WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
"Enjoy
the little things,
for one day you may look
back and realize they were the big things."
Robert Brault
And Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, "Men of Athens, I observe that you are very religious in all respects. For while I was passing through and examining the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription, "TO AN UNKNOWN GOD." What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; neither is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all life and breath and all things; and He made from one, every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times, and the boundaries of their habitation, that they should seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, "For we also are His offspring." Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and though of man. Therefore having overlooked the times of ignrance, God is now declaring to men that all everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead."
Acts 17:22-32
For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that being justified by His grace we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:3-7
"GOD'S LOVE CAN BREAK DOWN BARRIERS."
This quote is from Our Daily Bread - August, 2010 Issue
"For
where two or three have gathered together in My name, there I am
in their midst."
Matthew 18:20

CROCHET STITCH or TECHNIQUE
(A
different crochet stitch and/or tip featured in each issue...
to be added later to the Crochet Basics page)
WORKING IN THE ROUND
"Working
in the round" is when you crochet in a circular shape or any
other shape in which the beginning and end of a row meet.
Rounds can be worked one at a time by joining the last stitch on
the round to the first stitch... making chains and then proceeding
to the next round. OR... you can work in a continuous round using
markers to keep track of where your rounds begin/end.
When you work in a continuous round you do not have to join and
make chains to begin the next round... you simply keep going,
repositioning your marker each time you have a new round.
The following pages are helpful in explaining crocheting in the round:

Thank you Lisa,
but could you explain what the "brackets" mean?
That's really throwing me off. [3 dc.(Ch 2. 4 dc)] 3 times in ring.
You're great. Earlene Wolfe
<< reply >>
>>>>> [3 dc.(Ch 2. 4 dc)] 3 times in ring.
Brackets are
used the same way parentheses are... to group instructions.
Repeats are specified just after the closing parenthesis or bracket.
So the designer could have intended to do this:
3dc in ring,
chain 2, 4 dc in ring
3dc in ring, chain 2, 4 dc in ring
3dc in ring, chain 2, 4 dc in ring
but that doesn't seem right.
I believe the
last bracket might have been typed in the wrong place in the pattern.
So try this first:
3 dc in ring
chain 2, 4dc in ring
chain 2, 4dc in ring
chain 2, 4dc in ring
Then see if your next instruction works out okay.
Re: Welcome to CNM Newsletter

Subject: I am in trouble
Lisa, I cant get it to work out on round 6 on the toilet tissue cover. Surely you cant get a SC,dc,5 trc,dc,sc,in every single stitch in each SC 9 space. Please set me straight.thats just in the fl only. Please advise, I want to make this for my daughter in law. Thank you for all the lovely patterns. Wilma pruitt
<< reply >>
>>> RND 6: Working in fl only of each sc on RND 5, (sc, dc, 5 tr, dc, sc) in each set of 9 sc. (note: the first sc is in the same st as the sl st you did at the end of RND 5)
No... you don't
put all of those stitches in every sc...
you put one stitch in the front loop of each sc.
So in each set
of 9 sc...
you put a sc in the first st,
a dc in the next,
a tr in the next 5 sts,
one dc in the next st
and a sc in the last st.
Re: FAAN Walk for Food Allergies
Good Morning, Hope you are having a wonderfull and blessed Friday. My family and I have joined the FAAN Walk for Food Alergies and hoping you can help us to make a difference. There is a little girl at our church her name is Megan. Those of you who attend are church know her. She is five years old and has Food Allergies and I don't mean she can't eat one or two things. She can't even be around alot of things. When she was only 5 months old she nearly died due to an allergic reaction to ice cream. She can't eat or come in contact with nuts,dairy,eggs. She can't go anywhere even to school or church without her epi-pen incase she has an allergic reaction. On September 26th we will be walking to help raise money for research to find a cure for food allergies. Please help by making a donation to support our cause and help Megan's Voice to be heard. Simply click on the link below to make your tax-deductable donation. Thank you and God Bless. Help support me and my family as we walk for food Allergies.Click on the link below and make a donation to help find a cure.

Re: help instructions
Hi what does it mean when instructions say (I underlined and bold the part i dont understand) Round 2: 3ch, 1dc into the same sp, 2dc into each of the next 3 sts, 1dc into each of the next 13 sts, 2dc into each of the next 7 sts, 1dc into each of the next 13 sts, 2dc into each of the 2 next sts. Close the rnd with a ss into the 3rd ch at the beg of the rnd. Please help, Yadira
<< reply >>
For Round 2
you make 3 chains... then work one double crochet into the same
space...
this is in the same stitch from which the 3 chains come up from.
Now work 2 double crochets into each of the next 3 stitches.
Work one double crochet in each of the next 13 stitches.
Work two double crochets in each of the next 7 stitches.
Work one double crochet in each of the next 13 stitches.
Work two double crochets in each of the next 2 stitches.
Join with a slip stitch in the 3rd chain of the beginning chain
3 to close the round.
RE: Hump of chain and sc
Hi my name is Evelyn, and I am a beginner at this, please tell me what is a hump and SC.
<< 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.
I specify to work in the "hump of the chain" in many of my patterns.
A SINGLE CROCHET
is made as follows:
Insert your hook into the stitch or space indicated, then yarn over
and pull up a loop.
(You should have two loops on your hook.)
Yarn over and draw through both of the loops on your hook.

This video shows how to make a single crochet into the top loop
of a chain.
Thank you! I am having fun learning to crochet. I retired from teaching a little over a year ago, and I'm glad I saved the crocheting until now. It really is a great brain booster! Debbie

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.

TOURISTS ask a lot of questions as we travel between the Hawaiian Islands on my charter boat.
Some people wanted to know, "Does the water go all the way around the island?"
Another asked, "How much further until we're in the ocean?"
But the one
that made me want to jump overboard was,
"Can you please take the boat closer to the sunset?"
When three-year-old
opened the birthday gift from his grandmother, he discovered a water
pistol.
He squealed with delight and headed for the nearest sink.
The Mother
was not so pleased. She turned to grandma and said, "I'm surprised
at you.
Don't you remember how we used to drive you crazy with water guns?"
Grandma smiled and then replied knowingly... "I remember."
I love making
clothes for my five-year-old granddaughter.
And she, in turn, always seems happy to accept them.
The other day, I asked if she would like me to make her a skirt.
"Yes," she said. "But this time, could you make it look like it came from a store?"
A single guy
decided life would be more fun if he had a pet.
So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to
buy an unusual pet.
After some discussion, he finally bought a talking centipede, (100-legged
bug),
which came in a little white box to use for his house. He took the
box back home,
found a good spot for the box, and decided he would start off by
taking his new pet to church with him.
So he asked
the centipede in the box,"Would you like to go to church with me
today?
We will have a good time."
But there was
no answer from his new pet..
This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked
again,
"How about going to church with me and receive blessings?"
But again, there
was no answer from his new friend and pet.
So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation.
The guy decided to invite the centipede one last time.
This time he put his face up against the centipede's house and shouted,
"Hey, in there! Would you like to go to church with me and learn
about God?"
This time, a little voice came out of the box, "I heard you the first time! I'm putting on my shoes!"
While I sat
in the reception area of my doctor's office, a woman rolled an elderly
man in a
wheelchair into the room. As she went to the receptionist's desk,
the man sat there, alone and silent.
Just as I was thinking I should make small talk with him, a little
boy slipped off his mother's lap
and walked over to the wheelchair. Placing his hand on the man's,
he said,
"I know how you feel. My mom makes me ride in the stroller, too."
Looking over
the log book kept by the computer support staff at my office,
I noticed several entries stating the problem was PICNIC.
I asked one
of the technicians what PICNIC meant.
He laughed as he told me it meant "Problem In Chair, Not In Computer."
As I was admitted
to the hospital prior to a procedure, the clerk asked for my wrist,
saying,
"I'm going to give you a bracelet."
"Has it got rubies and diamonds?" I asked coyly.
"No," he said. "But it costs just as much."
While vacationing
in Alaska, I couldn't help but notice all the warnings about bears
posted in campgrounds,
visitors' centers, and rest areas advising people not to feed the
bears, how to avoid bears, what to do if
a bear sees you, what to do if a bear attacks, and so on. My favorite,
however, was a hand-lettered sign
on the door of a small gas station in a remote area. It said: "Warning!
If you are being chased by a bear,
don't come in here!"
A kindly 90-year-old
grandmother found buying presents for family and friends a bit much
one Christmas,
so she wrote out checks for all of them to put in their Christmas
cards. In each card she wrote,
"Buy your own present" and then sent them off.
After the Christmas festivities were over, she found the checks in her desk!
Everyone had
gotten a Christmas card from her with "Buy your own present" written
inside,
but without the checks!
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."
"Guess what?"
yelled my high schooler as he burst through the door.
"I got a 100 on the Spanish quiz that I didn't even know we were
having."
"That's great!" I said. "But why didn't you know about the quiz?"
"Because our teacher told us about it in Spanish."
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."
