Anybody else watch Clean Sweep, the cable show about decluttering one's home? The organizer (a male BTW, who probably isn't a "Crochet Dude" ) says he frequently encounters people who "horde" books and people who "horde" yarn. I'm guilty on both fronts. Only I think of it as a planning ahead, and having books and yarn on hand, not hoarding. I'm trying to crochet down some of my stash, and recycle already-read books, but still...lots of tubs of yarn, and shelves full of books.

Hello, and a warm welcome from Southern California.

Hi, and welcome, from Southern California. I haven't had much luck with chenille as a fringe. The texture just isn't right. I end up making a crochet edge for my chenille scarves, You might play around with a long picot or something similar, and see how you like the look.

Welcome, from soggy Southern California. The half-double chain one pattern works well for a baby blanket, if you use two strands and a P hook. It makes a soft and pretty blanket.

Welcome, Myra, from another Southern California crocheter. You designs are wonderful. Love the dog coat, but my macho mutt wouldn't allow it!
