kawaiiknots: Hello!
Hello all! My name is Amye, and I am an 80 year-old stuck in a 22 year-old’s body D: I’m originally from Canada, but have been living in the USA since 2001. Anywho, my grandma taught me to crochet when I was 4 because I kept destroying the afghans she’d knit by “emulating” her knitting skills upon them with my pencil crayons. I didn’t crochet beyond chains, scarves, dish rags/pot holders until...

Great tip submitted by mysuperpower! The Crochet School links seem perfect for...

My name is Tristyn! :) I've recently just started crocheting but I do it so often I feel like I'm doing pretty good so far. But I still can't read crochet speak, you know like the crochet books... :( Anyway, just wanted to say hello and...
theskiesbluelookingglass asked: Hi! I'm Cynthia. :) I wasn't too sure how to introduce myself (ask message, submission...) so I hope this is okay! :P I just started crocheting a few weeks ago, so I still have a lot of practicing to do and lots to learn. I always wanted to learn to crochet so I can make my own hats and scarfs, but when I discovered amigurumi I decided to finally give it a try. I'm hoping this will...

Not just with yarn
Submitted by glammamamma: This is a piece of wire crochet work, i’m doing for an exhibition this March.
I’m using craft wire, & i’ve threaded some semi-precious chips onto it.
It’s hard on the hands, but it’ll look great once it’s finished.

Thanks for answering, roseylivesonaboat!
QUESTION:
francesrobynspeaking: do you know of any cheap places (in the U.K.) or online for some nice shades of wool? im so bored of using bland colours and i keep seeing everyone using beautiful bright colours and i need some!! Thankyou xx
ANSWER:
roseylivesonaboat: As far as I’m aware, “cheap” “nice” and “wool” don’t really happen in the same sentance!
For big projects, like blankets, I...
lefthookaccessories asked: Hi! My name is Marsha and I've been crocheting on and off for the last 20 years or so! I've dabbled in a few crafts over the years but picked back up crocheting more consistently a few years ago when I wanted to create winter accessories for myself that would be unique and ultimately save myself some $$ :) Fast forward to today, things I make would catch the eye of others and they...
sparklingsodacans asked: Oh! I've done the Kool AId thing a few times. It's AWESOME. Very very cheap. And should take less than an hour to dye. And it's all kitchen safe. The colors are definitely vibrant and you can create MANY colors. For my Senior Project Chemistry blog, Im in the middle of a lab report about a procedure that many people say you should do with Kool Aid.

shipsandshows asked: For the NFL logo, I'd stick to single crochet stitching, as it has more of a block or square shape to the stitches, allowing for more control over the design.
kyholio asked: I've been working on a scarf, and I drew a pattern that I am trying to crochet into it, but it is really distorted and weird looking. I've been using a hdc, and I was wondering if it would be better to undo all the work and use a single stitch for the pattern portion of it, or if certain patterns (this is an NFL logo) are just hard to do in crochet. I've been carrying the various...

athelstansbangs asked: This is in response to the question about making a twin sized blanket. The easiest way to know how many chains you should make is to measure the width of the bed, then add enough inches/centimeters to make it wide enough to hang down on both sides. You could also measure a store-bought twin sized sheet or blanket that you like the width of. As for color and stitch patterns, that is up to your...
