Noire Wolf

For some reason parts of the site ( like blog posts ) are not pulling up when I click on the links.

Please bring the ability to view all new forum posts like it was on the old site. Edit: My bad. I completely missed the button in the far upper right corner that says "View New Content". Guess I need more coffee. Great job with the new site!

I like http://www.cutepdf.com/

None of my lys are close or welcoming. Every one I've been to I've gotten attitude for being a crocheter and not a knitter. Plus, since I work mainly with acrylics due to finances, allergies and preference I get even more of an attitude. I find most of what I need at Michaels and what they don't have I get on-line. I like Michael's rewards program and have struck up a good relationship with them and with one seller in particular on Amazon.

I also agree with Real Deal and Smokey: It's hard on your hands and wrists and it ruins hooks. The "stitches" imho, look nothing like crocheting. And finally there's the financial outlay to get started. I spent quite a bit of cash on new hooks ( so none of my fav hooks would get ruined), tools, and different gauges and colors of wire. All that and after about 3 weeks of on and off trying to learn and I just up and sold everything I'd just bought. Didn't even come close to recouping what I'd spent. It's a great skill to have and the finished pieces are absolutely gorgeous, but it's just not for me.

I did a google search for "reverse Tunisian stitch' and got a lot of results, both video and pages. One of them should be helpful.

I make my own using beads, heavy gauge wire, bamboo bbq skewers and wood stain.

Thanks for the link. Just bought the pattern and can't wait to try it.

Please do so. I'm also on ravelry, user name noirewolf.

Wish I had the time to be a tester for this pattern. Will you be selling it on-line after the testing phase and if so where?

Oops, my bad. I'd like to use Red Heart's Super Tweed which is a 4 weight and is also classified as an Aran / 10 ply (8 wpi).

I’m about to start on this. I do not like working with the recomended yarn so I’m going to use this instead. Since the two yarns are very different, do I double or teble the starting starting chain and make stitch count adjustments from there so that finished garment will look/fit correctly?

I'm going to be attempting to make http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/70552AD.html?noImages= as soon as I can get the yarn. I've already worked out my yarn substitution, but I'm not sure how to add a hood to this. Any ideas, suggestions?

Please enter me in the drawing as well. I love collecting older patterns and would love some new additions to my library.

Thanks ladies. Unfortunately I'm still just as and as ever. Think this is going on the back burner til I can get together with some other crafters in person.
