WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
"Wherever there is a human being, there is an
opportunity for kindness."
~~ Seneca ~~
"For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single cubit to his life's span? And why are you anxious about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory did not clothe himself like one of these. But if God so arrays the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more do so for you, O men of little faith? Do not be anxious then, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'With what shall we clothe ourselves?' For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Matthew 6:25-34
Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house is increased; for when he dies he will carry nothing away; his glory will not descend after him.
Psalm 49:16-17
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break and or steal; for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Matthew 6:19-21
And someone in the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me." But He said to him, "Man, who appointed Me a judge or arbiter over you?" And He said to them, "Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions." And He told them a parable, saying, "The land of a certain rich man was very productive. And he began reasoning to himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?' "And he said, 'This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry." But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?' "So is the man who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
Luke 12:13-21

GIVES WHAT HE CANNOT KEEP
TO GAIN WHAT HE CANNOT LOSE

RE: A Question
OK. Now wanted to ask you a question. I saw a hat called the "Skally" hat, do you know anything about it and if there is a pattern for it, where can we get it? My grandson is a big crocheter now and is making hats for all and asked me if I had the pattern, which I dont. I have looked everywhere I have any access and no luck. so decided to ask you if you even heard of it. I think it is an English hat for boys over there. It is pretty unique and would appreciate any info you may be able to come up with. It is different !!!
Still get your newsletter and copy many of the patterns and do so much appreciate what you do for all us crocheters out here. Many of us just cant afford buying patterns and so are in luck to find so many good ones on your site.
Thank you again for all you do. We really do appreciate it.
Sincerely, Gerry D
<< reply >>
A Scally hat is similar to the Newsboy Hat.
You can find several Newsboy patterns linked here:

and another on this page:

RE: Alphabet Granny Squares
I am looking for a pattern to do raised/popcorn letters or letters in a flat, different colour, on separate granny squares and not on an entire ABC blanket.
I want to write the words “Bianca” and “Why do I dream and fly high in my own sky?” in blocks of 15 stitches square using a size 3.5 hook. So I need the letters
A, B, C, D, E, G, F, G, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, S and Y.
Are you perhaps able to help please?
Spangly regards from a windy Cape Town
Tanya
<< reply >>
I designed a series of coaster patterns with all of the alphabet and numbers
for this purpose. They are all listed on this page:
http://crochetnmore.com/coasters&doilies.htm
While these are not “granny squares” each is 15 stitches wide not including the border.
I designed these using a size G hook and worsted weight yarn but you can use a smaller
hook and yarn to get a smaller version.
RE: crochet pattern question
I received a email with a pattern for a toilet tissue cover of yours. I was wondering if you by any chance have the pattern for the Santa face that is a toilet tissue cover? I have been searching and just cannot find it. I have a cover and a friend wants one. I am trying to figure it out by looking at it, but not having a lot of luck.
Thank you for your help.

Walli Osborn Martinez
Love your pattern, but was disappointed that it was much to small for my adult head. I didn't use the Homespun, which may have stretched more than my Caron Simply Soft! Any suggestions on sizing??
bjneafsey
<< reply >>
Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know you made this pattern.
Simply Soft is a much thinner yarn... that's why the size was small.
I made that hat for a lady who was going through cancer treatments
and losing her hair... and in the rush to send it to her I failed to
note the gauge.
However, this page lists the gauge for Homespun as
Crochet: 10 sc and 10 rows = 4" (10cm) with size K-10.5 (6.5mm) hook
http://www.lionbrand.com/yarns/homespun.htm
You can also increase your hook size to achieve a larger hat.
If your hat was really small... try using two strands together of the Simply
Soft. Since it is a thinner yarn I think that would work okay. Make a swatch
using a larger hook with two strands and compare the gauge you get
to that of the hat you made. That should help you determine if the
two strands worked together will give you the size you need.
Other than the size you ended up with... did the pattern work up well for you?
Is Simply Soft is a yarn you use often?
I will be glad to add a hat pattern using Simply Soft to my list of design ideas.
<< Brenda's Reply >>
Thanks for the nice reply.
The pattern worked fine, I will donate to a charity.
For myself, I think using a larger needle will work good,
I purchased some Home Spun today and want to give it
a try as it streches more than the Simply Soft.
Thanks for all your suggestions.
I did enjoy using the Simply Soft yarn...
will use it again.

RE: Post on the Crochetnmore Fan Page
I downloaded your Magnolia blossom pattern. I have no idea ,however, what the stitch "esc" might be. It is a single crochet, but what is the "e" part??? Help! I am anxious to make this beautiful pattern. Thank you!
Mary Musgrave
Comment:
Esc is an Extended Single Crochet. Insert hook in next ch, yo, draw a loop through (2 loops on hook), yo, draw through one lp on the hook (2 loops still on hook), yo, draw through both loops on the hook. Here's a video:
Hope you enjoy the pattern!
I have found your Easter Basket pattern on line and I like what I see but I am curious what is a love knot? I have never heard of that stitch and would like to know how it is done.
Thank you
Connie

Love Knot Directions:
Chain 1 loosely, single crochet in the hump on the back of the chain.

RE: Post on the Crochetnmore Fan Page
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do if your hand is hurting too bad to crochet? I'm not sure if I've crocheted too much or it's the new job I started back in December. I need to get 3 blankets done by yesterday and more done today(lol). Anything will be helpful, Thanks so much.

"Hi, a friend of mine is going to make his first doily using crochet thread and we have a question i'm hoping somebody can answer for us. When you crochet with this thread, should you wind it into a ball or just leave it on the spool it comes on? Thanks for any help. :-)"
Sylvia L. Vasquez-Ellis
Comments:
I crochet directly from the spool.

Thank you so much. :-) I also noticed on your website, for your doily patterns you sometimes call for "bedspread" thread, is that just pretty much the same thread you can buy at Walmart?

You're welcome. Yes... I buy the #10 bedspread weight cotton at Walmart.

Crochet Tip:
Not all crochet hooks are created equal.
Actual hook sizes may vary a little between brands.
Comments:
Good to know.. I did not know that!
Michele Stuurmans Shekey

THEY SURE DO
Lori Corby-Brown
---
Yep, always check MM size too. not just letter size, companies vary greatly.
Kath Baer
---
I have a set of steel hooks and I have my grandmas set of steel hooks and they are off by a complete size. Hers are larger than mine and if i check them for gauge off a knitting needle sizer they are correct. its crazy
Lori Corby-Brown
---
It depends on the company/brand... each have their own guidelines on sizing. You can crochet using one brand of hook and then make the same pattern using another brand and end up with two totally different sizes. It pays to check gauge when a pattern calls for it.
Crochetnmore

Found out the hard way.
Walli Osborn Martinez
RE: Post on the Crochetnmore Fan Page
Crochet Tip:
When patterns require numerous chains... make a few extra just in case... you can back them out if not needed.
Comment:
Tip: when working with numerous chains. . .use 2 skeins of yarn; begin chain one; attach 2'nd skein in 1st chain to work pattern. When you need more chains, add them with the 1st skein; if you have to many, pull out. Just finish off 1st strand when you have your first row done. That way your count is ALWAYS right and puts an end to the frustration of getting the beginning chain count right.

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.
I have to tell you about this new book.
SweaterBabe.com's Fabulous & Flirty Crochet
I'm so happy to have it in my crochet library.Katherine Lee has an eye for style and a definite knack for creating
beautiful crochet patterns.
I was really happy with the large colorful project photos.
There's something for everyone!
The aspect of Fabulous and Flirty Crochet that stood out to me was
the section on the yarns
used in the patterns. One page shows "actual size" photos
of the yarns which makes it super
easy to substitute other yarns if you want to. For those who stay
strictly to the recommended
yarn in a pattern Katherine has included a yarn resource list. The
projects are very fashionable
and perfect for gift giving... though I'm sure you'll have to make
something for yourself :o)
I can't wait to try the Flirty Skirt and the Ruffled Strap Tank.

"Laughter is an instant vacation." - Milton Berle
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
An 11-year-old boy was doing his violin practice at home and the torturous noise was making the dog howl.
Upstairs the boy's father was trying to work on the computer. After putting up with the combined racket of the violin and the dog's wailing for 20 minutes, the father eventually called out, "Jason, can't you play something the dog doesn't know?"
A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, he said: "Now, students, if I stood on my head the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I should turn red in the face."
"Yes, sir," the boys said.
"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?"
A little fellow shouted, "'It's because your feet ain't empty."
Mother asks little Johnny, as they wait for the bus,
to tell the driver he is 4 years old when asked because he will ride for free.
As they get into the bus the driver asks
Johnny how old he is. "I am 4 years old."
"And when will you be six years old?" asks the driver.
"When I get off the bus," answers Johnny.
A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started to discuss the dog's duties.
"They use him to keep crowds back," said one youngster.
"No," said another, "he's just for good luck."
"I know!" said a third..."They use it to find the fire hydrant!"
A father in a hurry, taking his 8-year-old son to school, makes a turn at a red light where it isn't allowed.
"Uh oh, I just made an illegal turn!" the man says.
"That's okay, Dad," the son says. "The police car right behind us did the same thing."
Three friends from the local congregation were asked, "When
you're in your casket and friends and congregation members
are mourning over you, what would you like them to say?"
Artie said, "I would like them to say I was a wonderful
husband, a fine spiritual leader, and a great family man."
Gene replied, "I would like them to say I was a wonderful
teacher and servant of God who made a huge difference in
people's lives."
Don answered, "I'd like them to say, 'Look! He's moving!'"
My family is practical. At day care, my four-year-old watched as a teacher pulled something hot from the oven.
"What's that on your hand?" he asked.
"An oven mitt," she said. "It keeps me from getting burned. Doesn't your mother use them?"
"No, my mom's just really careful when she opens the pizza box."
My mom is a less than fastidious housekeeper.
One evening my dad returned home from work,
walked into the kitchen and teased her, "You know, dear,
I can write my name in the dust on the mantel."
Mom turned to him and sweetly replied, "Yes, darling, I know.
That's why I married a college graduate."
The minister's little six-year-old boy had been such a terror an naughty
all the previous week, that his mother decided to punish him by not
allowing the boy to attend the up-coming School Picnic.
Then, as the day approached, the monther feelng she had been a bit too
harsh, relented and changed her mind.
She told the little boy he could go to the picnic, but was surprised at
the child's reaction, which was one of unexpected gloom and unhappiness.

"What are you doing?" he yelled after a quick glance at the meter. "There's plenty of time left!"
