I am definitely lean toward the Classic crocheter. The simpler the better. Even though I know all the crochet stitches I love doing a simple single crochet blanket. Blankets are my passion and I do like making them for those in need. In fact, I use to have a blanket ministry at church until I got too sick to maintain it. Now that I’m getting better I am going to start donating again.

However, occasionally I like making different things like those nylon scrubbies. I usually stick with simple things that people can get the most use out of.

Hi Rachel, I am a modern madam. I do get bored if a project is too big. I prefer small projects that get done and then on to a new one. Thanks for all your patterns and for all the help also.

I am all 3 i guess. I mostly use thread instead of yarn.
so if i like a pattern i try to crochet it with thread. My grandmother
taught me to crochet when i was 15, Then when i was 27 and got married
my mother-in-law was crocheting with thread so thats when i started.
Now i am 50 and still can’t put my needle. Mhubby gets mad at me sometimes
we are watching a movie and he will say how am i suppose to hold you while you
playing with your thread.

Thanks again, Rachel.

I hope to start anew tonight.
I didn’t really go beyond the slip stitch row for the reason I mentioned, so nothing lost really.

I am a true modern madam with a pinch of novelty. The mere thought of crocheting an afghan or scarf bores me to tears. I try to stay away from projects that have many repetitions or long rows. I am not too fond of monotony. Sometimes, I think of starting new projects in the middle of working on a current project..

I actually did the stitches into the starting chain as you would normally do it, not in the front loop. But if you want to make it even nicer, you can do your stitches into the back ridge of the chain to give it a more uniform edge.

Ahhh! That explains it. ALL rows and stitches.
I must have missed that in the pattern directions as well as in the comments.

Thank you so much for clearing that up.

One final question:

The front loop of the starting chain too?

All the rows and stitches are done in front loop only. But if you started in both loops already, it shouldn’t make much of a difference, other than the stitches you make into the slip stitches.

I see someone else asked a similar question on the piano scarf thread. (I had printed the pattern a while ago and so I thought the comment thread would no longer be active. Sorry.)
