You're so welcome, Bettybee. I'm frantically trying to finish the one I'm working on for my daughter. It's looking really cute, stripes of torquoise, narrow white, hot pink, narrow white, and bright...

Here is a great afghan pattern that I'm making right now. It is composed of only chains and single crochet, and turns out really nice. It's a nice, heavy pattern, without holes, so is really nice for...

Here is a link to a very easy baby sweater that I've made several times. It is made by just crocheting rectangles, and joining them together, but turns out really cute and is super simple to do. You...

This is my opinion only, and others may encourage you to keep on with it...but I say, start over and find a pattern that is easier for you to interpret. When I started crocheting again after years of...

Welcome, and don't be shy. This is a very friendly group of people. And, we can't reach out and "getcha" through the computer screen.:D

Here is another opinion, which I have researched pretty carefully. It seems to be something of an "old wives tale" that you cannot use acrylic yarn to make potholders, because it will melt. Not true....

Sorry, but that is funny. To me, lol. I did something dumb when I was sewing a fancy dress for a granddaughter. It had big, puffed set in sleeves. It is a real pain to adjust the gathers, pin it all...

Yep - I brake for yarn!

SaraJean, here is a link to a very helpful article about how to read a crochet pattern:

My suggestion for yarn that has a "musty" or "old" smell would be to just wash the completed project and use a nice smelling liquid fabric softener. Makes it nice and soft, too.

Five, altogether. He had three and I had one when we married 48 years ago. When I was in my early 30's and hubby was 50, we had our baby girl together, making five. She is the mother of the 7...

It's a way to start a project instead of chaining and slip stitching to make a ring. Usually it's used to start something circular, like a hat. It's hard to explain in words. If you google it, you...

I'm so sorry to hear this, Butterfly. You are in my thoughts.

You're welcome. Good luck on your search. The internet is so huge, I'll bet you can find it!

Found this on another forum I go to. It just made my day!

I usually get the blue ribbon in contests like this, lol. We have 18 grandchildren, and 4 great grandkids. And our youngest daughter is expecting her 8th child in late March! Here are the 7 she has...

It is so hard to be aware of the problems our adult children have, knowing that it is not our decision to make, but theirs. I have been there many times and feel for you.

That said, I personally...

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a...

So this lady was driving down the highway crocheting as she drove. A highway patrolman noticed her and began pursuit. He drove up next to her car, rolled down his window and said,"pull over!" She...

Good to hear from you Dinah. Yes, it's hard to crochet with two hands on the keyboard. Glad you're finishing up your projects!

The item itself was not too unusual, a lacy, thread book mark with a flower on the end. What was unusual was that my hubby requested it. I had made one for my daughter-in-law, and when he saw it, he...

I have to go with Peanuts, also. Charlie Brown is my all time hero, and everyone has known someone bossy like Lucy! And of course, Snoopy is always hilarious!

Call me lazy, or a chicken, or.... but I don't like to do difficult things at this stage of my life. I like single crochet and double crochet. I've found many, many great items that I can make using...

Welcome Nettielou,

My name is also Annette, and people call me that. Glad to meet you!
