QUESTION:
RE: Need Help With Picture Afghan
I would like to crochet a picture afghan that will look the same on both sides. What is the best method for changing colors to accomplish this? Thank you for your help.
-- Rita McMullen
ANSWER:
You can carry colors along the top of the stitches as you crochet, working over the unused color. The pattern will still be a mirrored image though.

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 ~~
Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried; yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him.
Isaiah 53:4-6
This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends, if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask of the Father in My name, He may give to you. This I command you, that you love one another.
John 15:12-17
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
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
"CHRIST'S SACRIFICE WAS WHAT GOD
DESIRED AND OUR SIN REQUIRED."
This quote is from Our Daily Bread - April, 2012 Issue
Check out the E-votions blog:
Be careful the environment you choose, for it will
shape you; be careful the friends you choose, for
you will become like them. - W. Clement Stone

where two or three have gathered

in their midst."

RE: How to Crochet : Reverse Half Double Crochet

Very helpful! Thank you! The other video I found was poorly lit and she was using a pattern that called for 3 strands of yarn so it was a bit hard to see. Thanks for clearly demonstrating!!! :)

RE: Question about crochet pattern - Baby's ABC's afghan
A friend at work showed me this pattern and it looks simple enough for a novice crochet-er to manage. I do have a question though. The pattern calls for 5 skeins of caron simply soft, white. It does not specify if this is the 3oz or 6 oz skeins. Which do you use?
Thanks, Shawn
<< reply >>
I have never made this afghan using Simply Soft yarn so
I’m not sure which size skeins they intended.
This may help you decide.
According to this page:
http://www.caron.com/color_cards/cc_simplysoft.html
this yarn is a Size 4.
I use Bernat Baby Coordinates which is a Size 3 yarn:
http://www.bernat.com/product.php?LGC=babycoordinates
with a size G hook because I love the look of that particular yarn
and the size G hook makes the afghan a good size.
The two pages above list information on yardage which may help you
decide how much to purchase.
I always buy 5 or 6 skeins (5.6 ounce) of the Bernat Baby Coordinates
just to be sure I have enough. Beware! Bernat has resized their yarn
skeins so there is less per skein and the price went up where we live also.
I weighed the last afghan I made and it weighed 1lb 5-3/8 ounces
(so that one took 22 ounces to make using Bernat Baby Coordinates).
You can never be too careful and it’s best to take into account that skeins of
yarn can have problems in the center. Also, any yarn left over can
be used for other baby items to go with the afghan.

RE: Post on the Crochetnmore Fan Page
Hi Lisa, I have a quick question. I was on your website and saw the In the Round Placemat, on the instructions it says at the end of Row 25 to slip stitch to join in marked stitch, but I don't see where it says which stitch to mark. Is it just the first stitch of this round? Thanks for your great patterns & help.

Hi there
Thanks for your very helpful website. I am trying to crochet for the first time and having difficulty understanding the pattern.
It says 2ch, 3 tr
Does that mean triple treble crochet or 3 seprate treble crochets. If it was 3 seperate wold I do 3 chain stitches for each one – as you can see I am confused. I have mastered the basic techniques but don;t know how to read the pattern!
Many thanks for your help.
Katharine Jackson
<< reply >>
That means 3 separate treble crochet stitches.
You do not chain before each one... just work the stitches.
RE: Post on the Crochetnmore Fan Page
What is your earliest memory of you crocheting?
My earliest memory was watching my Aunt Brenda making an afghan at my Great Grandmother's house at Christmas. Watching her crochet intrigued me so much that I asked her to show me how. I remember she ran out of yarn but let me take out a couple of rows and re-crochet them. I did that more than once that night.
When my sister and I were younger Mom and Dad would take us to the store and tell us we could have one thing. I would ask for two things because I needed a hook and yarn.
Lisa
Comments:
I grew up watching my Grandma crochet. I never had any desire to learn until I was much older. I am left handed and it was always an obstacle. My Grandma bought me a left handed crochet book about 20 years ago and I started trying to dec...ipher it! Got part of a doily done and gave up. Too many kids and too much other stuff going on to keep my interest. Didn't pick it up until 4 years ago and have not quit since! I keep challenging myself with new stitches and more advanced projects all the time. I take it with me where ever I go :)
Judy Glendy-Webb

My Grandma taught me to make chains when I was three...mostly to keep me occupied I think...but I have literally crocheted ever since...had a fifth grade teacher who taught everyone (boys too) in our class to make a doily and of course my pattern just had to be the toughest. Square with Pinapples in the corners and huge ruffle around the edge. Still have it...and thats been a heck of a lot of years.

I taught our daughter to crochet when she was 4 years old and to knit when she was 5 years old. If they can hold the hook or needles they can learn.

I taught myself how to crochet whilst I was expecting my first child. That was 31 years ago, I really wanted a baby blanket made of granny squares and could not buy one anywhere, so I made my own. I still own it, and now my son and partner are expecting their first child, it will be passed on to them. Best thing I ever did, I love to crochet and will not stop until I have to.

My granny teaching me to make a square, she used to make beautiful 3d ornamental swans, really pretty and delicate. Well my 'square' came out shaped as a duck lol! I walked round looking smug for days thinking it took her years to have the skill to make these swans and I can make a duck on my first go lol. Think I was about 5 lol! And no I still can't make the swans at 45.

My first memory of anyone crocheting was my great grandmother back in 1944 or 45. My mom started crocheting in the late 40's early 50's and that's when she taught me to crochet. My first "project" was to hook a rag rug.

By myself. Just me & a book. I was 13. I made a hat & some sandals. 7 years later I asked a lady to teach me how to make granny squares.

Comments:
It won't load on my phone all the way so how do you do a front post double crochet?
Jennifer Cathleen Caleb
The basics page is pretty big... that's probably why. Here's how:
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 loops on hook);
yo and draw through two lps (2 loops on hook);
yo and draw through two loops (1 loop on hook)

Re: granny square
HI
I can't figure out something on your block O granny square.
My question is how do you do the change in colors? Do you break off or what?
Thanks

<< reply >>
I never break the yarn in this pattern.. I carry it along as I go.
This is the Row Count Purple Heart Coaster pattern:

is made the same way as the O square. The videos show how I change colors and what happens
to the unused color as you go along.

RE: Coaster Tray
No problems. But I do have question. Where can I find the 1 1/4 oz yarn? I've looked and only thing I've found the 6 oz yarn
David
<< reply >>
You will need to purchase the 6 ounce skein.
1-1/4 ounces is the amount needed to make the Coaster Tray.
Re: Help with Crochet Problem
I am working on a crochet project and have made strips that I will now be sewing together. But I have a huge problem... working on a project when I am tired, bad idea. One of the strips was too long, and instead of thinking it's not just pulling out freely, I kept taking the end apart until I got to the end of the row and realized I had taken the beginning chain and first row of double crochet out, instead of the last row. Now I have all these little loops at the end and I can't figure out how to fix it - can I? If not I guess I will have to redo the entire 6 foot strip.
Anxiously awaiting your answer.
Sandy McShea
<< reply >>
Hopefully your strip worked vertically and not horizontally so you
don’t have a ton of loops to secure.
You should be able to pick up the loops along that edge and
work slip stitches into them to get a secured edge again.
Check how many stitches are along the row and pick up loops
accordingly to be sure you make the same number of slip stitches
as you have stitches.

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
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Adam bit the apple and, feeling great shame, covered himself with a fig leaf.
Eve, too, felt shame and covered herself with a fig leaf. Then she went behind the bush to try on a maple leaf, a sycamore, and an oak.
A client brought a litter of Golden Retriever puppies to my veterinary clinic for inoculations and worming.
As the look-alike pups squirmed over and under one another in their box, I realized it would be difficult to tell the treated ones from the rest. I turned on the water faucet, wet my fingers and moistened each dog's head when I finished. After the fourth puppy, I noticed my hitherto talkative client had grown silent.
As I sprinkled the last pup's head, the
woman leaned forward and whispered,
"I didn't know they had to be baptized."
My mother was away all weekend at a business conference. During a break, she decided to call home collect. My six-year-old brother picked up the phone and heard a stranger's voice say, "We have a Betty on the line. Will you accept the charges?"
Frantic, he dropped the receiver and came charging outside screaming,
"Dad! They've got Mom! And they want money!"
A pastor was giving a lesson to a group of children on the 23rd Psalm. He noticed that one of the little boys seemed disquieted by the phrase "Surely, goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life..."
"What's wrong with that, Johnny?" the pastor asked.
"Well," answered Johnny, "I understand about having goodness
and mercy, for God is good. But I'm not sure I'd like
Shirley following me around all the time."
In the frozen foods department of our local grocery store, I noticed a man shopping with his son.
As I walked by, he checked something off his list, and I heard him whisper conspiratorially to the child; "You know, if we really mess this up, we'll never have to do it again."
A teacher was taking her first golf lesson.
"Is the word spelled 'put' or 'putt'?" she asked the instructor.
"'Putt' is correct," he replied. "'Put' means to place a thing where you want it.
'Putt' means a vain attempt to do the same thing."
A Swiss man, looking for directions, pulls up
at a bus stop where two Americans are waiting.
"Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?"
he asks.
The two Americans just stare at him.
"Excusez-moi, parlez vous Fracais?" he tries.
The two continue to stare.
"Parlare Italiano?"
No response.
"Hablan ustedes Espanol?"
Still nothing.
The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted.
The first American turns to the second and says, "Y'know, maybe we should learn a foreign language."
"Why?" says the other. "That guy knew four languages,
and it didn't do him any good."
As she watched me struggle to pop the childproof
cap off a bottle of medicine, my eight-year-old
daughter asked, "Why do they even have childproof
caps? They know kids hate medicine."
I took my four-year-old son, Josh, out to McDonald's for dinner one evening for a "guys' night out."
As we were eating our hamburgers, Josh asked, "Daddy, what are these little things on the hamburger buns?"
I explained that they were tiny seeds and that they were OK to eat.
He was quiet for a couple of minutes and I could tell he was in deep thought.
Finally, Josh looked up and said, "Dad, if we go home and plant these seeds in our backyard, we will have enough hamburgers to last forever."
Heckling in the courtroom had constantly interrupted the trial, and the judge had had enough.
“The next person who interrupts this proceeding will be thrown out of my court!” he said severely, at which the defendant yelled, “Hooray!”
A mother and her young son returned from the grocery store and began putting away the groceries.
The boy opened the box of animal crackers and spread them all over the table.
"What are you doing," his mother asked?
"The box says you can't eat them if the seal is broken," the boy explained. "I'm looking for the seal."
A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor thy father and thy mother," she asked, "is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"
Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family of seven) answered, "Thou shall not kill!"
