How to read a pattern. It remains my top pleasure. Sometimes I just read the pattern of something even if I am not going to make it to see how it is constructed, Continue

Try the Craft Yarn Council site. They have a really easy ripple pattern that you will certainly make over and over again.

I would love to have yarn and will gladly pay the postage for it. Also would crochet your hat for you. Just email me the pattern and I will get started checking out the way its made. Here is my email…

I love to crochet and would love to be able to help you, if I can on-line. Please let me know what it is that you are trying to do?

Thanks Teri-Lyn. If someone else takes off the wax, it is even more painful. And, I can't knit and crochet with gloves on. You have a good heart to want to help and I thank you for it. But, I have found that the warm salt water does the most…

Teri-Lyn Calhoun replied to trixie dubose's discussion 'Crochet anyone?'

:( so sorry that the heat didn't seam to stay retained in your joints to help a lot. Tell your hubby or someone to take off the wax for you - and put on the gloves while the heat is still in. But then again - it's already showed…

Kathleen Shough replied to trixie dubose's discussion 'Crochet anyone?'

I have used that, but they seem to cool off and start hurting again because of all the kneading that needs to be done to get the wax off. Thanks for the suggestion though. When my hands were younger, that worked quite well.

Have you or any one else thought of using the Paraffin Wax (bath) for your hands? It helps coat your hands with heat (at the temperature you can tolerate). It really soften up the skin as well if used during the dry season. Have seen them…

I agree with Dawn. I too have arthritis quite badly in both hands. I still teach crochet and knitting and enjoy working daily. A little warm salt water bath for your hands will help the pain and just remember that if you stop using your hands, they…

Hi Nina, I also crochet faster than knitting. I know how long it will take me to finish a project in crochet, with knitting it is still up in the air! :-) I am not very fast at all.

If you type in any of the yarn names like Caron or coats and clarks, you will find lots of free patterns in both crochet and knit. Don't know where you live, but I live in Justin , Texas and am willing to help anyone to learn either…
