NOTES OF INTEREST:

Just Crochet/Craft Idea's: It's been a very long time since I have posted anything to my Blog. Due to family and life in general, I got a little detoured. I will try to get time to type up some new entries. I have created a lot of items, gave them away and did not take pictures or type them up. We lost both of our boys this year. Jiggy in March and Stubby in July. We have a new friend her name is MayBee (due to the fact that we weren't quite sure about keeping her). She's 4 years old and full of energy. I make her Kitty Strings with yarn, it was such a hit, I donated some to the local animal shelter. I'll try to put them on the Blog next week. As usual, if you have questions about crafting or crochet, I will answer them under the post where you leave the comment. Thanks for stopping by. Birdie

      Sorry Lindsey, I edited the pattern and corrected it. It was supposed to be scdc, single crochet decrease. Thanks for the heads up. Hope you make them, Birdie

    I'm new to crocheting, and I'm really confused by the instructions for row 8 of the glove part. What does "Sc in next 9 Sc, Sc 2 times in next Sc" mean? Sorry if it's a stupid question.

      That means 1 single crochet in each of the next 9 single crochets, and single crochet twice in the next single crochet. (sc) = single crochet. I suggest you visit Lion Brand (link at left) register and go to Learning, they have written and video instructions for all stitches in crochet and knitting for Free. And No question is ever stupid, we all start at the beginning. good luck and thanks for asking, Birdie
