| Jan, 11, 2006 I'm back. I took a long hiatus from crocheting. Boy, was I silly. My family moved from Kentucky to Missouri back in August. I just lost my job, so my husband is having to quit school to go back to work. I was working 10-14 hours a day. It's been brutal. I've prayed alot, but didn't crochet. There is something about finishing a project and being proud that raises your self esteem. I've missed it. Crochet has been like an old friend that you are very comfortable with. Ok, that's too deep. Let's just say, life's a little easier when you are crocheting. . I STILL need help. If you know any of these stitches, feel free to write a page. I will proof it for ease of understanding and give you full credit for your work. Afghan or tusani stitch Picot Trinity stitch A rose pattern the wave pattern your way of putting grannies together long double stitch anything I may be missing Remember, this is a free website, all information is to be free and available for printing. If you want to use it in classes, just make sure that I am properly cited and notified Thanks Enjoy life, learn to crochet. Snowy |
