"
You can give without loving.
But you cannot love without giving."
Amy Carmichael
But at the evening offering I arose from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe torn, and I fell on my knees and stretched out my hands to the Lord my God; and I said, "O my God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift up my face to Thee, my God, for our iniquities have risen above our heads, and our guilt has grown even to the heavens.
Ezra 9:5-6
How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered! How blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit! When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night Thy hand was heavy upon me; my vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer. I acknowledged my sin to Thee and my iniquity I did not hide; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord;" and Thou didst forgive the guilt of my sin.
Psalm 32:1-5
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: 53:6
And they shall not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know the Lord, for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, declares the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.
Jeremiah 31:34
As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. Just as a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.
Psalm 103:12-13
"GUILT
IS A BURDEN GOD NEVER
INTENDED HIS CHILDREN TO BEAR."

CLUSTER
(CL)
There are variations of the cluster stitch but basically it means there is more than one stitch clustered together. As an example: If you were doing a 3 double crochet cluster you would do each double crochet without completing the last step (you would have 2 loops on the hook after the first dc, 3 loops on the hook after the second dc and 4 loops on the hook when all three dcs are completed. Then you yarn over and draw through all of the loops. That is what "Clusters" the stitch.

Permission (Re: Emma's_Baby_Booties)
My I use this pattern to sale a few of these booties. I am 72 years old and need to make a little change and since these are just beautiful booties I would like to try a few.

The Dog Sweater pattern

Hi. I'm stuck. My little one required 35 sts for around waist. Now I'm at Rnd 13 and I don't know howmany to sl st. Can youhelp me from there. Thank you. Margaret
<< reply >>
The pattern says:
"Then for rnd 13 do sl sts (remember how many for rnd 21) for how wide the
dog's chest is (from the outside of one leg to the outside of the other) and
then hdc in each remaining stitch."
That means you work slip stitches for how wide your dog's chest is from the outside of one leg to the outside of the other. Then you half double crochet in the remaining stitches. Now remember how many slip stitches you made because you need to know that for round 21.
Subject: Cluster_Hanging_Dish_Towel
Thank you for the pattern.
I’m anxious to get started. I’m confused about what hooks to use.
The pattern refers to Hook H, Steel #7, and a G hook. Do I need all 3?
Row 1 says to use the Steel #7 and also the G hook. Is this correct?
Thanks. Rhonda R. Kemp
<< reply >>
You're very welcome Rhonda.
You're the first person to bring this to my attention.
There are two hooks... the size G (though and H would probably work just as
well), and a size 7 steel hook.
The size 7 is needed to make the first row onto the towel. Then the G hook is
used to make the actual topper.
I have made the change to the pattern page... thanks so much for telling me!

what does it mean when the beginning of the pattern says 1-row repeat?
<< reply >>
This means you repeat one row of the pattern over and over.

Re: Question...
What does it mean to work “behind”? My pattern says… working behind both Puff Sts, dc in first 2 skipped sc … Do I turn to go to the back side of my work? (This seems to create a messy, bulky appearance.) I’m sure I’m making this harder than it is!! Thank you for any explanation that might help me continue with my project. Nancy
<< reply >>
In many patterns we are
instructed to work "over" stitches.
In your case, you work behind them which will leave the puff stitches undisturbed.
So, keeping the work facing
you like it is... access the indicated stitch by going into that stitch
while the puff stitches remain in front of the hook and not engaged in the stitch
in any way.
Re: afghan
I am interested in crocheting the paw print afghan square. I was wondering if you could tell me how many squares are needed for the size in the pattern(7 !/2 X 7 1/2) I want to make it larger. Thanks Linda van Aalst
<< reply >>
The paw print afghan square
is 7-1/2 inches by 7-1/2 inches square.
You can make an afghan using any number of these squares to obtain the size
you want.
Example:
If you want an afghan that is 45 x 60 you would make it 6 squares wide and 8
squares long.
For a variation you can also make solid squares and alternate them with the
paw print squares.
Hi, I have a pattern that I'm not sure I understand what it wants and it's driving me crazy. It is as follows: Row 2...(right side) Change 3 (counts as first dc row now and throughout), dc in next dc *Fpdc around next stitch, dc in next 2 dc, skip 2 dc, 5 dc in next dc, skip 1 dc, dc in next 2 dc, Fpdc* repeat from **, dc in last 2 dc, turn.
I understand it up to the repeat from ** does it mean once or till the end as I tried both and I had two many stitches left at the end or too few. What am I doing wrong?
Any help you can give me
before I snatcdh myself bald will be greatly appreciated.
In Light, Love & Peace,
Gail & Carl
<< reply >>
Row 2...(right side) Change 3 (counts as first dc row now and throughout), dc in next dc *Fpdc around next stitch, dc in next 2 dc, skip 2 dc, 5 dc in next dc, skip 1 dc, dc in next 2 dc, Fpdc* repeat from **, dc in last 2 dc, turn.
This means Row 2 is the
right side.
You chain 3 and that will count as the first double crochet.
Double crochet in the next double crochet.
*
Front post double crochet around the next stitch
Double crochet in each of the next 2 double crochets
skip 2 double crochets
work 5 double crochets in the next double crochet
skip 1 double crochet
double crochet in each of the next two double crochets
Front post double crochet (guessing that goes in the next stitch since pattern
doesn't say)
I believe
Repeat from **... should say Repeat from * to *.
That just means you repeat instructions between the asterisks across the row.
Since the last part of the instructions say to
Double crochet in the last 2 double crochets
then your repeats should repeat over and over until there are two doubles left.
Does that help?
Subject: Breast Cancer Afghan
I am wanting to make the
ROW COUNT
BREAST CANCER RIBBON AFGHAN SQUARE for
my mother and I was wondering how much yarn I would need to purchase? Thanks!
<< reply >>
It depends on how big you
want to make it and if you only use the ribbon squares.
Each square uses the following:
White (MC) - less than 1-1/2 oz
Pink (CC) - less than 1/2 oz
So if you want an afghan using only the ribbon squares and you want the size to be 45 inches x 60 inches, you will need 48 squares:
Now the math:
48 squares x 1-1/2 ounces of white yarn = 72 ounces of white
48 squares x 1/2 ounce of pink yarn each = 24 ounces of pink
If you alternate the ribbon
squares with all white squares then you will need more white and less pink yarn.
The overall yarn amounts will depend on how you want to design the afghan.

words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.

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.

The man passed out in a dead faint as he came out of his front door onto the porch. Someone called 911. When the paramedics arrived, they helped him regain consciousness and asked if he knew what caused him to faint.
"It was enough to make anybody faint," he said. "My son asked me for the keys to the garage, and instead of driving the car out, he came out with the lawn mower!"
A flight attendant was on the red-eye to Manila when a water leak developed in the galley, which eventually soaked the carpet throughout the cabin of the 747. A very sleepy passenger who had become aware of the dampness asked the attendant, "Has it been raining?"
Keeping a straight face, the attendant replied, "Yes, but we put the top up."
My wife and I are both in an Internet business, but she's the one who truly lives, eat, and breathes computers. I finally realized how bad it had gotten when I was scratching her back one day.
"No, not there," she directed. "Scroll down."
My wife never quite got the hang of the 24-hour military clock. One day she called the orderly room to speak with me. The person who answered told her to call me at the extension in the band rehearsal hall. "He can be reached at 4700, Ma'am," the soldier advised. With a sigh of exasperation, my wife responded, "And just what time is that?"
During "children's time" in the worship service, the kids came forward and the pastor, wanting to teach about prayer,asked, "How can we talk with God?"
The pastor produced paper and envelope and said, "Maybe we can write God a letter. Does anyone know God's address?"
The group said no.
Then the pastor pulled out his cell phone and said, "Maybe we can telephone God. Does anyone know God's phone number?"
The response was again negative.
Then the pastor displayed his lap top computer and said, "Maybe we can send God an e-mail!"
A little five-year-old enthusiastically said, "Yeah, try www-dot-God-dot-com!"
Service in the restaurant was abysmally slow. My husband was starting to flip out, so I tried to distract him with small talk. "You know," I said, "our friend Christi should be having her baby anytime now."
"Really?" my husband snapped. "She wasn't even pregnant when we walked in here."

A man entered my father's
diesel-repair shop, said he was a driver from a trucking fleet and suggested,
"How about adding a few extra parts to the bill for this truck repair? We'll
let the company pay for it, and you and I can split the difference."
Dad refused, but the customer was insistent.
"I come through here a lot," the man continued. "We could make quite a bit of money."
Dad said that wasn't how he operated.
"Everyone does it!" the man yelled. "Are you some kind of fool?"
Burning mad, Dad asked him to leave and take his business elsewhere.
Suddenly the man smiled and extended his hand for a handshake. "I own a trucking company," he said. "I've been looking for a mechanic I can trust, and I'm not taking my business anywhere else!"
Two young boys were spending the night at their grandparents. At bedtime, the two boys knelt beside their beds to say their prayers when the youngest one began praying at the top of his lungs.
"I PRAY FOR A NEW BICYCLE... I PRAY FOR A NEW NINTENDO... I PRAY FOR A NEW VCR..."
His older brother leaned
over and nudged the younger brother and said,
"Why are you shouting your prayers? God isn't deaf."
To which the little brother replied, "No, but Gramma is!"
Hey Doc! What's My Propblem?
Doctor: "Take the green
pill with a glass of water when you get up.
Take the blue pill with a glass of water after lunch.
Then just before going to bed, take the red pill with another glass of water."
Patient" "Exactly what's my problem, doc?"
Doctor: "You're not drinking enough water."
Billy Joe was in court
charged with parking his car in a restricted area.
The judge asked him if he had anything to say in his defense.
"They should not put up
