Hiya Godflute2, sounds like you've got everyone's crocheting juices happenin!
Im another crocheting addict, and there are plenty of us here in oz. I was self taught, then discovered there was more to it than just doing big granny square rugs, and went to a local craft group at the Baptist here. They call it "HI-Time". Thats how I come back to God actually... but anyway that's another story....

I have big heaps of patterns, so if you're looking for one in particular, give me a yell... etc Some are in american wording, others, English/Australian. little bit different... same result.

The net is definately the place to go for something different and bulk inspiration and motivation too!!! Only thing is you tend to end up with a number of unfinished projects too

How's that scarf going Beetlequeendiva?

Thank you Godflute for the instructions (almost typed recipe cause i cook alot!!) I really appreciate it!!!

Ladyavalon - I have not started the scarf yet; we had a Christian event this weekend so we had a whole load of young people here!!! I will very probably start it soon!! I'll let you all know

 

[GodFlute2]

It was no problem getting the pattern.

Please, you can just call me Flute.

You should check out the thread on Prayer Shawls. I got a fire lit under me, and just started one. I haven't crocheted regularly since I had kids, but I used to make doilies all the time, with an afghan thrown in once in a while!

 

[GodFlute2]

Cool.

i love to crochet, i learned how to knit when i was in forth grade and i learned how to crochet two years ago. Ahh i have made so many scarfs....it seems that is the best thing i make...it's not to complex. My blanket...i've been working on since i started, it will get done someday I'm on MSN mainly if you want to talk

 

[GodFlute2]

Welcome. I'm working on a blanket right now.

 

[beetlequeendiva]

Hi roggel!!! Welcome!!!

Well i am still confused about the scarf!!! I don't even know how to start crochet - i got someone else to start my blanket

 

[GodFlute2]

Are you having trouble with the abbreviations?

 

[LostnFound]

What REALLY helped me, when doing doilies, was a pattern mag I found in a store (I think it was Magic Crochet) that uses diagrams, as well as written instructions. I am much more visual, and it made it very easy for me. Maybe you can find something like that.

 

[beetlequeendiva]

Well i'd probably beable to get on with it if i could figure out how to start - part of the problem is alot of instructions are american not british which doesn't really help me being from britain - LOL

 

[GodFlute2]

oh, sorry, I don't think I can help with that. But what's diffeent about them?

Hi' I crochet in my spare time my first afghan,turned in to a Queen size bedspread,
that was in 1971 and I just added on to it this winter and made it into a kingsize
bedspread ,and it's still just like new they last for ever.I have made about twenty
in between time and house shoes,baby bootie's.Hat's scarf's:Baby Afghan's.

 

[GodFlute2]

Interesting, Lol.

I did not realize there was a whole lot of difference between, but I am speaking out of ignorance most likely. I know we have numbers or letters assigned to our hooks vs actual size in milimeters. Could you tell me about the British variation then perhaps some of us americans can help you a bit more.

 

[GodFlute2]

I'd like to know a bit more as well.

I never knit anymore,Love to crochet.I do it daily..finished a blanket,now on to another one for a birthday gift.Its all in the colors of the ocean.Crochet is a great stress reliever! I just learned in Feb too.

 

[GodFlute2]

"Stress reliever" Amen to that, well, for me anyways. My brother's just learning and keeps making the same mistake. I think it causes stress for him. Hopfully he'll figure this out doon and can have fun with it.

 

[LostnFound]

My boys are actually learning, too! Here's a kicker for you... my mother teaches her middle school students to crochet and allows them to do it in class when they are done with their work, or need stress relief!!!
