| Any crotchers out there I'm trying to make a blanket, and I keep gaining and losing stiches. How do I remedy that, and what are those little circle things they show in books to use when crotching?

| I crochet but don't do anything with the ring! lol Can you show me a quick sample of the pattern you're working on and maybe I can tell how you're adding or dropping stitches?

I often gain/lose stitches in the ends where I don't know if there is supposed to be a stitch there or not. I find I have to count the whole row out sometimes. | |

I would think there MUST be another way to spell that (a person who crochets ... surely not crotch-er) ...

| Wow, what a little talk about crotches won't do. I mean crocheting. If you are just learning, you may find it helpful to count the second row of stiches to make sure you have the same number as the first row and then put a safty pin in the last stitch. Then put a pin in the beginning stitch of the third row and crochet into the stitch with the safety pin in the end of that row. Now, when you get to the end of the fourth row you'll know where the end is because the safety pin is in the last stitch. It will look like this. xxxxxxxxxxx row 1 turn xxxxxxxxxxp row 2 turn pxxxxxxxxxx row 3 turn xxxxxxxxxxx row 4 Then each row, you can move the safety pins until you become comfortable that you are catching all the stitches. Hope that helps. |

| Doesn't matter if its a single, half or double stitch; the concept is the same. That's how my mother taught me many years ago. AND I'm self-handed and she was right-handed, so I sat across from her and did what she did - exactly backwards! When it was time to teach my daughter, I did it the same way and she learned easily. |

| Oh my gosh, you mean that stuff you do to make blankets and stuff? I certainly thought you had something else in mind and I couldn't figure out why you wanted to know......Patty |
