I'm going to try that joining technique. That's something new I'll learn this year.

I learn new things here every year. Today I learned that we can upload our pix directly to our posts! Nice!

 

I learned how to correctly write a pattern this yr. I learned the Russian join this yr & how to crochet cables. I'm sure there is more I'm leaving out.

I haven't "learned" anything LOL But I did use fun fur to make hair on my ami. I've never done that before and I really like it! I want to learn to read a graph. Whenever I try it's so sloppy!

The Russian Join which worked great with the other new thing I learned, the Solomon's or Lover's Knot stitch.

These are two more things that I will learn this year:clap TFS the links! As someone who just started crocheting in Feb I have learned soooo much from this wonderful place called 'the ville"! I learned the FPDC from Heart's mystery Cal, and I am currently a FBB so I learned the HHDC stitch. This is the most amazing place, with the most amazing friendly people! Next up for me is to post some pics. I finished a market bag and took a picture, just need to figure out how to download to the computer and then post- another new thing I'll have learned!

I did my first graph last month. I made a small one & then used it as a pocket for a tote bag. I also learned the FPDC and the BPDC, although I haven't used them much yet.

I hadn't crocheted in years until I found this site. Now I'm a maniac! LOL! I use to only know the basic sc, sl st, chain and dc, now I know so many stiches its insane! Plus I couldn't read a pattern until a couple months ago. I've learned so much and its all because of you ladies!
