couple of crochet patterns

[ldenise]

Patti, thank you. I have taken many patterns off of that site in the past. and while there today, I took yet another one. I am going to need 3 life times to accomplish all that I want to do.
Knitting is one art I have been working on for 45 yrs and still have not mastered it. I have knitted a few things and I like the knitted look better than crochet but it goes too slow for me, I reckon. I just can't stick with it for some reason.
Doilies are few for me any more. I have a problem lately with carpel tunnel and it is hard to hold on to the smaller thread.
I also have a problem at sticking with a pattern. (I try to add my own changes).

Oh Denise, I am so sorry about you having carpel tunnel, my mom had that and they operated on both, I recall how painful it was to her. Prayers that one day they will come up with something other than surgery to help for that. I know what you mean about needing three life times to accomplish all that we would like to do I am hoping that it won't be long and I will be able to get my ebay going or either have my own site on the net, would like to get back to making my wall clocks and painting, and also maybe doing the yorkie carriers like I made Cassie and now Baby Blessing and some other sewing but not pet items. We still are planning to move but not sure when.Thanks for the site that you posted. Have a real nice day. Patti

Ooh, crochet patterns!

I'd been searching for some good patterns lately. Lizzie is going to need some sweaters for this winter and all her old ones are kind of ratty. She gets so cold!

Now, just finding the time to sit down and make them...

Hi, Welcome to YT and what a cute name Lizzie. Our daughter and family just recently moved to NC they love it there, they have wished for us to move there. Hope that storm headed towards you all, will down size and won't be hitting there in the Carolina's and stay out away from the East Coast. We are watching the weather closely and we just heard it might Happy crocheting, do you knit? I noticed Jo Anns has some of the prettiest fluffy fabric that looks like the fun fur knitting yarns so anyone sewing could make up something that looks hand knitted. I even think I saw it at Wal Mart. I have to go to the city today and am always finding myself stopping at Jo Ann's Fabrics Patti

Thanks so much. They are so cute. I don't know if I can crochet that well, but guess I can try.

Thanks for the welcome Patti!

I'm really hoping the storm won't affect us too much as well. It's been stormy all yesterday afternoon and all of today. We needed some rain though so it's good as long as we don't get any worse.

I've done a little bit of knitting, but not too much. I mostly crochet as well as some sewing and embroidering.

I've crocheted quite a few hats for my dogs, and some sweaters. But I have been looking for some really warm and practical sweaters to make for Lizzie to wear in the winter because she really does stay cold a lot and I don't want her to spend all her time curled up in blankets just to stay warm!

well here i am again with changing the pattern! I didn't like the way the pattern went so I just looked at the picture and made it my way. I didn't add the belt buckle because I was afraid Ahia would roll over on it and jab her self. I added velcro instead. I made it while I was at work. I will make another and make it with the proper measurments. I took a picture with it on Tressie too. it is a little big for her but i will make her own.(smaller).
this pattern is really easy. most of it is done in single crochet. so any of you beginners can make it.
does it have the t-shirt and jeans look?

Great work Denise. this is so cute, you ought to think about selling them, you definately have a talent for this. Patti

[ldenise]

you guys are too kind......I could never make to sell, I get too bored with looking at the same pattern. I do one or 2 and am ready to move on to something else. LOL
we are going to ohio in Nov. and I needed to get started on making some warm clothing for these 4 sweeties. we dont have too much call for sweaters here. I sure hope it don't snow while we are there.
Hoodwinked, how is the weather there tonight? I hope you dont get it too bad.

Talked with our daughter earlier, she said they have a lot of rain where they are in NC, they had a stream through the edge of their property but she said it is now like a river flowing through there and very rapid. They have tried to talk us into moving there, I don't think so Are you any where near Wilmington? How strong are the winds near you? they have such pretty knit fabric like the fun fur knits and so that would sew up and look almost like a hand knitted sweater. Do you have a Jo Ann's near you?

I'm farther inland than like Wilmington, so it isn't that bad here. It's kind of gusty and the rain is sort of coming and going, but still not bad.

Yes, I shop at the Jo Ann's in Fayetteville and Cary. They have so much neat stuff and I always get lots of ideas for projects when I go in there. The hard part for me is finding the time to complete them all.

thanks for the patterns!
