Crocheters?

[BarbaraJean]

^can you get a different yarn?

That's what I was thinking. I really missed it when a nearby JoAnn's went out of business. I should have bought up a bunch of yarn they had for $1/skein.

What kind of yarn are you? Take the quiz:

I've never tried it. Have you?

I've done lots of filet pieces. Currently I have the 5th Easter egg filet doily to finish, a gold Chinese dragon started and about 4 other pieces I want to do and frame for Christmas. One of my favorites is a cross and descending dove that I did twice last spring and framed them both. One hangs on my wall by the front door. The other was for a friend.

Filet is easy--mainly dc and chains. Shaped pieces are a little hard until you get the increase idea down (decreases are just slip stitches). You can even find afghan patterns in filet for yarn. I have an angel one and a teddybear one.

I'm Acrilic or however you spell it.

Me too! Now what woman wants to be called a dishcloth?! A man had to write that quiz. It's really not accurate anyway. I hate housework! It gets done but I'm not a natural little housewife.

 

[GodFlute2]

Lol. If you want to be serous about it how many of us are actually yarn in the first place?

I've been looking for someone with the same interest in the arts and crafts section to talk to. Are there any crocheters(if that's even a word) that have IM or would like to talk to someone with a similar interest in crocheting?

Yes I love to crochet, I have IM pm me for it, I recently finished my first blanket, and then a baby blanket. I Make and sell, hats, purses, and scarfs. I will probably make a poncho soonest.. I am 18 and have been crocheting since 14. My only people to talk about crocheting are older, like 40's and 50's, exept for a few friends who can only straight crochet..

I'm 37 and older people are surprised that I crochet. I think it was a lost art in my generation but that it is again becoming popular with young women.

I've taught a few young girls in my church.

It's nice to meet you Pure_Joy!

Then you're in good company. I'm 16 and have been crocheting off and on since 10.

I swear, my kids will be the death of me yet. My son brought home a notice about a surprise baby shower for 2 of the 5th grade teachers. So now I am rapidly making 2 baby blankets for him to give. He picked the pattern (wants both the same) and I got the yarn yesterday. I am 20 rows into the first one. only 75 more before I can do it all over again. The blankets are being doe in different colors/prints so they won't be exactly the same.

Had to put aside the red and black lumberjack afghan that is half done. Still trying to decide who gets this beauty for Christmas.

Good luck to you!

Lol. My sister wants about 20 purses I have patterns for.

I find that crocheting relaxes me. I am currently making a baby blanket for my nephew and nieces baby due in August

 

[GodFlute2]

Cool. I've been working on a blanket for sometime, but it's not gotten anywhere in sometime because I'm working on a million other things.

I like to Crochet but I can only do scarves and square things atm. I just don't understand all the code for patterns.. anyways, it's very relaxing and I can listening to a teaching or worship and music while I do it. Even talk on the phone while I crochet. So relaxing! <3

 

[GodFlute2]

Yeah, my poppaw has this fit about how he thinks crocheting ould be so borring. And we keep trying to tell him that to just sit and crochet for hours on end would be bornig, but to listen to music or have a conversation or listen to the TV or something else with it makes it very relaxing.
