WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
“What He said He would do He always did,
and the things we already see fulfilled in His Word
simply remind us that what He said about the future
will take place just as surely.”
David Jeremiah,
Until Christ Returns:
Living Faithfully Today
While We Wait for
Our Glorious Tomorrow
You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you in order that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
Matthew 5:43-45
Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
Truly I say to you, whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst.
Matthew 18:18-20
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you, and will be in you.
John 14:12-17
And this is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, he hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for this. All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.
1 John 5:14-17
But we request of you, brethren, that you appreciate those who diligently labor among you, and have charge over you in the Lord and give you instruction, and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another. And we urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with all men. See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all men. Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:12-18
"WE PRAY NOT TO OBTAIN OUR WILL IN HEAVEN,
BUT TO EFFECT GOD'S WILL ON EARTH
."

Hi,
I would like to see instructions on how to do inside corners in
both single crochet and double crochet.
Thank you,
Judy
<< Reply >>
Thanks for writing.
I’m not sure what you mean by “inside corners”?
<< Judy's Reply >>
I am making a contour rug for my toilet. After I crochet the body of the rug I have to put extensions on both ends to go up and around the toilet. I am putting a border around the rug. This is a six-round border. I can do the outside corners, but the inside corners are confusing me. If you think of crocheting around a “T”, maybe you can see the picture.
Thank you,
Judy
<< Lisa's Reply >>
Now I understand...
when working around a crocheted piece for outside corners we always add extra stitches to make the turn.
When working within the inside of a 90 degree angle you need to omit stitches... you can do this by skipping
one or more stitches (this leaves a hole)
OR
by working a decrease over 2 or more stitches in the “inside corner”.
----
To work a single crochet decrease over two stitches do this:
Insert hook in next stitch, draw up a loop, (two loops on hook),
insert hook in next stitch, draw up a loop (3 loops on hook),
Yarn over and draw through all 3 loops.
----
To work a double crochet decrease over two stitches do this:
Work a double crochet in the first stitch without completing the very last step (leave the last two loops on the hook),
then double crochet in the next stitch without completing the last step. You should have three loops on the hook.
Yarn over and draw through all the loops. Decrease made.
I would love to see a picture when you finish.

Thank you for everything you do.
I have have resubmitted my new email address for your newletter.
Is there a central location accepting items for survivors of Storm Sandy?
thank you

Thank you so much for signing the Crochet N More Guestbook!
I’ve seen many news articles listing various drop-off locations for items
for Hurricane Sandy Victims but many of those have discontinued collecting
material items. The American Red Cross is taking monetary donations:

When making a monetary donation be sure to specify that you want it to
go to Hurricane Sandy Victims.

Hello,
My pattern states:
DC next 5 ch sps together, ch 1. - can you please explain.
Thank you so much.
*Bonny
<< reply >>
>>>DC next 5 ch sps together, ch 1.
This means you will work a double crochet decrease over the next 5 chain spaces.
Do this.... work one double crochet in each chain space without completing the
very last step of each double crochet stitch. You should end up with 6 loops on
your hook... now yarn over and draw through all 6 loops to complete the decrease.
Now chain 1

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!
Comment:
You as well Lisa!
Your doggie sweater has been such a wonderful pattern for me to play with over the years. You posted 4 pics of my dog Padiee about 4-5 years ago. Well, she is now older and heavier and I've had to tweak it again. I also have 2 Shihtzu's now that wear sweaters and I can't wait to show you what I've worked up so you can post it on your website!! This pattern is so easy to work with. I've documented how I've made them so hopefully others can make sweaters for their babies. Happy Holidays!

RE: How to Crochet - Tips about Baby's ABC's Afghan
Comments:
Beautiful blanket....i have questions though....the graph pattern, is it like doing filet crochet? I know how to do filet crochet. But i dont know how to change colors that good. Im afraid to start a project then it comes out that i have been doing it wrong all along. Please help if u can. Thank you so much. adele
<< reply >>
This graph is not filet crochet... and you can make the entire afghan using only one color. I've made many of these in one solid color before and they are very nice. Each square on the graph is either a single crochet stitch or a single crochet puff stitch.. you just follow the graph working the indicated stitches. Hope this helps.

RE: How to Crochet - Loop Stitch
Comment:
Thank you so much...I'm making a Koala that requires this stitch for the inner ear and I couldn't figure out how to complete the stitch from the instructions given in the book. Thanks again, your way is so much simpler.

You're very welcome... glad the video helped!
RE: Read A Pattern
I picked up a free scarf recipe to make for a secret santa gift...on the pattern, it says: row 1 (right side): DC in 4th and 5th ch from hook, *ch5, sk 5chs, dc in next 3 chs; Repeat from * across, turn-24 ch-5 spaces.
Now...I'm pretty sure it means double crocet in the 4th and 5th chains from my hook (on the foundation chain), [then to chain 5, skip 5 chains, double crochet in the next 3 chains] and repeat across, but the turn -25 ch -5 has me REALLY confused...what am I supposed to do? Turn the work and basically begin row 2???
Thanks so much for your time!

Elizabeth Ann Harpster
<< reply >>
You are correct about the double crochet.
turn-24 ch-5 spaces
means you turn the work at the end of the row in order
to proceed with the instructions for the next row.
the part that says 24 ch-5 spaces is a reference only...
you know you did the row correctly if you have 24 spaces
where you made 5 chains on that row.
Kind
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.

"Laughter is an instant vacation." - Milton Berle
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Teacher: George, go to the map and find North America.
George: Here it is.
Teacher: Correct. Now, class, who discovered America?
Class: George.
A freshman in high school brought home his class picture to his mom.
She asked him to write something soft and mushy on the back of it.
So he wrote "Oatmeal."
Each year, Sam and Sarah went to the state fair, where Sam would ask Sarah to take a ride with him in an open biplane for $10. But each year, Sarah would refuse, saying, "Ten dollars is $10."
Finally, after several years of this, the pilot offered to take them for a ride for free if neither of them would say a word during the flight.
Sam and Sarah agreed, and off they flew as the pilot took them through loops, spins and dives. They never said a word.
As they landed, the pilot said over his shoulder to Sam, "I thought for sure you'd say something with all the maneuvers I did."
"I should have said something when Sarah fell out," Sam replied. "But $10 is $10."
Pupil: The flight to Egypt. See, that’s Mary, Joseph, Jesus and Pontius, the pilot.
Teacher: Who can tell me what a “mystery” is?
Pupil: A mystery is when someone colors on the table, but no one knows who did it.
Driving along in the car one day, listening to music, Carol, a mother of two, was delighted when one of her favorite tunes came on the radio. Getting into the rhythm and dancing around in her seat to the beat of the music, she turned to her husband and said, "Hey remember the days when we used to go clubbing? We should do it again sometime."
In the back of the car, the couple's teenage daughter began making retching noises. "Ugh - you two? Going to a club? You've got to be kidding! You're far too old...Everyone would just stare at you!"
"Come on," said Carol, "It doesn't have to be a club for teenagers. There must be places for people of our 'slightly more mature years' to go."
"Yeah, there is," said the daughter. "It's called Bingo!"
A 6-year old boy asked his mother if it's true that God made man from dust.
"Yes, son, it's true that we're made from dust, and to dust we shall return," replied his mom.
"Well," said the boy, "I just looked under my bed, and there's someone either coming or going."
Little Johnny returned from his first time riding the bus from school. His mother asked him who the bus driver was, and he proudly stated that it was Elmer Gency. Knowing full well that wasn’t the bus driver’s name, she asked Johnny again.
“But, Mom, I know that’s right,” said Johnny. “It was written right on the back door of the bus:
E-M-E-R-G-E-N-C-Y.”
I had finished my Christmas shopping early and had wrapped all the presents. Having two curious children, I had to find a suitable hiding place. I chose an ideal spot—the furnace room. I stacked the presents and covered them with a blanket, positive they'd remain undiscovered.
When I went to get the gifts to put them under the tree, I lifted the blanket and there, stacked neatly on top of my gifts, were presents addressed to "Mom and Dad, From the Kids."
Our son and his wife took their two children to the store to see Santa Claus. However, when it was time for three-year-old, Maude to go up and talk to Santa, she became shy and wouldn't go.
Several times, Santa asked her to come to him, but
she refused. Finally, he asked, "Would you like a
present?"
"Yes" Maude replied.
"Can you come get it?" Santa asked.
Maude thought about this for a moment, then said, "Can you throw it?"
As a club owner, I had hired a drummer and
a piano player to entertain my customers. After
several evenings of performances, I discovered
that the drummer had walked away with some of
my valuables.
I notified the police and he was subsequently hauled off to jail.
Desperate for another drummer on short notice, I called a friend who knew some musicians.
"What happened to the drummer you had?" he asked.
"I had him arrested," I replied.
There was a pause on the other end of the phone.
"How badly did he play?"
A gushy reporter told Jack Nicklaus,
"You are spectacular, your name is
synonymous with the game of golf.
You really know your way around the course. What's your secret?"
Nicklaus replied, "The holes are numbered!"
Not expecting to do well on the economics exam, Bill was heartened by the first question: In any given year, and to the nearest ton, how much wheat did the United States export?
Smiling confidently, he wrote, "In 1492, none."
