Aww shucks, I appreciate the show of support it gets me past the hubbie's nervousness to try this. I think it will work however. People need only a bit past covering food to really call things well set. Even $300 would make a difference to the kind of people I hear from; like a family that only needed that to get a place with all of them under the same roof!

Just amazing here and half the time I am in shock over things.

GREAT IDEA! fanned and watching. I just taught myself how to crochet and have some stitches I need help with.

which specific ones?
I can make a smaller auction for you if you would like with a specially configured for you packet.

Willing to call 75 credits acceptable if you need minimal help and 95 if you need something I do not have scanned yet.

I would love to learn as many as I can. Right now I have a doozy of a time making straight lines. I am watching this one and your auctions. Thank you for responding.

Nov 1st, 2011 at 8:25:04 PM PDT by

Straight lines?-- it is normal for rows of single crochet to curl up at the edges... only blocking and/or starching can prevent that. the chain it self is VERY hard to accomplish.I have seen eager students reduced to taking Valium over it!

Realize that you need to twist your hook to catch the yarn and then allow that turn to carry through and help keep from catching on the working hoop. Also, you might want to start out gripping your yarn and hook in matching OK hand signs-- this is a way to simplify how you hold things and your other fingers will simply fall in line and help out as you figure things out!

(Did that help? I am really unaware what would be called a straight line in crochet- where generally one is creating a fabric from interlocking loops.)

that is helpful, I should have said, straight edges! That is how new I am with crocheting. I make scarves and desperately trying to move on to other items. I can make a killer long scarf as long as the stitches are going in the length direction, the horizontal forget the straight edging, I have marked with markers and all, frustration center. Thank you for your help , God Bless you,

you need to chain at least once when changing rows.. chain 1 then turn and make sure you stitching the same first stitch. It is VERY common for people to have trouble marking where stitches are correctly until they get more time under their belt. It takes a while to learn stitches correctly.

Is this going to be mailed or is it an attachment to an email that we are bidding on? I am thinking about my daughter for this & I'd like to thumb through it also.

Nov 9th, 2011 at 8:36:14 AM PST by

I can send two copies/two emails at that rate. These are attachments right now since I cannot mail anything without the stamps that are hiding from me >.< We moved here April 2nd and most of our things went into storage.

Nov 9th, 2011 at 1:57:23 PM PST by

Not a problem. I can print it out & mail it to her, she doesn't have a printer & at the moment no internet. I think this would be great for her. I would only need 1 email with the attachment. We just moved here in Aug. & I am still unpacking & trying to find things.

Nov 9th, 2011 at 2:53:04 PM PST by

Sounds like a plan!

And my goodness what Does get unpacked? Recently, a bag was brought home randomly, and I found a 6mth onesie, a 1 yr old Nike tee, and a crib rail padding. Definitely not the stored nursing underthings I Asked for! None of which will actually really fit anyone or things we can use here! We only have a rail-less sidecar crib.

Friends do not make professional packers. *facepalm* I'm never letting people race to pack things in storage again.
