WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT



"Wherever there is a human being,
there is an opportunity for kindness."
~~ Seneca ~~


With what shall I come to the Lord and bow myself before the God on high? Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings, with yearling calves? Does the Lord take delight in thousands of rams, in ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my first-born for my rebellious acts, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? The voice of the Lord will call to the city -- and it is sound wisdom to fear Thy name: Hear, O tribe. Who has appointed its time?

Micah 6:6-9

Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through who also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character, and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Romans 5:1-11

 

And so, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. And beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

Colossians 3:12-17

 

 

"GOOD WORKS ARE NOT THE MEANS
OF SALVATION BUT THE RESULT ."

CROCHET TIP


If you are working on a project using a variegated yarn and run out just a few stitches

RE: Post on the Crochetnmore Fan Page

"Stupid question I guess, but somewhere along the line I've gotten completely confused between a slip stitch and a single crochet. Please help??"
Gene Putter Claassen

<< reply >>

There are no stupid questions :)
To make a slip stitch you insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over and pull the loop through the stitch AND the loop on the hook. To make a single crochet insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over and pull the loop through the stitch then yarn over again and pull through the two loops on the hook.

 


Subject: Barbs_Floppy_Brim_Hat

yo and pull up a loop (3 lps on hook)

Re: Puff Stitch Baby Hat

Good afternoon,

I’m following your video for a baby hat. I’m almost done with round 17 and wanted to view the end product. However, you tube gives me an error for the video: How to Crochet: Puff Stitch Baby Hat – Rounds 20-21. Please reply with that video, so I can finish the hat. Thank you for making your videos simple to follow. Priscilla

in a Skein and How to Untangle Yarn:

Thank you! Now I will not feel so bad when I "gut" almost a whole skein to find the center pull strand. Wonder why manufacturers don't make it easier for us? Redheart is the only brand I never have trouble finding the center on but I hate working with their scratchy yarn.

arily83 has made a comment on How to Crochet - Puff Stitch Baby Hat - Rounds 1-4:

This is a very pretty baby beanie. I would like to thank you for posting this tutorial. I like that you are very exact with the number of stitches etc. But i do have a question...what size yarn and hook did you use. And can you tell me what size does this measure or if its for new born small baby or toddler. Thanks again. (adele)

<< reply >>

@arily83 You're very welcome. I used Bernat Baby Coordinates yarn which I refer to as sport weight baby yarn. The label says it's "light Size 3". I used a Hook Size H.
This hat is newborn size.

breehegler has made a comment on How to Crochet - How to Find the Center Strand of Yarn
in a Skein and How to Untangle Yarn:

Thanks for the video! I have had troubles in the past with my yarn. I try to locate a strand before I even buy the yarn. And I love "I Love This Yarn" found at Hobby Lobby!


I am looking for an afghan pattern that resembles cats "sitting" on top of one another. I believe they are done in a shell type stitch for the cat head and body, the tail is extended down from the body of the cat into/"beside" the cat below. The ears were even pointy like a cat's!

If I remember correctly, the tail of the upper cat does not extend past the "head" shell of the cat below.

The pattern was done in three colors with one complete cat (including tail) in each color.

I've misplaced the pattern and contacting places like Annies Attic, Leisure Arts etc...have had zero results. It was in a book with several other patterns. I wondered if you or any of your readers would have a copy of the pattern I would really appreciate it.

If they want to contact me, please have them put cat afghan pattern in the subject line so I know it isn't spam.

Thank you
in Christ
annette Thivierge

<< reply >>

Could this be the pattern?
http://crochet-mania.blogspot.com/2009/04/abstract-crochet-cats.html

I haven’t seen one that had the tails of the cats in it.

<< Annette's Reply >>

Lisa,

It's very close to what I remember! You are my new best friend! :-p The pattern does show the "tail" it's the little extended stitch to the right of the "cats"

I seem to remember the cats' bottoms being a bit fatter but with this pattern I can play and adjust.

Thank you so very much!!

in Christ
Annette Thivierge

 


RE: Bridal Hankie

I would love to make your beautiful hankie for the mother-of-bride, who is my best friend, and would like to know what the measurments are. The picture shows a triangle shape, so I don't know if you folded the hankie into this shape for the picture, or if it is crocheted in this shape. Please let me know today if you can, as I would like to order the #10 thread.

Thank you so much.

Gloria Torres ;0)

<< reply >>

The hankie is square... I folded it for the photo.
I made this for my Sister-In-Law and failed to write down
the measurements. If I’m recalling the size correctly
the hankie would measure around 10-12 inches square.

Crochet Tip:
Foundation chain always too tight?
Make it using a larger hook size then go back to the smaller hook.

Yep! That's the trick! Works like a charm ;)

Crochet Tip: If you have long hair, pull it back before you start crocheting to keep hair out of your work.

TheMoultonj has made a comment on How to Crochet - Linked Treble Crochet Stitch:

I think I’m catching on to the Crochet Jargon.I’m having trouble with SP. sc in First ch-4 sp,ch 1. in next ch-2 sp,ch 2,sc in next ch-4 sp
How the heck to I do this? I don’t understand the sp…. I looked up the definition, however I’m still lost. BTW I’m a total beginner. The attended at the store said to start with dishcloth and these instruction are in the dishcloth….. AAAAAHHGGGGGGG!

<< reply >>

When a pattern instructs you to work into a space (sp) you work into the hole beneath a series of one or more chains instead of into the chain stitches themselves.

I have a video on youtube explaining chain spaces... sorry but youtube doesn't allow me to post links here. You can find it on the crochetnmore youtube channel.

You can do it!

This book is a wonderful addition to any crochet library.
I've had numerous requests over the years of what to crochet for boys.
Crobots are definitely the answer!
This 96-page book is filled with numerous types of Crobot patterns as well as well-illustrated instructions for the
crochet stitches, assembly stitches and other embellishments used in the patterns.
The patterns are well written, some of the book is written in a small font but the pictures are wonderful. NOTE: This book comes to you with a safety warning regarding the small parts used in the patterns.
Therefore, please use your own discretion as to the age of the child you intend the gift for.


I have to tell you about this new book.
SweaterBabe.com's Fabulous & Flirty Crochet
I'm so happy to have it in my crochet library.Katherine Lee has an eye for style and a definite knack for creating beautiful crochet patterns.
I was really happy with the large colorful project photos.
There's something for everyone!
The aspect of Fabulous and Flirty Crochet that stood out to me was the section on the yarns
used in the patterns. One page shows "actual size" photos of the yarns which makes it super
easy to substitute other yarns if you want to. For those who stay strictly to the recommended
yarn in a pattern Katherine has included a yarn resource list. The projects are very fashionable
and perfect for gift giving... though I'm sure you'll have to make something for yourself :o)
I can't wait to try the Flirty Skirt and the Ruffled Strap Tank.

HUMOR



~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Laughter is an instant vacation." - Milton Berle
~ ~ ~ ~ ~

 

I was the substitute teacher for a second-grade math

class that was learning about groups. In one exercise,

pupils were asked to label a group of items

according to their common characteristics.

Pictured were onion rings, doughnuts, a bundt cake,

and ring cookies. The correct answer would have been that

all the items have holes in the center.

But one health-conscious boy's response was,

"All of those things contain too much cholesterol."


A teenager who had just received her learner's permit offered to drive her parents to church. After a hair-raising ride, they finally reached their destination.

When the mother got out of the car she said emphatically, "Thank you!"

"Anytime," her daughter replied with a smile.

As her mother headed for the church door, she said, "I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to God."


I was about to leave the house on an errand, and my husband was getting ready for a dental appointment. "I wish we could trade places," I said, knowing how much he dreaded the coming ordeal.

He watched as I gathered our newborn onto my left arm and picked up a package with that hand. I flung a diaper bag and my purse over my right shoulder, grabbed our two-year-old with my free hand and wrestled the car keys from him.

My husband shook his head. "No, thanks," he said. "At least where I'm going they give you anesthesia."



A tourist was admiring the necklace worn by a local Indian.

"What is it made of?" she asked.

"Alligator's teeth," the Indian replied.

"I suppose," she said patronizingly, "that they mean as much to you as pearls do to us."

"Oh no," he objected. "Anybody can open an oyster."


Teacher: If I give you two rabbits and two rabbits and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?

Johnny: Seven!

Teacher: No, listen carefully again. If I give you two rabbits and two rabbits and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?

Johnny: Seven!

Teacher: Let's try this another way. If I give you two apples and two apples and another two apples, how many apples have you got?

Johnny: Six.

Teacher: Good. Now if I give you two rabbits and two rabbits and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?

Johnny: Seven!

Teacher: How on earth do you work out that three lots of two rabbits is seven?

Johnny: I've already got one rabbit at home now!


My job as a land surveyor took me to a golf course that was expanding from 9 holes to 18 holes. Using a machete to clear thick brush in an area I was mapping, I came upon a golf club that an irate player must have tossed away. It was in good condition, so I picked it up and continued on.

When I broke out of the brush onto a putting green, two golfers stared at me in awe. I had a machete in one hand, a golf club in the other, and behind me was a clear-cut swath leading out of the woods.

"There," said one of the golfers, "is a guy who hates to lose his ball!"


At a family picnic, my aunt was admonishing her six-year-old son to wash his hands before eating.

He protested that they weren't dirty, though after a few minutes of complaining, the boy finally did go and wash them.

Later, while they stood in line for the condiments to add to their hamburgers, the boy dropped his food on the grass. He stood whimpering at his mother's side until she said: "Oh, pick it up. A little dirt never hurt anyone."


My brother had placed an ad in the newspaper to sell his Mercury
Cougar. When it didn't appear in the used-car listings the next
day, he phoned the classifieds department to complain.

Minutes later, he received a call from a man who had spied the ad
under "Pets for Sale."


A prosecuting attorney just could not believe that a jury had found the defendant not guilty.

Astonished, he asked the jury foreman, "How could you possibly have found this man innocent?"

The foreman replied, "Insanity."

The perplexed prosecutor asked, "All twelve of you?"

 


One day at the veterinarian's office where I take my cat, a man and the receptionist were verbally sparring.

After a few moments a technician came to her co-worker's defense.
"Sir," she interjected, "do you know what happens to aggressive males in this office?"


One October, my wife and I spent a vacation on Washington's
Olympic Peninsula. We were eager to visit the rain forests
near the coast, but we heard that snow slides had made
some of the roads impassable. Although apprehensive about
the conditions we might run into, we drove on.

Sure enough, we had gone only a short way up the High Rain
Forest road when we saw a sign: "Ice 10 miles."

Five miles farther on, there was another sign: "Ice 5 miles."
The next one was, "Ice 1/2 mile."

Looking out into the audience, he asked, "Is there a pharmacist in the house?"
