QUESTION:
RE: Christmas Clothespin Angels pattern
I am after one crochet clothespin angel pattern by Anne Halliday.Here is the proper name.
Christmas Clothespin Angels to Crochet (Leisure Arts Leaflet #2518)
Halliday Anne. There are 6 designs but I am after the pink one in the middle on the front cover. Many thanks and here's hoping.
Desperate
ANSWER:
I found a copy of this leaflet available for purchase online:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-1994-Christmas-Clothespin-Angels-Crochet-Pattern-Leaflet-5-Designs-2518-/200695328556
However, the seller wants $12.74 for the leaflet which they purchased for only $2.68. I'm sure the inflated price is due to the leaflet no longer being in print.
You can find free crochet patterns for Clothespin Angels here:

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
When things are bad, we take comfort
in the thought that they could always get worse.
And when they are, we find hope
in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.
~~ Malcolm Forbes ~~
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth with all the saints who are throughout Achaia: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ. But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer; and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that as you are sharers of our sufferings, so also you are sharers of our comfort.
2 Corinthians 1:1-7
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does nto know God, for God is love. By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has beheld God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:7-15
But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, and remain until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the turmpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
"GOD'S WHISPER OF COMFORT
HELPS QUIET THE NOISE OF OUR TRIALS."
This quote is from Our Daily Bread - September, 2012 Issue

CROCHET STITCH or TECHNIQUE
(A
different crochet stitch and/or tip featured in each issue...
to be added later to the Crochet Basics page)
FOUNDATION SINGLE CROCHET (FSC)
For any project that requires a foundation row of all single crochets you can use Foundation Single Crochets. In other words, instead of making a series of chain stitches and then working a single crochet into each chain you work a series of FSC stitches.
To begin a Foundation Single Crochet row, Chain 2.
Insert hook into the second chain from the hook
yarn over and draw a loop through (2 lps on hk)
chain 1
(2 lps still on hk)
yarn over and draw through two loops to finish the foundation single crochet.
*
Insert hook into last chain made, yarn over and draw a loop through. (2 lps on hk)
Chain 1. (2 lps still on hk)
Yarn over and draw through two loops to finish the foundation single crochet.
Repeat from the asterisk * for as many stitches as you need for your project.

encyclopedia of knitting and crochet facts"
http://www.lionbrand.com/faq/learnToCrochet.pdf
Take a look:
http://www.allfreecrochet.com/Crochet-Designer/Lisa-Hamblin-Crochet-Designer
If you find that your turning chains along the edge of your project causes the edge to be uneven try making one less chain each time to help even out the edge. (i.e. instead of ch3 for a double crochet, try a ch2.)

Subject: pattern question
Hi there,
I'm working on the Cross Stitch Toilet Tissue Cover
and finished round 5 but am stuck on round 6.
I was also wondering about round 3 when it says
'don't be alarmed, this round ruffles'.
As you can see from the picture I attached the one on the
right seems like it is ruffling too much.
The one on the left is my version because I had never worked with plastic rings
and wanted to try the pattern without it.
I think I get the concept of the cross stitch but am worried
that it won't start curling downward.
Is the cross stitch made when you make one dc and then
another dc behind it, in the stitch you skipped ?
Thank you for any help you can offer me.
Denise M. Ballard
<< reply >>
Round 3 ruffles... but that is part of the overall design.
The sample in your photo on the right is fine.
You can work this pattern without the ring as you did
in the sample on the left in your photo but it will make
the cover smaller... you may be able to use it with smaller rolls
of tissue.
You are correct about the cross stitches... the double crochets
“cross” when you skip one stitch, work a double, then back up
and work another double in the skipped stitch.
The sides of the cover will form as you continue the pattern.
RE: Post on the Crochetnmore Fan Page
"Is there a way to determine how much yarn is needed when doing a project and the instructions don't specify? I have a 2oz skein of yarn and don't know if it is enough to make a beanie."
Stacy Justchilling
Comments:
I always look for a similar pattern and see how much yarn it takes. I made this beanie for my daughter: http://www.caron.com/vickiehowell/patterns/urban_jungle/urban_jungle.html and it took 3-1/2 ounces.
Crochetnmore

OK, 2oz is probably not enough. I bought a couple of small skeins that I saw at a thrift store and was just wondering what I can make with it. Thanks for the advice and the pattern. Cute hat!
Stacy Justchilling
RE: Post on the Crochetnmore Fan Page
If I see a pattern that requires bulky yarn (hats and scarfs) and I use regular (worsted) yarn, would I have to adjust it?
Stacy Justchilling
Comments:
For a scarf... probably not because the overall size wouldn't differ very much... but for a hat, yes.

What advice would you give them?
Comments:
Patience and practice are 2 things you need the most. :)
Cheryl Owens

Relax, enjoy. Start with something simple that you would want and work up from there. Remember, when learning to walk, you had to stumble but then you were soon able to walk and run.
Jarra Poe
---
take your time and do something small and simple also to find all the stitch as you go videos on the internet they r so helpful. To ask as many questions as needed often
Katherine Harris
---
for the new Learners just learning: use your favorite color for your hook and favorite color yarn but in variegated colors, but must be 2 different colors example green for the hook, pinks variegated colors for the yarn.
If they been at it for a while now: always use a different color hook then what color your crocheting with.
Crochet or knit something small like a scarf or wash rag or dish rag, it will be fast and you'll feel like oh yea I can do this. IF you start off with something big, you will fell like you'll never get it finished. start small.

Sally Lane

Don't be worried if you hold your hook differently that most people do {I hold mine like I knit, instead of more like a pencil}. Don't give up when learning to read patterns - they are a lot simpler than people make them sound! Lastly, have fun. Experiment and enjoy. Learning a new craft should be fun and relaxing, not stressful and tiring.
Britta Sobota
---
Don't make the stitches too tight because it will make it hard to work the next row/round. If you are still making your stitches too tight, use a slightly larger size hook.
Julie McCarty

Stop while you still can! You will get addicted!
Martine Bouman

RELAX, the harder it is to stitch the more stressed you are so relax it should be fluid easy smooth RELAX

I would advice them not to rush. To learn each stitch at a time and practice over and over until they get one stitch down pat before they move on to the other. For example, if they are learning sc, to practice with swatches till they can make them evenly and neat, that will be basis for them to later on be able to get into more complicated things. And I would encourage them not to give up!

Hi, I love the emma booty. I finished the first booty, I hope I’ve made it right...so is there openings on each side between the heel and the instep? Thank you!
Lori
<< reply >>
I’m glad you enjoyed the pattern.
The openings are part of the design.
The heel and toe of this bootie are not joined until the
Finishing section. The ribbon is weaved through the holes
on R5 of the Heel and the ch4 loops on each side of the
toe then drawn up and tied in a bow. This joins them.
I have been on your website for crochet patterns (I'm still learning) and just read your testimony. I LOVED it, isn't God good? I have known Him since I was 7 and have witnessed many blessings from Him too. Just wanted to let you know. And as I say to many of the Christians I meet, "See ya' in Heaven".

RE: CROCHET N MORE NEWSLETTER Vol. XV, Issue 16
Lisa, as always I enjoy every newsletter so very much. This time I was successful in getting my cranky computer to let me view one of your tutorial videos. You do such a nice job--and it doesn't hurt that I enjoy your accent so much. A touch of home for me. My sweet cousin visited me from Kentucky last month (I live in Silicon Valley CA) and we had such a wonderful time together. Keep up the good work. I look forward to the next one. You are a peach. Thanks so very much.

"Laughter is an instant vacation." - Milton Berle
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
When my wife quit work to take care of our new baby daughter, countless hours of peekaboo and other games slowly took their toll.
One evening she smacked her bare toes on the corner of a dresser and, grabbing her foot, sank to the floor. I rushed to her side and asked where it hurt.
She looked at me through tear-filled eyes and managed to moan, "It's the piggy that ate roast beef."
A gentleman entered a busy florist shop that displayed
a large sign that read “Say It with Flowers.”
“Wrap up one rose” he told the florist.
“Only one?” the florist asked.
“Just one,” the customer replied, “I’m a man of few
words.”
At a small zoo, visitors often ignored the many large
signs that said, "Don't feed the animals!"
The zookeeper did not want to impose fines so he tried
a different approach. He posted signs saying, "Feed the
animals for only twenty dollars!" and suddenly no one
wanted to.
Little Jonny thanked his grandmother for the
set of drums she bought him for his birthday.
"They're the best present I've ever had,"
he said. "They've already made me $10."
"Wow!" said the grandmother. "You must
have learned to play them real good!"
"Not really," said the boy. "But Mom gave
me $5 not to play during the day, and
Dad gave me $5 not to play at night."
A three-year-old was helping wrap a present for her father.
While they were wrapping, her mother kept reminding her
daughter about keeping the present a secret so it would be
a surprise. After the present was wrapped, she proudly put
it under the tree.
When her father came home he saw the present immediately.
He asked the little girl, "What is it?"
"I can't tell." she said proudly, with a look towards mom.
"It's a surprise."
"Can I shake it and guess what's inside?" asked Dad.
"No," she replied, "shirts don't rattle."
I was watching a British detective story on TV. The
local group was gathering in their hunting best for
a fox hunt. In the opening scene my nine-year-old
daughter wanted to know what the people were doing,
noticing the formal hunting outfits and well groomed
horses.
I replied that they were looking for a fox.
There was a short stunned silence and then she asked:
"Is it a very important fox?"
A teacher sees a lad entering the classroom – his hands
were dirty.
She stopped him and said, “John, please wash your
hands. My goodness, what would you say if I came
into the room with hands like that?”
Smiling the boy replied, “I think I’d be too polite to
mention it.”
My puppy chewed the tongue on one of my new, expensive
running shoes. I hoped to save my investment, so I took
them to a shoe repair shop. I placed the shoes on the
counter and told the man, "My dog got hold of this."
The repairman picked up the shoe, looked it over, and
placed it back down on the counter.
"Well, what do you recommend?" I asked.
He looked at me and replied, "Give your dog the other
shoe."
Rummaging through her attic one day, my friend Carol found an old shotgun. Unsure how to dispose of it, she called her parents.
"Take it to the police station," her mother suggested. My friend was about to hang up when her mom added....
"And, Carol?"
"Yes, mom?"
"Call them first and let them know you're coming."
I guess you can get too health conscious...
As a family, we don't keep "junk food" in the
house.
Once when my son was eating a snack at his grandparents' house, he asked his grandmother what vitamins they had in them.
She responded that she doubted there were any
at all.
He replied wide-eyed, "You mean these are just for fun?"
At the dog park, this elderly lady had two rather large Rottweiler dogs. On being asked the dogs' names by another park visitor she replied "This one is Timex, and the other is Rolex."
“Those are some strange names for dogs!” the visitor replied.
“Not at all,” the elderly dog owner smiled; "They’re watch dogs".
Kara announced to her family, "Tomorrow morning I'm
going to make an old-fashioned breakfast with eggs,
ham, biscuits and grits."
Five-year-old Jessica groaned, "But, Mommy, you know
I don't like eggs."
Kara then reminded Jessica of all the food the little
girl liked that contained eggs.
The next morning, when Jessica walked into the kitchen,
Kara said, "Since you are here first, you can decide
for the family. How do you want me to cook the eggs?"
Jessica answered, "In chocolate cake, please."
