GENERAL NEWS
Dear Subscriber:
I receive emails from time to time referring to patterns that aren't my designs.
While I'm happy to assist with any crochet pattern, I want to make sure you understand that patterns I design for my site (Crochet N More) will have a URL (web address)
that begins with:
http://www.crochetnmore.com/
I rarely give permission for my patterns to be re-posted to other sites.
I do partner with a few sites and allow those sites include links to my pattern pages.
So, you may see a link to one of my designs in a newsletter along with links to other designers' work also.
We finally have cooler weather here. I love autumn!
Makes me want to curl up in my chair with my crocheting
and a good hot cup of coffee.

QUESTION:
Subject: copyright information
The link for the copyright information was non existant when I tried to find some information. I am wanting to know if I may make some items (such as the handlepotholder) and sell them at a church bazaar. I have made many of these and have given them away, but never sold any. Any money made would go directly to the church.
Thank you in advance.
Rachel Funderburk (Crocheter in NC)
ANSWER:
Thank you for letting me know about the broken link... I will add that to
my to-do list.
You have permission to use my patterns to make items for gifts OR to sell for profit (for your church or for your personal gain). Keep in mind that not all patterns on the Crochetnmore website are my designs. Some patterns are contributed by other designers.
Thanks for asking and I wish you much success with your church bazaar.

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
"It is one of the beautiful compensations of this life that
no one can sincerely try to help another without helping
himself.
~~ Charles Dudley Warner
~~
In Thee, O Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be ashamed; in Thy righteousness deliver me. Incline Thine ear to me, rescue me quickly; be Thou to me a rock of strength, a stronghold to save me. For Thou art my rock and my fortress; for Thy name's sake Thou wilt lead me and guide me. Thou wilt pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me; for Thou art my strength. Into Thy hand I commit my spirit; Thou hast ransomed me, O Lord, God of truth. I hate those who regard vain idols; but I trust in the Lord. I will rejoice and be glad in Thy lovingkindness, because Thou hast seen my affliction; Thou hast known the troubles of my soul, and Thou hast not given me over into the hand of the enemy; Thou hast set my feet in a large place. Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eye is wasted away from grief, my soul and my body also. For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength has failed because of my iniquity, and my body has wasted away. Because of all my adversaries, I have become a reproach. Especially to my neighbors, and an object of dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street flee from me. I am forgotten as a dead man, out of mind, I am like a broken vessel. For I have heard the slander of many, terror is on every side; while they took counsel together against me, they schemed to take away my life. But as for me, I trust in Thee, O Lord, I say, "Thou art my God." My times are in Thy hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
Psalm 31:1-15
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
Romans 8:18
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28
"WHEN GOD PERMITS SUFFERING
HE ALSO PROVIDES COMFORT."
This quote is from Our Daily Bread - September, 2011 Issue
Be careful the environment you choose, for it will
shape you; be careful the friends you choose, for
you will become like them. - W. Clement Stone
"For
where two or three have gathered
together in My name, there I am
in their midst."

CROCHET STITCH or TECHNIQUE
(A
different crochet stitch and/or tip featured in each issue...
to be added later to the Crochet Basics page)
CROCHETING BETWEEN STITCHES
Normally when you make a crochet stitch you work into both loops, the front loop or the back loop of a stitch. When a pattern instructs you to crochet between stitches you place your stitches between the posts of the indicated stitches. This technique changes the texture of the project.

Crochet an ornament or a fridgie to use as Christmas package topper.
I have special handmade ornaments that were given to me by kids from my daughter's school and kids from my Sunday school class. I use these on our tree each year and it's nice to remember each child as we decorate the tree.

RE: Table Runner
Please can you help me i do not understand the second row off the table runner?
R3: Ch3, turn. Dc in ea dc. 2dc in ea ch-2 sp. across.
I am new to crocheting and would like your help .
Thank you
Sincerely Jayne Toms
<< reply >>
>>R3: Ch3, turn. Dc in ea dc. 2dc in ea ch-2 sp. across.
This means you chain 3 and then turn the work over so you
can work back down the row you just finished. Now Work one
double crochet stitch into each double crochet on Row 2...
and place 2 double crochet stitches in each chain 2 space...
(a chain 2 space is the hole beneath 2 chains).
RE: How Many Chains for Baby Hat
I want to know how many chain stiches do I need for a newborn hat????????
I always start a hat from the bottom and work my way nto the top.
Thanks
Marion
Richmond, Va.
<< reply >>
The number of stitches needed to begin a newborn hat depends on
the hook size and yarn you are using.
Baby hats can measure anywhere from 5-1/2” - 7-1/2” when laid
flat and measured across the brim.
So, taking into account the hook and yarn you choose, your first
round should fall within those measurements.
RE: Baby Headband
I have a question. The new Baby Headband that you have on your site shows a pink and white flower. The instructions are for only pink (Strawberry Stripes); am I missing something? I don't have that particular yarn handy. Does it have a real long color change? Do I have to make sure to start the yarn when making the flower at the white part? I think the flower is real cute. Thank you for your help. Darlene
<< reply >>
The flower uses Strawberry Stripes yarn which is a pink and white variegated
yarn with fairly long color changes. You can use any color you want for the
flower. I just thought that yarn made a cute flower. You could use white for the
first round of the flower and a color for the second round... that would be
pretty also.
Hello Lisa; can you help with this piece of work; I don’t under stand the instructions; I don’t understand what [ means?
Upper Edging: Ch 1, sc in first dc, work 3 sc in first ch-4 space, [sc in next dc, work 3 sc in next ch-4 space] 3 (4, 5) times; * ch 2, dc in next ch-4 space, ch 4 (strap space), dc in next ch-4 space, ch 2 *; repeat [ to ] 7 (8, 9) times; repeat * to * once for second strap space; repeat [ to ] to last ch-space, end last repeat, work 3 sc in turning ch
Many thanks for your help
Barbara lee
<< reply >>
Brackets, asterisks and other symbols are used in patterns to
feature or set off a set of instructions to be referred to later on.
Symbols are used to keep the crochet pattern as short as possible.
For your Upper Edging instructions do this:
Chain 1
single crochet in the first double crochet
work 3 single crochets in the first chain-4 space
[single crochet in the next double crochet, work 3 single crochets in the next chain-4 space] 3 (4, 5) times
NOTE: just after the closing bracket specifies how many times for a particular size (the part I wrote in bold type)
If you are making the first size you work the instructions within the brackets 3 times...
4 times in all for the middle size and 5 times for the larger size.
Now your pattern has an asterisk
*
chain 2
double crochet in the next chain-4 space
chain 4 (strap space)
double crochet in the next chain-4 space
chain 2
*
Now you repeat the instructions between your brackets either 7, 8 or 9 times depending on the size you’re making.
then Repeat the instructions between the two asterisks once to make the second strap space.
Repeat the instructions between the brackets until you get to the last chain space.
End the last repeat and work 3 single crochets in the turning chain.
hi, wonder instructions. i was looking at your pattern for a water bottle cover. you say go into the hemp stitch what is that?? thanks!
Sharon
<< 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.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I am new at crocheting. I am trying to crochet a nubby dishcloth. The pattern says
Row 1: Ch 26 in 2nd ch from hook and across (25) okay I get this
Row 2 Ch1 turn *Sc in first st, tr in next. Repeat from * across ending with sc. (in my words this creates the nubby part of the stitch as the treble is much taller but it seems to pull on the stitches when doing the single crochet)
Row3 ch3, turn *Sc in tr; tr in next sc . Repeat from * across ending with tr. (Very confused, where in those stitches do I insert the needle)
<< reply >>
Row 1: Ch 26 in 2nd ch from hook and across (25) okay I get this
great
Row 2: Ch1 turn *Scin first st, tr in next. Repeat from * across ending with sc. (in my words this creates the nubby part of the stitch as the treble is much taller but it seems to pull on the stitches when doing the single crochet)
you are correct... the treble crochet being taller than the single crochet will make a little nub or bump in the fabric.
Row3: ch3, turn *Sc in tr; tr in next sc . Repeat from * across ending with tr. (Very confused, where in those stitches do I insert the needle)
You place the hook into both loops of each stitch... placing a single in each treble and a treble in each single.
The last stitch you work is a treble in the last single. This will keep the bumpy look to the fabric.
Can I sell the finished product like the bible covers?
I know I can't sell the pattern just wondered if I can sell the finished product .
Thank you
Jennifer Meyer
<< reply >>
Yes... you may make items using my patterns to sell.

Does anyone know how to work with a Haiawatha loom (one of those flower making looms from the 60's-70's)? I found my mother's and it's got 36 repositional pegs).

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.

"Laughter is an instant vacation." - Milton Berle
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
A woman meant to call a record store, but dialed
the wrong number and got a private home instead.
"Do you have 'Eyes of Blue' and 'A Love Supreme?'"
she asked.
"Well, no," answered the puzzled homeowner. "But
I have a wife and eleven children."
"Is that a record?" the caller inquired, puzzled
in her turn.
"I don't think so," replied the man, "but it's as
close as I want to get."
At the outpatient surgery center where I work, the anesthesiologist
often chatted with patients before their operations to help them
relax.
One day he thought he recognized a woman as a co-worker at the VA
hospital where he had trained.
When the patient confirmed that his hunch was correct, he said,
"So, tell me, is the food still as bad there as it used to be?"
"Well, I suppose," she replied, "I'm still cooking it."
I used to live near a major university.
Every fall, the new flock of kids attending college always
included some who needed a little help with everyday chores,
due to never having really done any while they lived at home.
Things like doing the laundry, or purchasing groceries.
One day at the grocery store, I was in the dairy aisle, picking
out some eggs. As I usually did, I opened the carton to check
them over for damage before putting them in my cart. That's when
I noticed the young man beside me, mimicking my every move.
When he saw I had noticed him, he leaned toward me and whispered
conspiratorially, "What are we looking for?"
A newsboy was standing on the corner with a stack
of papers, yelling, "Read all about it. Fifty people
swindled! Fifty people swindled!"
Curious, a man walked over, bought a paper, and checked
the front page. Finding nothing, the man said, "There's
nothing in here about fifty people being swindled.
"
The newsboy ignored him and went on, calling out,
"Read all about it. Fifty-one people swindled!"
My girlfriend took her five-year-old daughter shopping with
her. The little girl watched her mother try on outfit after
outfit, exclaiming every time, "Mommy, you look beautiful."
A woman in the next fitting room called out, "May I borrow
your daughter for a moment?"
Long, unproductive meetings are often the bane
of corporate life. My very funny boss at the
software company where I work has come up
with what just might be the perfect way to cut
business conferences short before they start
rambling out of control. There comes a time
when he announces,
"All those opposed to my plan say,
'I resign.'" End of meeting.
One day a little girl came home from school and said to her
mother, "Mommy, today in school I was punished for something
that I didn't do."
The mother exclaimed, "But that's terrible! I'm going to
have a talk with your teacher about this ... by the way,
what was it that you didn't do?"
The little girl replied, "My homework."
A little boy asked his dad for a dollar to give to
a little old lady in the park.
His father, impressed by his son’s kindness, gave
him the dollar.
“There you are my son,” said the father. “But, tell
me, isn’t the little lady able to work any more?
“She sells candy” was the boy’s reply.
When the U.S. Mint reissued two-dollar bills, I thought
they might someday become collectors' items. I went to
the bank and picked up a hundred, serially numbered and
still in their original band. On my next trip to my
parents' house, I gave the $200 to my mother and said,
"Take good care of these. They might be worth something
someday."
Several months later I asked Mom if she was keeping
the two-dollar bills safe. "Oh, yes!" she replied.
"I deposited them in the bank the day after you left."
Over dinner, I explained the health benefits of a colorful
meal to my family. "The more colors, the more variety of
nutrients," I told them. Pointing to our food, I asked,
"How many different colors do you see?"
"Six," volunteered my daughter. "Seven if you count the
burned parts."
A tired mom opened the front door of her home to find
a young minister from the neighborhood who said, "I'm
collecting donations for the new children's home we're
building. I hope you'll give what you can."
"To be sure," said the beleaguered woman, "I'll give
you two boys, two girls, OR one of each."
Our Lamaze class included a tour of the pediatric wing of
the hospital. When a new baby was brought into the nursery,
all the women tried to guess its weight, but the guy
standing next to me was the only male to venture a number.
"Looks like 9 pounds," he offered confidently.
"This must not be your first," I said.
"Oh, yes," he said. "It's my first."
"Then how would you know the weight of a baby?" I asked.
He shrugged. "I'm a fisherman."
