Crocheting..........



                             
                     Trying to keep warm!!!!

 As I mentioned in my last post I am crocheting up a storm.

 ****long post so grab a cuppa of your favourite brew****

 Wasn't sure what patterns I would use so I decided to make
a sample of my stitches.

 All of the cloths are approx. 8"x 8".

 I finished the edges in a single crochet (sc).




             Here is a closer look at my stitches.



As you can see down the side I have noted the stitches that I will
be using in each of my cloths. Now I don't call them dishcloths because they can be used a facecloths.

                     From the bottom up:

                       Popcorn stitch /or Bobble stitch
               ( dc5tog)  double crochet 5 together

                              Double crochet
                                  (dc)

                             Single crochet
                                (sc)

                             granny square stitch
                                (3 dc together)

                                Tunisian knit stitch
                                      (tks)

                                  Tunisian simple stitch
                                            (tss)

                                Shell Stitch
                                 ( 1sc 2dc)

 So far I have made four cloths....... and here they are:

                           Love the texture with this
                                 Tunisian Stitch..

                           I could see a afghan made with
                                     this stitch.
       I used a J 10 or 6mm double end crochet hook.
                   This is stitch is so unique. 

                                



There you have it !

Four of my eight stitch patterns.

    I love them all but I agree that the tunisian stitch is lovely. It seems that there is a trend back towards large macrame pieces. I was reading that in House and Home magazine and then saw something about it on a talk show. Did you ever do macrame?

    I love crochet. Love to see it and own it but I cannot create it. You are doing so well creating beautiful things. The tunisian stitch is interesting and I rather like it. Beautiful work Linda.

    This reminds me of a post I read last night - about a blanket made with samples of stitches, and many colours. I loved it - just google Tanna at the Brick Street bungalow - gorgeous!

    Saturday night and you are finishing projects - wow! We're watching the football playoffs and not much else.

    Anyways, I love that Tunisian stitch. Can you send me the pattern? Never seen it before.

    Wow, you are talented! I'd love to be able to knit or crochet but I don't have the patience. I want to take the needles and throw them across the room. :) I love the Tunisian stitch! I agree that an afghan would be nice. How about a scarf? Anxious to see more of your creativity!
