This skirt is amazing! I have one that is almost identical to this (couldn't believe it, and lined, too) that I purchased from QVC several years ago for less than $30.00 at the time. So many people...

That's great that you already have the book I know what you mean about forgetting what you have. When I go through my patterns one or two times a year, I am sometimes surprised at the great...

DorisAnn,

If you look on Amazon - enter "Romantic Looks Crochet (Leisure Arts #4324)" - - on page 25 there is a "pointless hooded" jacket pattern. I made ithe entire jacket in practically no...

I crochet many sweaters and other clothing. It is important to check the gauge every time and then use a larger or smaller hook if necessary, after measuring your gauge. I also have a dress form...

This is generous of you, but I am confused. How can my printer print these labels on fabric to sew into a crocheted item? I would not want to sew paper labels into my crocheted sweaters, etc. Am I...

Just look in the retail stores - there is crochet in just about every article of women's clothing. It is so popular! I crochet many sweaters in all kinds of stitches and get a lot of compliments. ...

Very nice job by both crocheters, but since colors are so big in fashion right now, I vote for #2 and I would want to use that one most often.

Wow! About a year ago I posted about getting a dress form. I also got mine at Joanne's Fabrics and love it. I have since crocheted many sweaters for myself - about 7 or 8. The form is converted...

I like Joyful Crochet

I really like Lion Brand Vanna's Choice because it glides easily through my fingers and is soft, and inexpensive. But when I use a pattern, I always buy the recommended yarn in the pattern, as I...

I have discovered that if I use the yarn that is recommended on the pattern, I am usually pleased with the result. If I don't use the recommended yarn, I usually am displeased. Most often, if I am...

I love to crochet because I love to be creative. I love the feeling of working with yarn. I am older so it is good for my hands, mind, and it requires patience. Sometimes if I can't get a certain...

Yes, this was very helpful, Barbara - thank you! I thought I replied yesterday, but I don't see that it showed up. Hope this does.

Hi,
I am crocheting a throw that calls for tr2tog and tr3tog. I am not sure how to do this stitch. I know how to do sc2tog or sc3tog, but not tr2tog or tr3tog. Can someone give me step by step...

Happy New Year Everyone!
Just wanted to tel you that I received My Deluxe Double 2 days ago. I adjusted it to my own measurements and already have tried 2 sweaters on it that I am making. I...

That is a good idea - I make sooo many hats and they each come out differently becasue I have so many different yarns. With a child's head form, it would make it so much more easier. Luckily, the...

Well, I purchased the "My Double Deluxe" from ebay on Christmas. It was by far the best price I could find and shipping was very reasonable. I am anxious to get it. I hope it helps with sizing - I...

Thank you, Barbara. I am checking these out. I didn't know you could make your own. Thanks for the quick reply. Happy Holidays!

Hi everyone,
I am thinking of purchasing an adjustable dressmaker form to help with sizing on my crocheted tops and sweaters. I would like to hear from someone who uses one and get some advice on...

Thanks, Patti, I do like to make hats for all my grandchildren and other relatives!

Thanks for the ideas! I was just wondering if the yarn had to be equal because all I ever hear about is to make granny squares from left over yarn, and my experience has shown me that all the yarn...

Hi,
I am Katia from PA. I have taught myself to crochet in the past 5 years. This year has finally opened up to me and I have done several sweaters and handbags. I have persevered and it has paid...
