No God,
No Peace.
Know God, Know Peace.
Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
Ephesians 6:4
Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
Proverbs 22:6
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.
Ephesians 4:31-32
And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it at all. And He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands upon them.
Mark 10:13-16
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. "Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me; but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea.
Matthew 18:1-6
"TIME
SPENT WITH YOUR
CHILDREN IS TIME WISELY INVESTED."

This file is
very informative when learning to crochet:
http://www.lionbrand.com/faq/learnToCrochet.pdf
If your yarn tends to get dirty before you can use it... or you have a problem with your pet shedding hair that keeps getting on your yarn.... keep your yarn protectived! You can reuse old bread bags to keep your yarn clean. Wash the bag and dry it thoroughly. Insert a skein of yarn with the pull end toward the opening. Insert a piece of a straw (about a 3 inche piece) in the opening of the bag and feed the yarn through it. Fasten the twist tie around the straw. This allows the yarn to flow freely without the fear of getting the twist tie wound to tightly.

Re: BasicsPage
Hi Folks - I am making a
vest with a pattern that has *'s. I am completely confused with this.
This is how Row 2 reads: Ch 1, sc in each of first 3 sc, *ch 5, sk 3 sc **,
sc in each of next 5 sc, rep from * across ending last rep at **, sc in each
of last 3 sc, turn.
Would you be kind enough to translate this whole instruction for me ?
I don't understand these stars at all. After star one, where do you go ?
Thanking you in advance. Sincerely yours, Barbara
<< reply >>
Row 2 reads:
Ch 1, sc in each of first 3 sc, *ch 5, sk 3 sc **, sc in each of next 5 sc,
rep from * across ending last rep at **, sc in each of last 3 sc, turn.
This means:
For Row 2 you do the following:
Chain 1
single crochet in each of the first 3 single crochet stitches
*
chain 5
skip the next 3 single crochet stitches
**
single crochet in each of the next 5 single crochet stitches
Now repeat all instructions
from the asterisk * over and over across the row...
end with the last repeat stopping at the double asterisks **
Now work one single crochet
in each of the last 3 single crochet stitches.
Turn.
Subject: Emma's Baby Booties
I am making the baby booties and a little confused on the heel row R7. After R6, do you turn or just continue around with row 7? Hope this makes sense to you. Thank you, Charlotte. PS..do you have any other baby patterns. I am looking for baby sweaters and hats. if you know of any v stitch baby hats, I would love to know. I made a beautiful v stitch sweater but the pattern did not include a hat. Thanks again.
<< reply >>
You turn... R7 isn't worked in the round.

Subject: baby's abc's afghan
I found your pattern for this afghan --- love it --- downloaded it --- one question: All of the Caron yarn that I've found is ww 4, and the size D hook seems terribly small for that size yarn. Are you absolutely sure that the pattern calls for such a small hook??? Can you give me a guage to use?? I want to make this afghan for the 1st child of a very special couple who's very near and dear to my heart. Getting it right means the world to me!!! Thank you! Nancy Hall
<< reply >>
Sadly, this is not one of my designs. I am, however, very experienced with this pattern as I have made a bunch for baby showers.
The Caron Simply Soft yarns are 4 ply ww yarns. And the "D" hook they list will work ok with that brand. However, I love to use Bernat Baby Softee with a hook size G or H.
You don't need a gauge if you use a G hook with either Caron or Bernat. If I had one started I would measure gauge for you... but sadly I don't have one in the works at this moment.
RE: Sun Coaster
I found your "Sun Coaster (2007)" pattern on the Internet. I was desperate to find a coaster pattern that would actually stop glass moister from seeping through. Not only is your pattern true to it's Internet picture but was much easier than I expected. I chose it because it appeared to be denser than any of the other patterns and that turned out to be true as well.
I just wanted to let you know that your work was appreciated and that your 'right-on' directions were precise, easy to follow, and that I'm extremely pleased with the results.
Best regards, Sheila - Springfield, MO
Re: Crosshatch_Dishcloth - Question
You can not complete rows 2 -12 when the current instructions for the ROW 1 state *Sk next 3 chs. Sc in the next 3 chains.* In your instructions no double crochets are mentioned in the first row with the exception: at the beginning of ROW 1-- 2 dc in 3rd ch from the hook. The Rows 2 -12 indicate "Sk next 3 dc. I found the following works for the ROW 1. After Ch. 42, 2dc in 3rd ch from hook *sk next 3 chs, sc in the next ch,* ch 3, Dc in the next three chains. *Rep from * across to the last 4 chains. Sk next 3 chs, Sc in the last ch. At that point I can replicate ROW 2 -12. Sharon

Subject: Help with a patttern:
i am having a problem trying to figure out the crosshatch dishcloth. Row 1: ch 42, 2 dc in 3rd ch from hook *sk next 3 chs, sc in next 3 ch. rep from * across to last 4 chs. Sk next 3 chs. Sc in last ch. Row 2-12 ch 3, turn ( counts as 1 dc.) 2 dc in 1st sc. *sk next 3 dc. sc in 1st of net 3 chains. ch 3. Dc in next 2 chs. Dc in next sc. rep from * across to last 3 st. sk next 2 dc. Sc in top of turning ch. I can figure out the first row. .but when it gets to the row 2. I chain 3 and turn then I do 2 double crochets in the 1st. single crochet . then I get lost. as I think it read skip next 3 dc. well their is no double crochets in row 1 so i dont know where they are getting these at. as the only double crochets I see are at the beginning of the row. is this a type-o or am I just reading the pattern wrong. SK does mean skip???? If you could write it out maybe that would help. Thanks for the help... M. Yancer
AND
I am trying to make the crosshatch dishcloth, but seem to be having some problems understanding the pattern. Maybe it's me but my question is this; when i start the second row i am confused where it says to skip the next 3dc. But the first row all it said was sk 3chs and do 3sc in the next 3chs. across. So i am not sure where i am to skip 3dc. Could you maybe help explain the pattern to me. I am somewhat new to following patterns. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sheri

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.

I was supposed to go out
with this guy on Friday night.
On Friday afternoon he called and said that he didn't think it was a good idea,
because he just wanted to be friends.
So I hung up and called
him back.
He was like, "Hello?"
I said, "Hey, friend, it's me. Want to hear what this jerk just did?"
The irate customer calling our newspaper offices loudly demanded to know where her Sunday edition was.
"Ma'am," I interrupted,
"today is Saturday.
The Sunday paper is not delivered until Sunday."
There was a pause on the
other end of the phone, followed by a ray of recognition.
"So that's why no one was in church today."
My brother and I arrived at boot camp together. On the first morning, our unit was dragged out of bed by our drill sergeant and made to assemble outside. "My name's Sergeant Jackson," he snarled. "Is there anyone here who thinks he can whip me?"
My six-foot-three, 280-pound brother raised his hand and said, "Yes, sir, I do."
Our sergeant grabbed him
by the arm and led him out in front of the group.
"Men," he said, "this is my new assistant. Now, is there anyone here who thinks
he can whip both of us?"
When I overheard one of
my cashiers tell a customer,
"We haven't had it for a while, and I doubt we'll be getting it soon,"
I quickly assured the customer
that we would have whatever it was she wanted by next week.
After she left, I read the cashier the riot act.
"Never tell the customer that we're out of anything. Tell them we'll have it
next week," I instructed her.
"Now, what did she want?"
"Rain."
Trying to explain to our five-year-old daughter how much computers had changed, my husband pointed to our brand-new personal computer and told her that when he was in college, a computer with the same amount of power would have been the size of a house.
Wide-eyed, our daughter
asked, “How big was the mouse?”
Torrential rainstorms were knocking down power lines all over town. That meant, as a customer service rep for the electric company, I was dispatching repairmen right and left. When one lineman called a customer to get her exact address, he was told, "I'm at Post Office Box 99."
The weary lineman replied, "Ma'am, I'll be coming to you in a truck, not an envelope."
Trying to do my share to help the environment, I set up a trash basket at my church and posted above it this suggestion: "Empty water bottles here."
I should have been a little more specific, because when I went to check it later, I didn't find any bottles in it. But it was full of water.
The strong young man at the construction site was bragging that he could outdo anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workmen. After several minutes, the older worker had had enough.
"Why don't you put your
money where your mouth is," he said.
"I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to
that outbuilding that you won't be able to wheel back."
"You're on, old man," the
braggart replied.
"Let's see what you got."
The old man reached out
and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles.
Then, nodding to the young man, he said...
"All right. Get in."!

The woman needed encouragement to keep pedaling the exercise bike in her gym. So my friend, the gym manager, said, "Close your eyes and imagine you're riding along Broadway in New York City. It will be more interesting."
Inspired, the woman cycled on, but after a minute she stopped.
"What's wrong?" asked my friend.
"The traffic light's red," she replied.
During training exercises, the lieutenant who was driving down a muddy back road encountered another car stuck in the mud with a red-faced colonel at the wheel.
"Your jeep stuck, sir?" asked the lieutenant as he pulled alongside.
"Nope," replied the colonel, coming over and handing him the keys, "Yours is."
