My daughter is...

[chrissyf]

either brilliant or just weird. First off she is 16 i taught her to crochet a few years ago and the only thing she will make is scarves. She follows no pattern and now it appears she made up her own stitch...at leaast i think she did.

She inserts hook into back loop of the row below yarns over and pulls up a loop, then she yarns over and pulls through one loop then yarn over and pulll through two loops. it is very cool looking but odd. Is it a new stitch or did she figure out something else on her own...i only taught her sc.

That reminds me of a camel stitch...similar looking but not quite the same....I like the look of what she did there!

It's new to me! I'm going to try it some time. I however, do not have a vast knowledge of all the many stitches out there. Tell her nice job!

I think I've heard of that referred to as an extended sc, but I may be wrong... She may be a combination of brilliant & weird Sounds like an amazing young lady either way!

It reads like an extended sc in the back loop.

 

It looks great!

Good for her! Brilliant is often perceived as weird, isn't it? (Said by the mother of a very artistic daughter who even had a high school English teacher call her "weird"---she took it as a compliment.)

afterrignoring my own timesensitive crochet for an hour trying to figure her out i finally looked it up and yuo she "discovered" the extended single crochet. The scarf is coming along nicely. it is for her psychology teacher who she says is a BIG BIG man. We have to hit storage and my yarn stash to find another skein of the grey yarn but the scarf is a bit more flexible than sc but with fewer "holes" than HDC or DC.

She is very artsy...i will have to upload to show and tell some of her art assignments. I just love the fact thqat she is working on this in classes after her work is done.

I don't mind sharing my stash since i prefer to work with thread..she can use all the yarn she wants she just has to leave my thread alone:2nono

I have a book written by someone named Elmore (has Elmore in the title) with stitches that are between the standards. There's a stitch between sc and hdc, one between hdc and dc, one between dc and trc, etc. I think extended sc is one of them. I use them when I want to make something that needs a point.

Would love to see a pic when she is done.

Thanks for sharing your daughter's stitch. I am going to have to try it. Especially since you say it does not leave a hole like a dc stitch or hdc stitch. I have been making some scarves and it was that "hole" that I have not been pleased with my scarves.
