I have a chevron pattern from 1987 and it says to
dc between fourth and fifth hdc, 1 dc between next 2 hdc.
where would u insert the hook. around the post? that doesn't
look right. hope u can shed some light.
thanks barb
<< reply >>
I believe the designer wants you to work between the
actual posts of the stitches. Not into the top of the stitch
or around the post but directly into the space in between
the two stitches.

RE: How to Crochet - Dishcloth Tutorial
Comments:
Hi this is great, thanks for sharing.
My issue is the first row, the bottom does not
come out straight it comes out like the pattern
up and down. What could I be doing wrong? Ty
cocolinaaaa

The bottom edge is straight... just how the pattern worked out.
If you wanted you could add additional stitches to the foundation
chain to make it look similar.
Re: Your website!
I love the patterns on your site. I've been teaching myself to crochet slowly over the last three years or so, I just finished my second blanket :) but I've been struggling with hats, until I searched for a baby hat pattern on Pinterest. My coworker is having a boy in a few months, and all the ones I found were extremely girly, until the "Puffs All Over Baby Hat" from your site showed up, and I had such immediate success with your way of explaining things that I've almost finished the hat for my friend and have two more planned out! Thank you for sharing your crafty know-how with the world :)

I'm following a crochet pattern. I'm assuming that Rnd means to go around the circle but they go by number of rnd on this pattern. I'm a little confused about the dc:
With red, ch 6; join with sl st to form a ring.
I just did all of the above up to the 23 dc in ring. I'm assuming all of this means I'm continuing to go around the ring but the 24 dc is what throws me. Does this mean I'm doing 24 more dc's? What does it mean when it tells me to go to beginning Ch?
Help is much appreciated!
- Sarah Mohler
<< Reply >>
You are correct.... Rnd is round.
With red, make 6 chains and join with a slip stitch in the first chain
to form a ring. Then for round 1 which will be the right side of the project you
chain 3, which will count as one double crochet on this round and
on each round throughout the pattern. Work 23 double crochets
in the ring.
You assumed correctly... up to this point you should have a small circle.
With the chain 3 at the beginning (referred to as the beginning ch3)
plus the 23 double crochet stitches you have a total of 24 double crochet
stitches for Round 1. Join with a slip stitch in the top of that beginning chain 3.
The instruction that says (24dc) means you will have a total of 24
double crochet stitches when this round is finished.

I like mine too. the only issue is it lets the smaller hooks,(D and smaller)
spin around. You have to anchor it with your index finger.
Great for arthritic fingers.

I am not sure I am writing to the right place.......one time I found a fellow named Mikey
and he showed how to crochet a ruffle scarf. Now I can't find his site anymore.
Do you have any ideas for me? (I am responding from an old email from you all)

This book
is a wonderful addition to any crochet library.
I've had numerous requests over the years of what to crochet for
boys.
Crobots are definitely the answer!
This 96-page book is filled with numerous types of Crobot patterns
as well as well-illustrated instructions for the
crochet stitches, assembly stitches and other embellishments used
in the patterns.
The patterns are well written, some of the book is written in a
small font but the pictures are wonderful. NOTE:
This book comes to you with a safety warning regarding the small
parts used in the patterns.
Therefore, please use your own discretion as to the age of the child
you intend the gift for.

"Laughter is an instant vacation." - Milton Berle
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Kathryn's 5-year-old developed a strong interest in spelling once she learned to spell STOP. After that, she tried to figure out her own words. From the back seat of the car she'd ask, "Mom, what does
FGRPL spell?"
"Nothing," Kathryn said.
Sitting at breakfast she'd suddenly ask, "Mom, what
does DOEB spell?"
"Nothing," Kathryn answered.
This went on for several weeks. Then one afternoon
as they sat coloring in her room she asked, "Mom,
what does LMDZ spell?"
Kathryn smiled at her and said, "Nothing, sweetheart."
The 5-year-old carefully set down her crayon, sighed
and said, "Boy, there sure are a lot of ways to spell
Nothing!"
One morning, when my son was about 3 years-old, he saw me putting on a pale green face-mask. (Something I rarely do.)
"What 'ou doin'?" he said.
"I'm putting on a face mask," I replied.
"What it for?" he asked.
"It's to make Mummy look more beautiful," I told him.
He stood looking at me in that considering way that
small children have, then said as gently as possible,
"Well...it doesn't."
Gen. George Armstrong Custer is buried on the
grounds of the United States Military Academy
at West Point. Since I was driving through the
area, I decided to pay my respects.
At the gate, the distracted young MP put down
her book, checked my ID and asked the purpose
of my visit. I explained that I was there to
visit General Custer.
As she picked up her book, she asked, “And is the general expecting you?”
The telephone solicitor selling basement waterproofing must have thought she'd died and gone to heaven when
she reached my very polite and patient son on the phone.
At the end of her long sales pitch, she asked, "Do you mind if we send out someone to give you an estimate?"
"Not at all," my son said.
"When would be a good time?" she asked.
My son answered, "Just as soon as I dig a basement."
I worked in the biology department at Buffalo State College
in New York. The Great Lakes Laboratory, also stationed at
the college, employed a licensed boat captain to man its
research vessel. It was common knowledge that the captain couldn't swim. When newcomers learned of this, they would
approach him about it.
"Is it true?" one of them asked incredulously. "You, a boat
captain, can't swim?"
"No, I can't," he replied. "Can pilots fly?"
My Parents had not been out together in quite some time. One Saturday, as Mom was finishing the dinner dishes, my father stepped up behind her.
"Would you like to go out, girl?" he asked.
Not even turning around, my mother quickly replied, "Oh, yes, I'd love to!"
They had a wonderful evening, and it wasn't until the end of it that Dad confessed. His question had actually been directed to the family dog, lying near Mom's feet on the kitchen floor.
As my husband and I moved some patio stones in the backyard, we unearthed a nest of ants.
Our youngest son, Timothy, was fascinated with the thousands of ants scurrying madly around.
After watching for a few minutes, he glanced up. "It looks just like recess."
Smoky, our family cat, had gotten injured and needed to stay at the vet clinic for several days. Our three
children were so concerned that several times a day, my wife and I had to reassure them that Smoky was safe and being cared for by the "animal doctor."
Finally, we got the call that Smoky was ready to come home.
Driving to the vet's, it became clear that our four-year-old son, Ryan, had been doing a lot of thinking about Smoky's absence when he asked, "Mom, what kind of animal is the doctor?"
A former Marine sergeant took a new job as a school teacher; but just before the school year started he injured his back. He was required to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. Fortunately, the cast fit under his shirt and wasn't noticeable.
On the first day of class, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in the school. The smart-alecky punks, having already heard the new teacher was a former Marine, were leery of him. They decided to see how tough he really was, before trying any pranks.
Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, the new teacher opened the window wide and sat down at his desk. When a strong breeze made the teacher's tie flap, he picked up a stapler and promptly stapled the tie to his chest.
He had no trouble with discipline that year.
One man was talking to another at the store.
He asked, "So where is That boy of yours?"
"Josh is in college," the second man replied.
"What's he taking?"
The second man grimaced,. "Every cent I have."
While in the checkout line at my local hardware store I overheard one man say to another, "My wife has been after me to paint our shed. But I let it go for so long she got mad and did it herself."
His friend nodded. "I like women who get mad like that."
“It was terrible”, moaned John upon entering the classroom a half hour late. “I left with plenty of time to arrive at school on time, but it was so slippery that every step I took, I slipped two steps back.”
“Well,” said the teacher, with a suspicious look on his face, “how in the world did you get here at all?”
“Well”, said the quick thinking student, “finally
after twenty minutes I gave up and started heading
home!”
