Good afternoon monks. I have not posted here, but staying on the Caylee thread can get frustrating. Do we have a thread just for holiday conversation?
If not  let me thank trimmonthelake for giving me the link i requested, while i crocheted.
I really suck at it but wanted to add a crocheted dish cloth to the apron i sewed for each of my daughters for a xmas gift.

I wish I could crochet.   Who taught you to do it?    Any books are video's you can recommend?     I made an afgan once - but that was a long time ago and it was a simple stitch.

crazy how I think I predict trends..I am sure I predicted shabby chic and a host of others in the past.
I wanted to start sewing on my machine again, and low and behold project runway became a tv hit!
I decided with my new found intrest in sewing , that I would sew something easy that did not require a "good fit' and found vintage apron patterns that I thought would be fun.
Now on every tv show from desperate housewives to dexter, they are all wearing aprons!
Now if I could only figure out those lottery #'s!

  I go to u tube for everything, and ivillage has videos, everytime i have to sew in a zipper i pull up the video to "refresh' my memory.  I made dish cloths cuz i suck too bad to attempt an afgan, It is just a dish cloth but who cares, cuz it is pretty when it sits on the counter all wet and used.

Thanks!   I never thought of going to utube to find out how to crochet.    I'll try both those sites.   I like doilies and such.   I'd like to make my own!    I'd like to learn to make baby blankets, too.   
I think its relaxing.

I had no idea!    As much as I like looking at videos on youtube, I can't believe I didn't realize I could learn how to crochet or do other things there!   So cool.      I learn something new every day!
