CrochettingMama replied to badrhinogillett's topic in Crochet for Charity
I love seeing all the blankets. I love the FB page too. Kathryn got me going on the fleece edging and I have been loving it. I bought fleece on sale and have enough for about 28 blankets. I'm having fun edging them all. -

I've made BICO's with Lion Brand Homespun and would like to make a baby BICO using Bernat Baby Coordinates. Do I use the same amount of stitches? How do I make it the right size? It seems as though if I use a smaller yarn, that the sweater will be smaller. I plan on using a J hook and I did a sample and it looks ok. Can anyone help? Thanks!!

I have a bunch to send. I am using my leftover balls of Homespun and making some preemie ones. I also made a couple of hats. I'll send my clown box when I am done with this batch!! -
learning granny square/crochet in the round
CrochettingMama replied to Kelly Peron's topic in General Crochet Help
Once you get the hang of a granny, it will be easy. For years I could NOT make a granny square. My aunt showed me, diagrammed it for me and I still couldn't do it. A few years ago, I sat down with a pattern and lo and behold I made my first ever granny square!! Look at the tutorials posted here and stick with it. Then let us know when you have done it!! -

I have several afghans made. I am not crochetting as much as normal since I am going to school, but I hope to get a full box to you this summer!! -
I mostly crochet for charity. I make baby afghans (full size and preemie) and I make a lot of prayer shawls. I like to make cotton dish/wash cloths too.

Where is the cheapest place to get yarn?
CrochettingMama replied to crochetaholic74's topic in Other Crochet Topics
Joann's just had a 25% off sale and I bought some yarn. Also, I have made afghans for people and felt so used. People that don't crochet do not realize how much yarn costs, plus the time and effort we put in to a project. I think non crocheters think we can just whip something up in no time at all. I started charging people the cost of the yarn, or I ask them to purchase the yarn for the project and tell them what to buy and how much to buy. -

Kathryn, I've been praying for your dad too. And for you!! Can't wait to see the pics and totals! Take care of your foot. -
I use hot pads and pot holders interchangeably. The very first cotton dishcloths I made, I made so tightly, with an "F" hook I think, the most of the people I gave them to used them for hot pads! lol
-
I made six of them and sent them off this morning!! Washcloths are so easy, you can take them anywhere to work on them~!
-
Welcome!

I'm sending six washcloths this week!!

Could any of you ladies explain to me what the difference is with these two tools?? Do they both do the same job or what?? I think I would like to put edges on flannel or fleece and want to know the best way to makes holes in the edges. Thanks for your help!!
-
This is a perfect project for me right now!!
-
And I love it!! It makes all my leftover yarn into neat little balls. Now I don't have yarn ends laying around everywhere!! I bought the one from Knit picks!!! Great price and it works well.
