No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities.

Crochet Patterns - Drawstring Bag




Size 14 1/2'' x 16"

Materials: 7 oz of a fine mercerized crochet cotton;
(No. 5) Size C crochet hook;
1 yd each of Red and Blue cord.

Gauge: 26 sts and 18 rows to 4" over pat worked on
size C hook. To save time, take time to check gauge.



To make: Ch 93 and beg pat as follows:



Base row (RS) 1 hdc in 3rd ch from hook, 1 hdc in side of previous hdc by working around post of st, * skip next ch, 1 hdc in next ch, 1 hdc in side of previous hdc, rep from * to last 2 ch, 1 hdc in last ch. Turn.

1st row Ch 1, 1 sc in each st to end. Turn.

2nd row Ch 2 to count as first hdc, skip first st, *1 hdc in next st, 1 hdc in edge of previous hdc, skip next st, rep from * to last sc, 1 hdc in last sc. Turn.

First and 2nd rows form pat and are repeated throughout.

Continue in pat until bag measures 16" from beg, ending with a 2nd row.

Work a second piece in the same way.




To finish

Press each piece using a damp cloth and stretch work slightly, taking care not to pull it out of shape. Join the two pieces together by working a seam of single crochet around three sides, leaving the top open. To work the single crochet seam, insert the hook through both

layers and adjust the spacing of the stitches as necessary. Wrap the threading ends of the cords with tape to avoid fraying. Then thread each length of cord through the half double rows at the top of the bag. Knot the ends of the cords and untwist them to make tassels. Dampen and trim the ends to neaten the tassels.

I've been busy again (still*). I made another Linus blanket-babysized and 2 preemi blankets, 7 thread cross bookmarks for church, started a tablerunner in size 3 thread, made a shrug in an alpaca/silk blend, am half finished with the July Crinoline Lady and just beginning a bathing suit cover up for my daughter in LusterSheen. And that is just the past 3 weeks!

Still in the planning stages-- a tunic for me in 3 shades of blue (I have one shade already)
A market bag in garden twine -- an experiment of sorts
A doily in ecru size 20 thread
An Aran-style pullover for DH with a different cable pattern than the last one
A hoodie sweater for me
A sweater-coat for my daughter
A new sweater for my son.

Guess that will hold me for awhile.

wow you ladies sure do have a lot of projects goin on at once sometimes! I just stick with one at a time usually so they get done. I do the same with books...read one at a time.
I'm about done with a white baby sweater...the bottom looks more like a dress but oh well. It's a girl's sweater anyways. I'm going to make a matching hat next. I was on a doily kick and now I'm on a baby kick. Don't really know anyone having a baby anytime soon. I'll save them as gifts. I think I'll make another bath mat because it was easy and fun and the bath mat works quite well. Plus I still have a lot of white cotton yarn from the spool I bought.
I have a confession...I've never crocheted a single granny square. I guess I should try those one day.

pop quiz! A friend asked me to teach her how to crochet when we meet for lunch tomorrow. She's wanting to make a baby blanket, but I don't have many good patterns. My thing is purses, my Granny(who recently died) made all the blankets. I inherited her patterns and such so I have a few but she hadn't been crocheting for very long. Anyone have an easy patterns for blankets, afghans, granny square type things?

Sure, go here. Scroll down near the bottom of the page for some baby projects. Don't go too far or you'll run into the knit patterns. ;)

I'm making the naptime right now and I think it's pretty easy.

Hi :wave: I can crochet , I taught myself a few years ago. I am not very good at getting my gauge right so I tend to make blankets and dolls clothes for my nieces..

Welcome :wave: I'm also a self taught crocheter. Been at it for over 20 years now (yikes!). As far as gauge goes -- practice, practice, practice is what it takes. I have made more than my share of gauge swatches over the years to get it just right, and still have to swatch with each new pattern. I can't believe how tight some designers crochet! And I tend to substitute yarns (can't afford the really pricey stuff).

Hopefully the weather will get cooler and the budget looser soon. I have 4 projects planned for the family (all sweaters). Luckily, no deadline on them.
