Know what? After reading about all of the frustration over tangled yarn, and believe me, I've been there.......they make ball winders both manual and electric. Will have to say they are a little...

Hi Tender!
I too am self-taught. Back in 1965 a friend I worked with showed me the chain stitch and told me to buy a book showing the different stitches. There weren't nearly as many as there are...

Living in Charleston, SC we rarely see snow but I would love to see a few inches! Keeping my fingers crossed..

It's really bad here in Charleston, SC too!

Yes, its a crochet stitch. (Raspberry stitch) Its made with a sc, dc, sc in same stitch, skip 2 stitches and repeat. The actual pattern ends up on the wrong side so you have to turn it to that side...

Look in allcrochet.com. They have lots of patterns. Good luck!
