TUNISIAN CROCHET (a/k/a Afghan Stitch)
Tunisian crochet is a method of crocheting where you work stitches in two parts... a forward pass and a return pass.
The first row of stitches are worked in the hump of each chain.
Tunisian crochet is done using a special hook that is longer than the traditional crochet hook.
The work is always facing you... never turned as in regular crochet.
There are numerous types of tunisian crochet stitches.
One method of stitch placement is working into the vertical bar as shown here:
Note: To practice the tunisian double stitch try making the coaster pattern in this issue.
Get organized!
Keep a small pair of scissors,
a tape measure,
a yarn needle and stitch markers
in a zippered pouch. Toss the pouch in your
project bag so everything is easily accessible.

Crochet Tip:
A three ring binder with tabs for:
Afghans
Baby
Kitchen
Bath
Home Decor
Toys, etc.
will keep you organized.
When you print a pattern, punch holes in it and add it to your binder in the appropriate section.

I had the local office supply store laminate some of my favorite pattern books that are well used.
They will even spiral bound (not very good English, I know) them. Though having them spiral
bound will not let them be waterproof like those not spiral bound.

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.

Returning from a trip to visit my grandmother in California,
I was stopped by a state trooper in Kansas for exceeding the
speed limit. Grateful to have received a warning instead of
a ticket, I gave him a small bag of my grandmother's delicious
chocolate-chip cookies and proceeded on my way.
Later, I was stopped by another trooper. "What have I done?"
I asked.
"Nothing," the trooper said, smiling. "I heard you were passing
out great chocolate-chip cookies."
We were camping with our granddaughters 5- and 3-years-old
at a state park and hiking on one of the trails.
The 5-year-old asked for a walking stick, so I found a limb
on the ground and trimmed off the little stems and such.
Hiking a little further and thinking the 3-year-old would
want one also, I found another limb on the ground that fit
her size and trimmed it down and gave it to her.
After about ten steps of so, she slings the stick out into
the woods and states, "I don't need this, I'm not Moses."
Little Johnny was awaiting the arrival of his piano teacher when his mother inquired, "Little Johnny, did you wash your hands?"
Little Johnny replied, "Yes."
Mother: "And your face?"
Little Johnny: "Yes mother."
Mother: "And did you wash behind your ears?"
Little Johnny: "On her side, I did."
A first-grader came to the ophthalmology office where
I work to have his vision checked. He sat down and I
turned off the lights.
Then I switched on a projector that flashed the letters
F, Z and B on a screen. I asked the boy what he saw.
Without hesitation he replied, "Consonants."
Father William, the old priest, made it a practice to
visit the parish school one day a week. He walked into
the 4th grade class, where the children were studying
the states, and asked them how many states they could
name. They came up with about 40 names. Father William
jokingly told them that in his day students knew the
names of all the states.
One lad raised his hand and said, "Yes sir, but in those
days there were only 13 states."
A grandfather bought a hobby-horse by mail order as a Christmas present for his granddaughter. The toy arrived in 189 pieces.
The instructions said that it could be put together in an hour; however, it took the old man two days to assemble the toy.
Finally, when it was all put together, he wrote a check, cut it into 189 pieces and mailed it to the company.
