SUGAR STIFFENER
You can find a sugar solution recipe on this page:
http://www.ehow.com/how_7630603_stiffen-fabric-sugar.html
I used the "sugar
water" recipe to stiffen two flower girl baskets for my sister in law's
wedding.
It worked great... however the solution is very HOT so be CAREFUL to
let it cool
enough before you try to put your hands in it - it could blister your
skin !

Re: Dog bandana pattern
What does sc in “hump” mean? Do you mean sc below the two loops?
Thank you,
Miila
<< Reply >>
Each chain has a top loop and a bottom loop on the front side
and on the back there is a little hump.
When you make the foundation chain (the chains made to begin your
project) the front side of the chain will look like little hearts sitting
on top of each other. When you flip the chain over to the back side
it looks like a little row of humps... work into those humps.
I specify to work in the "hump of the chain" in many of my patterns.
Take a look at this video:
for a visual demo of working into the “hump” of the chain.

Thanks Kay... I clicked it and got a 503 Error which can mean too many people are trying to access the page at once. Try it again later... I will too. If it doesn't work for me later I will remove the post.

Re: confusing instructions
I was wondering if you can help me interpret some instructions, specifically row 3, I have completed 1 and 2 already
Row 1: Working across 1 long edge of strip, join white with sc in first center corner of st, [sc in each st across to next joined corner st before seam, hdc in joined corner st, dc in seam, hdc in in next joined corner st after seam] across to the last block, sc in each st across ending in center corn st, turn (209 st)
Row 2: Working this row in back lps only, ch 1, sl st in each st across, turn
Row 3: Working in rem lps of row 1, ch 1, sc in first st, [sk next st, V-st in next st, sk next st, sc in next st] across, turn (53 sc, 52 V-sts)
My question specifically is the rem lps. I don’t have any remaining loops in row 1. Also, I don’t see that the counts work with the 53 sc and 52 V-sts when I have 209 stitches.
Grrrr

Row 2 is worked in the back loops only... the remaining loops are the front loops that are left unworked on that row. Therefore Row 3 is worked in those unworked loops... when you have 209 stitches total... then row 3 has 53 sc and 52 v-sts... that does work out to 209.
A v-st is comprised of a dc, one chain and another dc all in one stitch which is technically 3 stitches per v-stitch.
So... 52 v-sts x 3 = 156
Then add the 53 sc to that.. you have 209 sts.

Subject: Plate_Coaster
Hi I read your pattern on the plate coaster I was wondering if you would be able to write the pattern so I can use crochet thread cause I'm making coasters for mothers day
<< Reply >>
This pattern can be made using 4 ply cotton thread/yarn such as Peaches N Crème.
Making the same pattern using a thinner thread and smaller hook would make a cute coaster/doily.
Re: Skip 3 patterns
Good day,
I have a question. I am making a vintage crochet baby pattern sweater and in row 11 it say skip next 3 patterns for sleeve what does this mean. I found the pattern on purplekittyyarns.con it is the crochet baby set #201. Please help me
bshields
<< Reply >>
Normally a designer will refer to a set of instructions as working
“in pattern”.
The pattern you’re referring to does not.
http://www.freevintagecrochet.com/baby-patterns/doreen92/crochet-baby-set-pattern201
Since Row 11 is listed as the “Separation” row... I believe the designer wants you to skip 3 of the “ripples”
in the sweater to allow for the opening for the sleeve.
Re: ReadAPattern
I am trying to make baby botties. I have make the base and tied off.
Front: Mark 7 centermost stitches of Toe. With right side facing, join yarn into the st furthest to the right of the marked sets. Working in so sets worked to join the Soles. Continue as foils:
Row 1: ch 1, 2sc in base of ch-1, w sc in each of next 6 sets, sl st in each of next 2sl along the Sole, turn.
What really is confusing is Row 1, what does it mean "2sc in base of ch-1"?
<< Reply >>
Without seeing the pattern it is difficult for me to explain in great detail.
To mark the 7 centermost stitches... insert a stitch marker or a contrasting color piece of yarn into the first and last stitch of those 7 stitches. This will help you keep track of where to work later on.
To work 2sc in the base of ch-1... means you make 2 single crochet stitches in the stitch directly beneath the chain 1 you just made.

RE: How to Crochet - Two Strands Together
<< Comments >>
I would like to know how you prepare the yarn in order to begin. Do you have to unravel the whole thing first? Or is there an easier way?
Britney Smith
<< Reply >>
The easiest way is to work from two separate skeins of yarn. No preparation needed. If you only have one skein... just be patient and tame the skein as you work.
Re: Lacy_Dishcloth
Hello Lisa,
I downloaded Lacy dishcloth and don’t understand Row 2 directions: Hdc AROUND next Dc. Do you mean NEXT Dc? I’m a beginner and haven’t seen directions for this type of stich.
Thank you .
Mary
<< Reply >>
For Row 2 you make 3 chains and turn.
Now double crochet in the next stitch.
Half double crochet around the last double crochet... this means you make a half double crochet around the post of the double crochet you just made.
*Now skip the next stitch. Double crochet in the next 2 stitches. Then work a half double crochet around the last double crochet. Now repeat from the asterisk across to the last two stitches. Skip the next stitch. Double crochet in the last stitch.
PS... I replied to two separate emails regarding this and both came back as undeliverable.

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

Humor provides us with a valuable tool for

A sales clerk asked his boss how to handle people who complained
about the current prices compared to the low prices in the good
old days.
"Just act surprised and tell them you didn't think that they were
old enough to remember them."
My friend Anita recently started taking a yoga class at the
local university gym. Being in her mid-40s, she is one of
the older students there.
One day, she lamented to me that the younger people in the
class seemed far more flexible and able to get into the
poses.
Her eight-year-old daughter, Sophie, was listening in and
following her instructions, bending and twisting easily
into each pose.
"When does this get hard?" Sophie asked us.
"In about 30 years!" Anita replied.
Several days ago as I left a meeting at a hotel, I desperately gave myself a personal TSA pat down.
I was looking for my keys. They were not in my pockets.
A quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing. Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot.
My husband has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition. My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them.
His theory is that the car will be stolen.
As I burst through the door, I came to a terrifying conclusion.
His theory was right. The parking lot was empty.
I immediately called the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen.
Then I made the most difficult call of all, "Honey," I stammered; ( I always call him "honey" in times like these.) I left my keys in the car and it's been stolen."
There was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard his voice.
"Are you kidding' me???" he barked , "I dropped you off!!"
Now it was my time to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, "Well, come and get me."
He retorted, "I will, as soon as I convince this cop I didn't steal your car."
"What's the usual tip?" a man growled when a University of
South Carolina student delivered his pizza.
"Well," the student replied, "this is my first delivery, but
the other guys said that if I got a quarter out of you, I'd
be doing great."
"That so?" grunted the man. "In that case, here's five dollars."
"Thanks," the student said, "I'll put it in my college fund."
"By the way, what are you studying?"
"Applied psychology."
Recently my son, Patrick, and I found ourselves short on
time and looking for a parking space at the mall. "Angels,
we're in a bit of a hurry and would like very much to find
a space near the entrance," I said.
"I don't know about all that, Dad," Patrick said uneasily.
I started to launch into a little sermon about how God
always helps those who ask him, when I saw Patrick's arm
shoot out and point toward the front of the mall. "Look!
A space!"
Sure enough, right by the entrance.
As I was pulling in, Patrick wondered whether it was all
just one big coincidence.
"Then again," he said, "maybe it was the angels. Check that
out!"
The license plate on the car across from us read "Amen."
A little girl asked her mother, "Can I go outside and play
with the boys?"
Her mother replied, "No, you can't play with the boys, they're
too rough."
The little girl thought about it for a few moments and asked,
"If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?"
First golfer, Bill: "What was your score?"
Second golfer, Bob: "Seventy-two."
Bill: "That's not too bad at all!"
Bob: "Thanks! I hope I'll do better on the second hole."
Little Joey was misbehaving and was sent to bed.
His uncle, who was having dinner with the family,
went to see Joey in his bedroom and told him, "If
you ask God to help you about your misbehaving, He
will help you."
Joey immediately took his uncle's advice and started
praying, "Dear God, please help me not to get caught
quite so much."
A salesman was trying to talk a farmer into buying
a bicycle, but was meeting with considerable sales
resistance.
"Shucks, I'd sooner spend my money on a cow," said
the farmer.
"Ah," replied the salesman, "but think how silly you'd
look riding around on a cow."
"Humph!" retorted the farmer. "Not near as silly as I'd
look trying to milk a bicycle!"
A client brought a litter of Golden Retriever puppies to the local veterinary clinic for inoculations and worming.
As the look-alike pups squirmed over and under one another in their box, the experienced vet realized it would be difficult to tell which had been treated and which hadn't. The Vet turned on the water faucet, wet her fingers and moistened each dog's head as she finished giving each one the necessary shots.
After the fourth puppy, the vet noticed her hitherto talkative client had grown silent and was looking rather reverent.
As the animal doctor sprinkled the last pup's head, the owner leaned forward and whispered, "I didn't know they had to be baptized, too."
Because they needed some help around the house, the minister's wife placed an ad for a Butler. Around 8 AM the next morning a nicely dressed young man appeared at their front door.
"Can you fix breakfast by 7 AM every day?" the minister wife asked the young man.
"Well...... I guess I can," came the bewildered reply.
"And can you make the beds, dust the living room, do the dishes, cut the grass, and polish the silver also?" the minister's wife continued.
"Gee, maam, he said, as he ran for the door, I just came by to see about getting married, but if it's going to be that much work, you can count me out, right now!"
I was visiting my son and daughter-in-law last night and I
asked if I could borrow a newspaper.
"This is the 21st century, old man," he said. "We don't waste
money on newspapers. Here, you can borrow my iPhone."
I can tell you, that fly never knew what hit it!
