WORKING IN ROW ENDS
Sometimes a pattern has you work rows of
stitches and then to form a border or edging
you are instructed to "work in the
row ends". The row ends are the first & last stitches you did
on each row. If the rows are single
crochet stitches then the "end of the row" refers to
making the required stitches around the
first & last single crochet stitches on each row.
If the first & last stitches on the
row are double crochet stitches you work around the post of the double crochet stitches. No matter what
kind of stitch you are using you
work around the actual stitch on the end of the row... not into the
top of it.
The first photo in the following picture
shows a swatch turned on its side
with the ends of the rows on the top. I
used a white cotton thread to work into the
row ends so you could see where the stitches
go. The second photo shows the entire
piece with a border added. I worked one
single crochet into each row end, one single
into each unworked loop of the foundation
chain, one single in each row end up the opposite
side, and one single in each stitch on the
last row I had made. For each corner I worked
3 singles so the motif wouldn't curl up.
Change the look of a crochet pattern by altering yarn color(s) recommended.

Crochet Tip
Extra hooks in your favorite size(s) prevents you from taking a hook from one WIP to work on another.

Crochet Tip:
If you are just learning to crochet, choose a pattern that you can finish pretty quickly. A dishcloth pattern is a great "first project".
The feeling of accomplishment that comes when you finish your very first project will give you the confidence to choose something even more challenging.

A simple hat pattern is great too. And you can donate them to a cancer center, homeless shelter or for smaller sizes to the ob ward or a center to help new mothers.

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.

A kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they drew. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's artwork. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, "I'm drawing God." The teacher paused and said, "but no one knows what God looks like." Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing the girl replied, "They will in a minute."
