Hi ebwy2, for myself I have used YouTube a lot. A lot of times I can't understand patterns by reading them, YouTube will show you step by step how to do a lot of stitches and also joining squares together. Just do a search of Crochet Stitches or Joining Granny Squares.

Don't miss the new Nevada thread pages here! These pages are in their infancy so don't hesitate to send me suggestions for additions or improvements. Just be kind... I'm old and technologically challenged. LOL

Hello, fellow hookers!

It's been waaaay to long since I've come on here and chatted with y'all! Thought I would share my latest project, a round doily blanket for a friend who is getting married in July. And, hopefully, I will keep up with posting future projects on here as well. Anyway, here are the pictures!

Keep your head, heels, and standards high.
