If you could, would you post your email again? Please?<br /> I meant to ask: How ahead or behind is your time as to my time? I'm in the Central time zone. Right now it's about 4:40 A.M. Monday, October 2nd. <br /> I couldn't sleep so just goofing on my cell phone. I worked straight midnights for nearly 15 years so my sleep cycle is really goofy.<br /> I'm fixing to go wiggle my wrist & work on my Afghan. I still got 5 6oz. Skeins to crochet. Hope it's long enough for what I want.<br /> My address is:<br />janiej1951@gmail.com<br /> ✉😁✉😁✉😁Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06638263818357559608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815137217546317763.post-66408539980913020532017-09-29T18:33:07.291+01:002017-09-29T18:33:07.291+01:00Hi Jane, this definitely is a mini novel.

The instructions are sometimes like reading Greek, so I definitely avoid that particular project. My mother, grandmother, and aunt, all crocheted. But I never ask them how to crochet. All I knew was a person wiggled their wrist and made what looked like knots in different sizes. I've watched many videos on how to make different items and noticed in the U.K. that what we call a Single Stitch, it is called a Double Stitch in the U.K. I also noticed that the people crocheting in the videos, all hold the hooks differently. In trying to do as they were doing, I succeeded in nearly cutting the circulation off to my hand!! (not really but I did have a good bird nest of yarn in that hand) I've got that part figured out now though. I also had trouble with having the correct tension on the flow of yarn while making the foundation row. My chain had loops/circles big enough to look like a ship's anchor chain, to small loops/circles that are the size of necklaces!! I finally got the hang of how to make all the stitches the same. But I still have the most trouble with the 2nd row of almost any item I try making. After I get past that row I'm ok. <br />I'm currently making an afghan using a bulky yarn and just using a single crochet and a double crochet in the same stitch. It's about one third done. <br /> I just realized I've almost wrote a novel here. Sorry. I'll definitely try my hand a making a rug using the Amish Knot as in your video.<br /> thank you for showing how<br /> Janie I.
