Seriously, PwrFemme - I learned how to crochet entirely from YouTube tutorials! One stitch at at time and then eventually putting them together. There are tutorials for everything! Now, just from practicing, I can read a written pattern as well.

Just finished two Tunisian crochet scarves and now whipping up a lapghan!

I have crochet magazines with great patterns. If anybody want any of them PM me with an email and I will scan and send!

Happy New Year Hookers and Purlers! I'm taking an intentional break from hooking as I was needing to go for massages on a weekly basis! lolol Anyhow, I did post some regular sized photos in an album of some of my creations that I made through the fall.

How is everyone doing? For those in the wild weather areas .... are you all settled in with your hook or needles?? I know that's what I would be doing.

Have a great weekend!

lol, I love to crochet.

I taught myself, so naturally, the only stitch I've ever learned is the chain stitch. I can do it beautifully, though; damn it and I have about 4 or 5 "blankets" (all striped, of course; since I can only chain stitch, lmao) that would do best as scarves since it takes about 5 million years to make anything wider than a scarf with that one tiny stitch.

Maybe I will stitch all my stripes together and get a mismatched, really long and not very wide blanket. It'll be like one of those Snuggies. Except without arms. Because, you know; I dont know how to do armholes, lmao.

I'm a hooker myself! I sorta taught myself, my mom is left handed. Everything she tries to teach me is backwards! However, she is the master knitter and wants me to be one. For the life of me, I can't read patterns. So what ever I do, goes back and forth. Scarves and blankets is all I do. The chain stitch, HugeSmile, is a beautiful thing.

Garlands, belts, and the like! If you were my neighbor, I'd show you how to turn and then you wouldn't be heading in the straight direction...lol

Yes, still talking about yarn

lmao, you should move to Florida and we'll be hookers together! I'm a lefty, though; just like your mom. Conversely, I could chain stitch a color clear across the Gulf and when it reaches you, you simply switch colors and send it back across.

As much as I love *ahem...hooking, lol, I am really trying to get proficient with my sewing. Design is where my real passion lies.

Thank you for the encouragement!

Dearest Okiebug61.... what sorts of patterns do you have? Which magazines? I'm looking for shawl patterns. Or pretty snowflake patterns.

This has probably already been discussed on here. If so, sorry to bring up an old topic.

Is anyone else on Ravelry? I'm a huge fan of that site, been on there almost since I started crocheting.
My sn there is WintersGift.
