"How will you spend eternity -- Smoking or Non-smoking?"
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4
Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.
1 Chronicles 4:10
These things Jesus spoke; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify Thy Son, that the Son may glorify Thee, even as Thou gavest Him authority over all mankind, that to all whom Thou hast given Him, He may give eternal life. And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent. I glorified Thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which Thou hast given Me to do. And now, glorify Thou Me together with Thyself, Father with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was."
John 17:1-5
"GOD SPEAKS TO THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO HEAR HIM."

BASKETWEAVE STITCH
The BasketWeave Stitch is comprised of front post double crochet and back post double crochet stitches.
Post stitches are regular
stitches worked around the post of the indicated stitch. A post? When you do
a double crochet it looks like a little fence post. When a pattern calls for
you to work a stitch around the post you insert your hook around the stitch
instead of through it. If the pattern calls for a front post stitch you insert
your hook from front of the piece around the post of the stitch. If it calls
for a back post stitch you insert your hook from the back around the post of
the stitch. The most common post stitches are the front and back post double
crochet stitches:
FRONT POST DOUBLE CROCHET (FPDC)
Yarn over, insert hook from
the front side of the work right to left
around the post of the indicated stitch on a previous row;
yo and pull up a loop (3 lps on hk)
yo and draw through two lps (2 lps on hk)
yo and draw through two lps (1 lp on hk)
BACK POST DOUBLE CROCHET (BPDC)
Yarn over, insert hook from
the back side of the work right to left
around the post of the indicated stitch on a previous row;
yo and pull up a loop (3 lps on hk)
yo and draw through two lps (2 lps on hk)
yo and draw through two lps (1 lp on hk)

Novelty yarns such as fun fur, eyelash
and boa are very pretty bur pretty difficult to work with...
and they are expensive! In my opinion, these are best
suited for very small projects or edgings.

First, let me thank you for sharing your pattern for Support Our Troops Ribbon. I am an old veteran of the Korean War and consider my service in the Women's Air Force as one of the most important and memorable times of my life. I have encouraged my church to send Valentines, Christmas cards, and thank you cards on Veterans' Day to the VA Hospital here in Virginia. I really appreciate your thought to create and design the Ribbon, but I need a little help, please. I did not learn to crochet until two years ago at the age of 70, and you probably know how hard it is to teach an old dog new tricks. I d not understand the love knot stictch referred to as 'edging.' If you could kindly explain further, I would be most grateful. At WalMart, I found a card of inspirational tack pins of praying hands, angel, cross, and dove for $3.74. Thank you again for your acknowledgement of our troops. Frances
< reply >
You're very welcome Frances. Life must have been exciting in the Women's Air Force! It's great that you send cards and such to the Veterans. My husband is a US Army Veteran. He served his time and was classified as being on "inactive duty" when Uncle Sam called him to Desert Storm. As for the pattern... the love knot is quite simple. You chain 1 loosely and then work a single crochet in the hump that's on the back of that chain. Each chain looks like a little heart on the front and when you flip it over it has a little "hump" on the back side. You will be working love knots and singles around the entire ribbon.
I made the sweater for a silky terrier I baby-sit except I added 8 more rows down his back to his tail .This way it covers were kidney are and warmer too. Doris

your patterns, they are simple and nice.

Thank you very much for all the lovely patterns you continue to mail. I have tried so many of them and find it very easy to understand. Keep up the good work you do. God Bless You. Jeanne.
HI. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing the cozy pattern. It works wonderful! Most are for cotton and I am not good at working with that makes me blind. LOLOL Yours is easy and great. Have a great evening. Kellie

The Simple Can Cozy calls for cotton yarn but you should be able to substitute acrylic yarn with no problem.
Hi Lisa,
As a little girl my grandma taught me how to crochet, however I never learned
how to read patterns. Now as a grown up I am starting to crochet again and although
I have the ability I do not know how to read the patterns. I have been in your
site and it has been great because I have learned a lot. However I am trying
to make a hat and I got stuck in the instructions of round 4. I have been in
crochet pages but I cannot understand the highlighted part. I would really appreciate
if you could explain it.
Rnd 4:Sl st in next ch-1 sp,Beg V-st in same sp,(dc in sp between next 2 st)2 times.*V-st in next ch-1 sp,(dc in sp between next 2 st)two times.Rep from * around.Join(40 dc).
Thanks for any help! Ana.
<< reply >>
Dear Ana:
Round 4
Slip stitch in the next space where you chained 1 on the previous round.
Work a beginning V-stitch (this should be included in your pattern) in the same
space.
Double crochet in the space between the next two stitches (in other words, work
in between the actual stitches)
Double crochet in the space between the next two stitches (in other words, work
in between the actual stitches)
*
Work a V-stitch in the next space where you chained 1.
Double crochet in the space between the next two stitches (in other words, work
in between the actual stitches)
Double crochet in the space between the next two stitches (in other words, work
in between the actual stitches)
Now repeat from the asterisk around.
Join and you should have 40 double crochet stitches on that round.
Hope this helps.

The professor of a graduate-school class of gifted students included a HUGE amount of material on the midterm exam. Tension in the room built, people were sighing and gasping aloud as they realized how much material they had covered and were expected to recall. The following week, the professor tossed the graded papers on her desk and announced, "Class, after I left here last week, the Lord spoke to me. He said, 'Thanks, professor. I haven't heard from some of those people in years.'"
Linda and Jill were chatting over coffee. Said Linda, "I've been experiencing a strange and painful side effect from coffee. I'm fine when I drink it black, but if I use cream, or sugar, or both, I get a stabbing pain in one eye." Linda took a sip of her coffee. "Oww!" she cried. "There it goes again!" Said Jill, "Take the spoon out of the cup."
Our co-worker went missing for a few hours, and we tore up the place looking for him. The boss finally found him fast asleep. Rather than wake him, he quietly pinned to the man's shirt a note saying, "As long as you're asleep, you still have a job. But as soon as you wake, you're fired!"
The young man from Alabama came running into the store and said to his buddy, "Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!" Bubba replied, "Did you see who it was?" The young man answered, "I couldn't tell, but I got the license number."
A good piece of chocolate has about 200 calories. As I enjoy 2 servings per night, and a few more on weekends, I consume about 3,500 calories of chocolate in a week, which equals one pound of weight per week. Therefore, in the last 3-1/2 years, I have had chocolate caloric intake of about 180 pounds, and I only weigh 165 pounds. So... without chocolate, I would have wasted away to nothing about 3 months ago! I owe my life to chocolate!!
A man in his 40's bought a new BMW and was out on the interstate for a nice evening drive. The top was down, the breeze was blowing through what was left of his hair, and he decided to open her up. As the needle went over 120 km/h, he suddenly saw flashing red and blue lights behind him. "There's no way they can catch a BMW," he thought to himself and opened her up further. The needle hit 140, 160.... then the reality of the situation hit him. "What am I doing?" he thought and pulled over. The cop came up to him, took his license without a word, and examined it and the car. "It's been a long day, this is the end of my shift, and it's Friday. I don't feel like more paperwork, so if you can give me an excuse for your driving that I haven't heard before, you can go." The guy thinks for a second and says, "Last week my wife ran off with a cop. I was afraid you were trying to give her back." "Have a nice weekend," said the officer
One morning, I was called to pick up my son at the school nurse's office. When I walked through the main entrance, I noticed a woman, curlers in her hair, wearing pajamas. "Why are you dressed like that?" I asked her. "I told my son," she explained, "that if he ever did anything to embarrass me, I would embarrass him back. He was caught cutting school. So now I've come to spend the day with him!"
One day a goober went to a sea food restaurant and saw the tank where they kept the lobsters. She took pity on these creatures and hid them in her purse. Later she went to the woods to set the poor animals free.
