• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. 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. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I know that with the tiny steel crochet hooks... the one's that in the US are numbered and the larger the number the smaller the hook. And you use "thread" which is not really thread, just tiny compared to most yarns. It is by "size" typically 10 is used, but there are 20, 30, 40 and even smaller sizes (again larger the number, smaller the thread). There are edgings (lace like) that can be made and added to things. Otherwise, tatting is a traditional method of lace making.

I can crochet, so I've done some of those, but do not know tatting... yet.

Here's a couple of different examples...

http://crochet.about.com/library/weekly/aa040304.htm - using various standard sitches
Look and I am sure you'll be able to find more.

If you have questions, just ask.
