WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
"Instead of a gem or even a flower, cast the gift
of a lovely thought into the heart of a friend."
~~ George MacDonald ~~
But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. For prior to the coming of certain men from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to withdraw and hold himself aloof, fearing the party of the circumcision. And the rest of the Jews joined him in hyprocrisy, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, "If you, being a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews? We are Jews by nature, and not sinners from among the Gentiles; nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? May it never be! For if I rebuild what I have once destroyed, I prove myself to be a transgressor. For through the Law I died to the Law, that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered Himself up for me. I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly."
Galatians 2:11-21
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth. Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips. A stone is heavy and the sand weighty, But the provocation of a fool is heavier than both of them. Wrath is fierce and anger is a flood, but who can stand before jealousy? Better is open rebuke than love that is concealed. Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.
Proverbs 27:1-6
I have become a marvel to many; for Thou art my strong refuge. My mouth is filled with Thy praise, and with Thy glory all day long. Do not cast me off in the time of old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails. For my enemies have spoken against me; and those who watch for my life have consulted together, saying, "God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is no one to deliver."
Psalm 71:7-11
The Lord God has given Me the tongue of disciples, that I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.
Isaiah 50:4
"A WELL-CHOSEN WORD CAN SPEAK VOLUMES."

different crochet stitch and/or tip featured in each issue...
to be added later to the Crochet Basics page)
POPCORN STITCH (PC)
The standard popcorn stitch is worked as
follows:
Work 5 double crochets in the chain or stitch indicated.
Drop the loop from the hook.
Insert
the hook in first top of the first double crochet of the 5-dc group.
Pick up the dropped loop.
Draw through the stitch.
Ch1.
Now you can "pop" the popcorn to the right or wrong side of the work as needed.

If you use a different yarn than what is called for in a pattern... keep the labels from each skein of yarn used in your project tote so you can tell exactly how much yarn that project required. Then make a note of how much yarn used on the actual pattern. If you decide to make it again later you will know how much yarn to purchase.

RE: How to Crochet: Toilet Tissue Cover Tutorial - Part 1 (Rounds 1-3)
Comments:
Wish you showed it on the tissue.

You can see it on the tissue in the photo on the pattern page (link below video).

Great tutorial. Will this fix double toilet tissue? I am working on another tissue pattern and I had to add more rows because it was not long enough for the tissue. I will try your pattern next.
Thank you
rmcjlive63

I've used mine on the Charmin mega roll.
The tension used when crocheting will determine if it will fit a larger roll or not.
This pattern is worked from the top down so you can see if the top will fit before
you work the sides.

Subject: Puffs_All_Over_Baby_Hat
First off I want to thank you for all the free patterns, really neat and so nice of you to share with us. In a quick look over I noticed this one mistake, In round 2, you say to do 2 sc between all stitches then join. I () you say 24 dc, shouldn't it be 24 sc.
Thanks again, God bless Gladys
<< reply >>
You’re very welcome Gladys.
Yes... that should read 24sc... and I have made the change on the
pattern page:

Subject: No_Sew_Towel_Topper
Please help me. (Towel Loop). Ch 1 turn. Sc in ch3 sp.(ch. 1, turn, sc in sc just made) 10 times. Rd 1---can't figure out. Please clarify for me if you don't mind.
Brenda
<< reply >>
This means you chain 1, then turn.
Now make one single crochet in the chain 3 space.
Chain 1 and turn.. then work a single crochet in the single crochet you made.
You keep chaining one and turning to work another single crochet into
the one you just made each time (10 times in all) and that makes the loop.
Guestbook Comment:
This is a very good site and I would like to thank you for the instructions on how to read a pattern. I have crochet for years but mostly made things that I would not have to read a pattern for. Im now ready to try to read a pattern. Again thank you for this site.

Guestbook Comment:
A friend of my mother once gave me a small sample and brief directions for starting a blanket. I've long ago lost the directions and my mom and would like some help. The blanket started with a small square(maybe 5 stitches sq) the next row had 2 squares, the next 3 and so on until there was a triangle as large as you wanted to be 1/2 the size of a square blanket. Then you had to decrease with each row to finish the blanket. Any help to recreate this would be appreciated.

In reference to your message...
the pattern you describe sounds similar to the way this pattern is worked:

Guestbook Comment:
Once again I have to say thank you for your patterns. I recently found out that my neighbors are having a baby girl in late June. I have not crocheted girl baby things in 16 years. Since my youngesst grand-daughter was born I have had 2 grand-sons and 4 great grand-sons so you can see why I'm so excited.
Today I downloaded your new pattern for booties "Newborn Baby Booties. I am also going to make your "Baby Headband". And since I like trying patterns that are for something else and changing it into something else I'm going to try your "In the Round Placemat" and see how it looks as a baby blanket.
As always keep up the great work and thank you always.
Janet

And this is a Christian site praise the Lord I was so encouraged when reading your testimony thank you for sharing it may it continue to bless and reach many more folk.Wow I'll be telling others of this site it's awesome! At present time I'm more interested in baby knitting patterns and preemie baby patterns to use in our Ladies group at church to help support newborn babies in various circumstances. So thank you for making these available. May God continue to bless you in all that you do. By the way I live in New Zealand. Audrey

Hi Lisa,
I just wanted to know what size this blanket is.
thanks!

<< reply >>
This afghan is great for a newborn.
You can adjust the size of this afghan by making the center granny portion
larger before adding the edging.

You're very welcome... I love how sturdy that stitch makes the edge of a project.

Subject: Afghan_Stitch_Coaster
What size yarn do I need to make this coaster?
I am using a 4oz size and that is making my stitch to tight.
David
<< reply >>
Red Heart Super Saver is a worsted weight, 4 ply acrylic yarn.
If your stitches are too tight you might try a larger hook.
RE: Post on the Crochetnmore Tumblr Page
Crochet Tip
Look for sweaters at yard sales and thrift stores.
If handmade you can unravel and reuse the yarn.
Question:
I really liked your idea of unraveling an old sweater to use the yarn.
How is this done?
simplifyingmylife
<< Reply >>
First you need to determine if the sweater is handmade.
If the seams have been cut and then sewn with regular sewing thread then the sweater isn’t handmade.
If the sweater is handmade the seams will be hand stitched using yarn and you won’t see any cut ends.
Then it’s pretty much trial and error… pick where you think the knitting or crocheting ended, be brave and cut the yarn and see if it will unravel. Sometimes you get one long piece, other times you get many smaller sections. It all depends on the sweater. Some sweaters are made in one piece while others are made in multiple pieces that are joined.

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
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The neighbor of a young man was having trouble with her washing
machine and
asked him to come over and take a look at it.
"I'm not very good at fixing these things," he admitted. "The last time I tried your husband had to buy a new one."
"I know," she replied, smiling.
My husband had just finished bowling, and we were in the lounge
with some friends. We hadn't had our cell-phone for long, so
while we were sitting there, I asked Michael to show me how to
access messages.
He did and I retrieved a message.
"Who is it?" he asked.
"It sounds like some old woman asking for bread," I replied.
Michael took the phone and listened to the message.
"That was you," he laughed, "asking me to pick up bread at the store."
A local priest and pastor were fishing on the side of the road.
They thoughtfully made a sign saying,
"The End is Near!
Turn yourself around now before it's too late!"
and showed it to each passing car.
One driver that drove by didn't appreciate the sign and shouted at them:
"Leave us alone, you religious nuts!"
All of a sudden they heard a big SPLASH! The priest and the pastor looked at each other, and they said each other.
"Do you think we should just put up a sign that says 'bridge out' instead?'"
Employment application blanks always ask 'who is to be notified in case of
an emergency.' I think you should write, "A Good Doctor!"
One snowy evening my brother, a regional police officer, stopped a car at a roadside check for drunk drivers. "Good evening, ma'am," he greeted the lady. "How are you this evening?"
"Fine, thank you," she replied.
My brother continued, "Anything to drink this evening?"
Surprised, the lady answered, "No, thank you."
One day I asked my two-year-old daughter, Catherine, where her slippers were.
"Downstairs in the kitchen," she told me.
"What are they doing there?" I asked.
"Nothing," she replied. "They can't walk because they don't have feet in them right now."
Yesterday at church, a lady from the congregation was presenting the children's sermon. She walked up to the front of the church and said, "May I have all of the children?"
As the children walked forward, several parents responded, "Yes."
One quick-witted father asked, "For how long?"
A man went to visit a friend and was amazed to find him playing chess with his dog. He watched the game in astonishment for a while.
"I can hardly believe my eyes!" he exclaimed.
"That's the smartest dog I've ever seen."
"Nah, he's not so smart," the friend replied.
"I've beaten him three games out of five."
Having taken lessons, my six-year-old niece
one day announced to her grandfather how well
she could swim.
“How far can you swim?” he asked.
“I don’t know,” Charlene replied.
Pointing to a table across the room, he asked, “Can you swim from here to the table?”
When she answered no, he pointed to a closer spot and asked, “Can you swim from here to there?”
“No,” she replied.
Perplexed, Charlene’s grandfather asked, “How is it you can swim so well, but you can’t swim from here to there?”
“Grandpa,” she replied, “there’s no water.”
The 16th tee featured a fairway that ran along a road.
The first golfer in a foursome teed off and hooked the ball. It soared over the fence and bounced onto the street, where it hit the tire of a moving bus and ricocheted back onto the fairway.
As they all stood in amazement, one of the golfer's friends asked, "How did you do that?"
The golfer shrugged. "You have to know the bus schedule."
Sarah dropped in on her sister Molly and found her sitting at the kitchen table,
staring blankly at a half-empty cup of coffee, her three kids squabbling loudly in the other room.
"What's wrong Molly?" she asked.
Molly told her that she had morning sickness.
Surprised, Sarah said, "Hurray! I didn't even know you were pregnant!"
"I'm not," the harried middle-aged mother replied.
"I'm just sick of mornings."
Because I had forgotten the dates for a number of my friends' and relatives' birthdays and anniversaries, I decided to compile a list on the computer and have the dates highlighted on screen when the machine was turned on. I went to a number of computer stores to find a software program that would do the job but had no luck at the first few. I finally found one where the clerk seemed experienced. "Can you recommend something that will remind me of birthdays and anniversaries?" I asked.
"Have you tried a wife?" he replied.
