QUESTION
Subject: Popcorn motif and how to join
I was watching a tutorial on a popcorn motif and how to join as you go and I must have hit something and lost it. I went back thru your publication, but have not found it yet. It may have been with the ABC pattern, but I am not sure. Would really love to make this afghan for my granddaughter.
Thank you so much for your newsletter, and God Bless You.

ANSWER
Hi Fran:
Here's a link to the Crochet N More YouTube Channel:
https://www.youtube.com/user/crochetnmore
I have several video tutorials demonstrating various ways to join squares/motifs.
I don't recall doing one where popcorn stitches were involved though.
Hope this helps.

PLEASE check your web site! When I clicked on "Crystal Tears" I was sent to an adult porn site!

ANSWER
Thank you so much... it took me a few minutes to locate the link. I located it on this page:
http://www.crochetnmore.com/063001.htm
and have since deleted it.
That page was submitted previously by a user... after which the website that featured the page was no longer maintained.
Porn and gambling sites are notorious for buying previously maintained websites in order to get their traffic. Thanks to you... they will NOT be getting any more traffic from us.
I appreciate you taking the time to let me know!
People like you make Crochet N More a better place to visit!

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
"God proved His love on the Cross.
When Christ hung, and bled, and died,
it was God saying to the world, "I love you."
~~ Billy Graham ~~
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. And his appearance was like lightning, and his garment as white as snow; and the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. And the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come see the place where He was lying."
Matthew 28:1-6
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?
John 11:25
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, which He lavished upon us. In all wisdom and insight He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fulness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things upon the earth. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
Ephesians 1:7-12
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:8-10

When you begin a crochet project you can tell which side is the right side by noticing which end the beginning yarn tail is on.
If the yarn tail is on the left side of the project you are looking at the Right Side.
If the yarn tail is on the right side of the project you are looking at the Wrong Side.
Keep in mind... if you are left handed this will be the exact opposite.

Re: Hello
Dear Lisa,
I am having so much trouble understanding directions for an angel dishcloth by Bea....have you seen the pattern? I really have tried to make it twice....each time it did not come out right.
I am havinging trouble reading the pattern.
Can you help me understand this
*dc in each of next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st, in the ch-2 sp work (3dc, ch2, 3dc) increase in next st; repeat from star
What I don't understand is the brackets....do I inclede all of this in the repeat?
thanks!
Fran
<< Reply >>
Not sure if I have seen this pattern online.
I did a search but failed to find it.
I might be able to better assist you if you could send me the URL to the page.
For the instructions you noted... do this:
*
double crochet in each of the next 2 stitches
work 2 double crochets in the next stitch
Work 3 double crochets, two chains and 3 more double crochets all in the next chain 2 space (into the hole beneath the chains) not sure why the designer said “increase in next st” after the part in parentheses.
Now repeat all instructions from the star.

RE: How to Crochet - Tips about Baby's ABC's Afghan
<< Comments >>
So we should start with 142 chains in stead of 140 And Row border: 1st sc in 2nd of hook, then ps in next ch , end by sc Row 1: start with ps and following graph, end by ps And to crochet ps in beginning of the row, pls teach me how to do Can you pls confirm im understanding correctly? can i use popcorn stitch to replace puff stitch?
Joline Yap
<< Reply >>
In reply to Joline (for some reason I can't reply directly)... I chain 144 to begin the afghan when including the border as I go. This allows for two extra stitches on either side of the afghan. I work two rows before beginning the graph... The first is all single crochet.. the second alternates puff stitches like the horizontal divider rows. Traditional popcorn stitches will not work.

I must have pulled it out 10x by now & never end up with 38 posts, 30 or 31..does it matter...help....JV
Jack Verburg
<< Reply >>
The first row should end with 38 stitches. Yes, the number of stitches matters in order to achieve the pattern design.

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.

HUMOR

~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Laughter is an instant vacation." - Milton Berle
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Humor provides us with a valuable tool for
maintaining an inner strength in the midst
of outer turmoil. - Brian Deery
There was a gentleman in the hospital bed next to me. He was covered with bandages from head to toe. I said to him, "What do you do for a living?"
He said, "I'm a former window washer."
I asked, "When did you give it up?"
He replied, "Halfway down."
I noticed that my four-year-old daughter, Diana, had a large
bruise on her leg.
When I asked her how she got it, she replied, "It's not a bruise,
Mommy. It's a message."
When I asked again how it happened, she said, "Well, I was
jumping on the couch even though you told me not to, and I
fell off and hit the table. That's when I finally got the
message."
My four-year-old son Ashton loves the movie Toy Story 2,
particularly the space ranger hero, Buzz Lightyear.
Recently in Sunday school we were learning that God's
love has no limits.
At the end of class the teacher, reviewing the lesson,
asked, "So, how much does God love us?"
Quoting Buzz's big line in the film, Ashton replied,
"To infinity and beyond!"
Sarah and her thirteen-year-old sister had been fighting a lot this
year. This happens when you combine a headstrong two-year-old, who
is sure she is always right, with a young adolescent.
Sarah's parents, trying to take advantage of her newfound interest
in Santa Claus, reminded the two-year-old that Santa was watching
and doesn't like it when children fight. This had little impact.
"I'll just have to tell Santa about your misbehavior," the mother
said as she picked up the phone and dialed. Sarah's eyes grew big
as her mother asked "Mrs. Claus" (really Sarah's aunt; Santa's real
line was busy) if she could put Santa on the line. Sarah's mouth
dropped open as Mom described to Santa (Sarah's uncle) how the
two-year-old was acting. But, when Mom said that Santa wanted to
talk to her, she reluctantly took the phone.
Santa, in a deepened voice, explained to her how there would be no
presents Christmas morning to children who fought with their sisters.
He would be watching, and he expected things to be better from now
on.
Sarah, now even more wide eyed, solemnly nodded to each of Santa's
remarks and silently hung the phone up when he was done.
After a long moment, Mom (holding in her chuckles at being so clever)
asked, "What did Santa say to you, dear?"
In almost a whisper, Sarah sadly but matter-of-factly stated, "Santa
said he won't be bringing toys to my sister this year."
When I moved, I went to retrieve some boxes that I had
sent to myself in care of the local bus depot. And that
first time I walked into the bus depot, I found out what
small towns were like.
"Your boxes are over there," the clerk said.
"How do you know who I am?" I asked.
"We all know who you are," he replied.
Early in the summer, our three-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, was invited by our next-door neighbors to play with their four-year- old son, Charles in his new kiddie swimming pool. I put Elizabeth's bathing suit on her, and off she went. A few minutes later, she arrived at our doorstep without any clothes on. I was surprised to see her return so soon and asked her why she had taken off her bathing suit.
"It got wet!" Elizabeth replied.
HUSBAND: Honey, do you love me just because I inherited a fortune from my father?
WIFE: Of course not, darling! I would love you regardless of who left you the money.
My husband, a big-time sports fan, was watching a football game with our grandchildren. He had just turned 75 and was feeling a little wistful.
"You know," he said to our grandson, Nick, "it's not easy getting old. I guess I'm in the fourth quarter now."
"Don't worry, Grandpa," Nick said cheerily. "Maybe you'll go into overtime."
In the admitting office of our hospital, some patients
were filling out forms, others were being interviewed
and still others were being escorted to their rooms.
An elderly woman hesitantly entered my cubicle. She
had completed her admitting forms and, upon my request,
handed me her insurance cards.
I typed the necessary information and then asked her
the reason for her coming to the hospital.
"Just to visit a friend," she said, "but this had taken
so long, I'm not sure I have time now.”
While we were working at a men's clothing store, a customer
asked my coworker to help her pick out a tie that would make
her husband's blue eyes stand out.
"Ma'am," he explained, "any tie will make blue eyes stand
out if you tie it tight enough."
Working in a print shop, my coworker and I sometimes
forget how complex the equipment seems to clients.
She explained to one woman how to use a copier that
could enlarge, reduce, collate, change paper size and
adjust the lightness or darkness of copies.
"It's really so simple," my colleague concluded. "All
you have to do is tell it what you want, and it does
it."
The client's anxiety vanished. Leaning close to the
machine, she commanded, "Copy both sides, please!"
Dad: What do you boys want for dinner tonight?
Son, 8: Can we have McDonald's tonight?
Dad: Suuuure if you can spell that, then we'll have it.
Son (after thinking for a few seconds): Can we get KFC
then?
