[Celticflower]

Sorry 'bout that chief. Try this one http://www.crochetville.org/forum/


and scroll down to Original Patterns. Then scroll down that page to Beginner Baby Set.

I don't know why the direct link is not working--they have in the past.

 

[GodFlute2]

Lol. That is cute

Sorry--had a very busy weekend and still didn't get everything done. I did manage to eke out a bit of time to work on a lacy scarf done in baby sport yarn. Only have about 3 rows left on it. It is in the crochet Scarves on the Go book from Vogue Knitting. Nice book, but when I substitute yarns I have a tough time getting the gauge right. This scarf was written in fingering weight on an E so I figured the baby sport on a small hook would work. WRONG!! Wound up using an H to get the right size.

Today I have to put the rest of my livingroom back together--we bought some new (to us) furniture and had to move all my stuff from my corner. Now I have no place to put most of it because the furniture takes up more space than before .

Lol. We rearranged my siblings and my rooms. So I spent my weekend doing some similar things.

I'm starting a vest for mom. I'm hoping to get it done before her birthday. That way I can have her a preasent as well as show m work off.

I knew there was a reason I don't like following patterns. I have a tendency to change patterns to do what I want. (not always easy, but oh well)

I am a crocheter, and have been for many years. Yes, I think "crocheter" is a word.

Another list I am on was having a discussion about changing patterns (this was last year sometime). Anyway I posted about an afghan I was making using a pattern by Melissa Leapman, but I changed the color, the yarn weight, the hook size and added extra rows of singles on the ends instead of fringe. Melissa is on the list from time to time and she got a kick out of reading how I had adapted her pattern for my needs, but still called it hers.

Speaking of Ms. Leapman--I just got her Cool Crochet book yesterday and my daughter has picked out at least 3 things she wants me to make for her.

Welcome Trinket!

What are you working on?

Yes, I think "crocheter" is a word.

I agree, even if it isn't recognized outside of the crocheter's world.

Lol. I kinda figured it was, but I wasn't sure if webster recognized it or not.

Cool. My sister has me making like 12 thousand purses she wants me to make for her. I doubt I'll get to make them all for her, but what the hey.

12 thousand??

Does your sister have lots of friends or an Imelda Marcos-like obsession with purses?

 

[GodFlute2]

Ok, so it's more like 20, but still.

She's 7, an obsession with purses.

 

[Celticflower]

When will I learn NOT to let the kids into the crochet patterns?????

My son has picked a sweater (or 3) that he wants.

My daughter is absolutely drooling over 2 skirts and 2 dresses, not to mention the jacket and tops she wants.

But I want to make something for ME to wear

Celticflower, It's the crafter's blessing... we love what we do and other's do too, so we make it for them, and what is for ourselves gets done last ..... or never. I so understand!

 

[GodFlute2]

I can vouch for that. Lol.

 

[NorwayUnn]

crocheting is fun, and it is nice to see that the younger generation shows interest in this skill. good luck with your work!

 

[GodFlute2]

It's a ton of fun...which reminds me...I need to find out what size I need to make the vest I'm making for mom. Hm...
