Yes I have. They work up beautifully with an easy single crochet stitch. There's a demo on Youtube for Frill Seeker yarn which is similar to the Pirouette. I skip the second row and just make my...

Thanks Patti. I love finding this tricks that make my work look better.

What wonderful responses to my request! So far, I've made him an "Angry Birds" hat, which he loves and wears a lot. I've also just sent him a "Monster" that I made from instructions on Craftsy. ...

It's a relief to hear that someone else does this. It's so hard to imagine a completed item. I just did the same thing with an afghan. Once I had three of the four colors crocheted, they just...

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.

I'm trying to get my scarf finished for the Virginia Special Olympics. I only have a few more rows to go, so I should be able to get it done tonight, and then my Knook and I are going to sit down...

Cute idea! I've seen those too. I'll Google it and see if I can find an easy pattern.

I have a young teenage friend with cancer(13-year old boy). Other than hats, can anyone suggest anything else that I could crochet for him? He's going through chemo and radiation right now and of...

I didn't get any hand made gifts either, but did receive a couple of kits to get me going in 2012; the Knook kit and a kit called "Yummy Crochet" for crocheting Amigurumi type things like a cup of...

I hope you all have a great Christmas and best wishes for 2012. One of my resolutions will be to learn to use the Knook :)

Well, my Knook kit arrived this afternoon, and my husband has already wrapped it up as a gift to me. (I love to Christmas shop for myself!) The hooks (you get 3) look like crochet hooks with a hole...

Almost done with my last ski cap! Just need to add the pom-pom and wrap it up.

I just ordered a Knook kit from Annie's Attic. I've been crocheting for a long, long time (learned from a dinosaur), but just can't get the hang of knitting. I'm hoping this gadget helps. My great...

Barbi, thanks for the Night Before Christmas poem. I can certainly relate! I'm finishing up my last hat, and am planning on what to start on after Christmas (something for me!). Happy holidays!...

I'm fairly new to this site, and I'm enjoying seeing what everyone is making for gifts. I've crocheted off and on for as long as I can remember. I've recently started again. For Christmas, I'm...

Hi, I'm a new member. I discovered this site while i was looking for instructions for chainless crochet, and got side-tracked. I started crocheting when I was about 10 years old and have been at...
