<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Between my art work and my Etsy shop, I'm trying to learn how to eat healthier. I'm not doing very good.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I HAVE added 3 days of exercise a week and each is 1 hour long. I do yoga on Monday and Tuesday and Thursday I do some weight exercises. I've been doing that for about 2 months and it feels good! It's called Silver Sneakers and it's FREE!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I want to eat less carbs, less is easy but cutting out bread, pasta and crackers is really difficult for me.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ch 3 (counts as first dc), turn.<br /><br />These are some of the most familiar words </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">in the crocheter's language. They signal </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">the end of one double crochet row and the </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">start of another. That chain 3 works to get </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">your yarn up to the proper height for the </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">next stitch. It's also (in my opinion) a fiendish </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">ploy designed to drive the stitcher crazy.<br /><br />You know what I mean - you've been there </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">yourself. You're zipping along, you and your </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">hook, dancing through the yarn and </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">crocheting like the dickens, when all of a </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">sudden you reach the end of the row.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Screech! The happy momentum comes </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">to a crashing halt as you poke around in </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">the turning chain, looking for the right place </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">to put your last stitch"...............</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We're just about to get on the road again after spending all winter at Rio Bend RV park as workampers........I've been teaching Zumba Fitness and my husband working in the maintenance department. When we're on the road, we're heading home to Washington State, I love to knit or crochet.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My next project will be to make another of those chair arm bags only this time I want to use plastic grocery bags. I think it'll have less sag and more stability. It's been so nice to have it hanging there with my journal, puzzles, pens, pencils and phone right at hand. It's big enough to add a little snack, too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So here it is repeated:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1AKYPKMzMDw/Uf19PR0QorI/AAAAAAAACpU/jgldS5oXjMo/s1600/photo%283%29.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1AKYPKMzMDw/Uf19PR0QorI/AAAAAAAACpU/jgldS5oXjMo/s320/photo(3).JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ok,
so here's the pattern as promised. If you crochet, you know how to
make adjustments for your chair arm. Make sure you measure. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Chair Pocket</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cotton yarn</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">G hook</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gauge isn't that important</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Chain 40</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Round 1, SC in
2ndh chain from hook and each chain to end, SC 3 in end chain and do not
turn but continue crocheting around the other side of the 40 chains
adding 2 in the end stitch.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Rounds 2 and 3, repeat round 1 so you have 3 rounds with increases on each end.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Round 4, SC in each stitch around with NO increases for about 3 rows, or desired number of rows to make a more solid bottom.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Round 6, if you want, change to a DC around each row for about 17 or desired size of pouch. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Because you
crocheted around, the stitches/rows tend to twist so begin next row by
slip stitch to the corner so the flap goes straight up the side. About 4
sts.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WHbEm3qvIDQ/Uf17aB20zTI/AAAAAAAACo8/TLcD02UOYZA/s1600/photo%281%29.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WHbEm3qvIDQ/Uf17aB20zTI/AAAAAAAACo8/TLcD02UOYZA/s320/photo(1).JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now crochet in
rows going back and forth to the desired length so that it fits around
the arm of your chair. I am using mine on a passenger seat in the motor
home so they are quite thick and big. I did 35 rows and then:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you want a
contrasting color, I had to because I ran out of the orange, attach it
at the top in corner going down the side of the flap till you get to the
pouch, sc across the top of the pouch and back up the other side of the
flap. End off.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Try the pouch on
the arm and determine where the buttons should go. I used 3 but 4 might
be better depending on the width of your pouch. Sew on buttons and use
the spaces between the DC as button holes. Waalaa! Chair pouch!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I would love to
see your finished project if you could send me a picture I'll post it.
kma2053@gmail.com Thank you and comment, too, so I know if you like to
see more free patterns.</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Have
you ever ever had this problem? Of course you have unless you've seen
this awesome website with a tutorial on how to avoid this jog when
crocheting in the round. Find it here:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Excerpt taken from her website:</span></span><br />
<h1 class="content-title">
"Tutorial: Crocheted Jogless Stripes</h1>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />A common problem in amigurumi: you want to crochet
something striped, but there's this funky looking stairstep "seam"
running diagonally where you change colors. How do you get rid of
that!?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />EDIT: I've also put together a pair of videos showing this technique in action. You can view them here:</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> "</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://needlenoodles.com/home/node/165"> </a></span></span><a href="http://needlenoodles.com/home/node/165"><br /></a><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://needlenoodles.com/home/node/165">http://needlenoodles.com/home/node/165</a></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So
go ahead and take a look and come back for more helpful hints and
websites that can help make your needlework look more professional and
beautiful. We can all learn something new.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Ch 3 (counts as first dc), turn.<br /><br />These are some of the most familiar words </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">in the crocheter's language. They signal </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">the end of one double crochet row and the </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">start of another. That chain 3 works to get </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">your yarn up to the proper height for the </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">next stitch. It's also (in my opinion) a fiendish </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">ploy designed to drive the stitcher crazy.<br /><br />You know what I mean - you've been there </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">yourself. You're zipping along, you and your </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">hook, dancing through the yarn and </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">crocheting like the dickens, when all of a </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">sudden you reach the end of the row.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> Screech! The happy momentum comes </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">to a crashing halt as you poke around in </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">the turning chain, looking for the right place </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">to put your last stitch"...............</span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1AKYPKMzMDw/Uf19PR0QorI/AAAAAAAACpU/jgldS5oXjMo/s1600/photo(3).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1AKYPKMzMDw/Uf19PR0QorI/AAAAAAAACpU/jgldS5oXjMo/s320/photo(3).JPG" width="240" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ok, so here's the pattern as promised. If you crochet, you know how to make adjustments for your chair arm. Make sure you measure. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Chair Pocket</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cotton yarn</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">G hook</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gauge isn't that important</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Chain 40</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Round 1, SC in 2ndh chain from hook and each chain to end, SC 3 in end chain and do not turn but continue crocheting around the other side of the 40 chains adding 2 in the end stitch.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Rounds 2 and 3, repeat round 1 so you have 3 rounds with increases on each end.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Round 4, SC in each stitch around with NO increases for about 3 rows, or desired number of rows to make a more solid bottom.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Round 6, if you want, change to a DC around each row for about 17 or desired size of pouch. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Because you crocheted around, the stitches/rows tend to twist so begin next row by slip stitch to the corner so the flap goes straight up the side. About 4 sts.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WHbEm3qvIDQ/Uf17aB20zTI/AAAAAAAACo8/TLcD02UOYZA/s1600/photo(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WHbEm3qvIDQ/Uf17aB20zTI/AAAAAAAACo8/TLcD02UOYZA/s320/photo(1).JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now crochet in rows going back and forth to the desired length so that it fits around the arm of your chair. I am using mine on a passenger seat in the motor home so they are quite thick and big. I did 35 rows and then:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you want a contrasting color, I had to because I ran out of the orange, attach it at the top in corner going down the side of the flap till you get to the pouch, sc across the top of the pouch and back up the other side of the flap. End off.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Try the pouch on the arm and determine where the buttons should go. I used 3 but 4 might be better depending on the width of your pouch. Sew on buttons and use the spaces between the DC as button holes. Waalaa! Chair pouch!</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am working on my version of the chair pocket pattern. It's just a different stitch and being my chair arm is so different, there needed to be some revisions.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I must apologize that my chair pocket is weird........I ran out of the orange cotton yarn and finished with another color but, hey!, hit's for me and I really didn't care.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'll come back tomorrow and post the pattern and a picture.</span></span><br />

Crochet Chair Pocket<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was shown a pattern on <a href="http://freepatterns.com/">FreePatterns.com</a>. It's called a chair pouch and crocheted with a different stitch than usual (a ds stitch which is a double stitch) and with nylon. Great idea. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I don't have any nylon to crochet with so am using cotton and I'm using a normal sc and a dc stitch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I will be posting my pattern as soon as I can. That pattern is also free so check it out, too. I'm not saying mine is better, I like them both.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This pattern was drawn to my attention by a sweet lady on a crocheting yahoo group. Thank you so much Lisa and she has a neat website. Please check it out, too.</span><br />

So get ready for six weeks of luscious color prompts, weekly linking opportunities, beautiful giveaways, creative inspirations and an amazingly supportive community that <i>You</i>, the Artist, help to produce. </span></div>

Each week, you'll have the chance to vote for one of 12 different color combinations by taking a poll at the end of each post. Simply pick your favorite and, in majority rules fashion, the highest rated one wins. Come back the following Monday to see the results and get started. As always, you'll work in your preferred mediums - creating anything your little heart desires - with color being the only stipulation."..............................</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">AND it's future. Knitting and crocheting isn't the only things that I do. I've been sitting here thinking about what this blog means to me and what I really want it to be for you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have so many likes, dislikes, interests and real loves of so many different crafts and so many people don't understand how I can do so much and do it well. It's not all that bad to do so much. I was always told to stick to one thing and learn it well but I am not the type of person that can do that. Nope, not me.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I find nothing wrong with loving to do more than one thing, hobby, or interest at one time. Afterall, many women love their husband, their children, love to sew and cook........hey, that's more than one thing. I've done a real close look at my loves..........</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started out with fiber arts, that a more professional way of saying knitting and crocheting. My Mother was making a knitted afghan out of square blocks of knitted yarn in dark colors. I remember purple and blues for sure. I helped her knit them at the age of 10. Lots of us started knitting and crocheting at a very young age. Many say, "I've been knitting all my life!" And many many have been, just as I feel I have been. <b>I would love to hear from all of you who would like to share what age you were when you learned to knit or crochet. Did your mother teach you? Your grandmother? Let me know in the comments. </b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do you want to know my likes in crafting, needlework, etc?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started with knitting as I stated above. I knew I loved art and did lots of drawing and painting as a child. I remember using bottle caps, erasers, toys and drew geometric patterns coloring in all the areas with bright colors. We only had crayons at that time.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We, my sister and I, as we got older would draw rooms or just one corner of a room and worked so hard at getting the perspective correct. Of course, we didn't know it was perspective.......it was just the corners. Art was my favorite subject in school.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I learned to sew in school; middle school and high school, as part of Home Ec. I always took on the hardest patterns I could find. I once tried to make a plaid men's sport coat! At age 15! I didn't know how to match plaid and a sport jacket?! What was I thinking! My poor Mother just shook her head and said she couldn't help but I did finally get it done. Amazing!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then after I got married and became a stay at home Mom, I learned how to crochet and embroider and kept going with my painting.......this time pictures not geometric patterns. I tried oils but didn't like the smell nor how long it took to dry. I continued sewing and made all my own clothes and those of the kids. I used to create my own patterns by taking parts of one and combining it with another. I also have always cut our hair.......even my husband's and I still do to this day. The kids take care of their own now that they are in their 30s and 40s, but I still cut my own.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really got into crafts when most everyone did. Remember the big craft surge, craft sales, and shows? Was that in the 90's.........early 90's, I think. I made it my full time job while the kids were off to school everyday. I had my own band saw and sander. I designed and painted all my wood items to sell. I did that for about 10 years till things just weren't selling anymore, the crowds got smaller and sales almost quit! I was doing shows and was in about 3 consignment shops. Remember them?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I continued to design and became a craft designer for that industry traveling about every 6 months to sell my designs. I went to NYC, Dallas, Orlando, MPLS, Chicago, places in CA and also took the test to become a Professional Craft Designer and Professional Craft Demonstrator at the trade shows. I worked for Plaid, Syndicate Sales, and a few others. I loved every minute of it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here we are to today. I continue to craft, knit, crochet, paint and create! I have added crochet jewelry, beading, working with wire, I love Kumihimo, working on our family tree, acrylic painting, filet crochet design, watercolor painting, mixed media and love love love paper........I make albums, journals and paper beads. I can't wait to add, polymer clay bead making and calligraphy. Oh there's so much to do and so little time. Have you heard of Viking knitting with wire!!??</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will be showing you all the things I've created. It's going to take some time but I hope to be able to go back and show you what I have done. If you've followed this blog or have gone into the archives, you can see some of the stuff or you can go to artsandcraftsdotcom.blogspot.com to see even more.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have tons of filet crochet patterns I can share and some I can sell you, I have lots of jewelry to share, my crocheting, painting, on and on. So stay tuned.........</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Don't forget to tell my about your knitting and crocheting beginnings. I'd love to hear from you!</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keep creating!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As promised, I will post a <i>new and improved</i> crochet pattern for my tea cozy. I love love tea, don't you? A hot cup of tea on a drizzly chilly rainy morning........oh, so good.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I posted a not-real-good picture of my purple one a month ago or so. Where does time go!? At least a month ago but I'm too lazy to go find out the exact date. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://gan.doubleclick.net/gan_click?lid=41000613802463762&pid=NTMKGP3261&adurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.funtoymall.com%2Fntmkgp3261.html&usg=AFHzDLsIC6cOrn63PiL9aaGGLo6BR3LH7g&pubid=622659" rel="nofollow" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I finally finished what I think is a tea cozy that should fit most round pot belly type tea pots. It doesn't hurt to continue to measure as you go. You do want it to fit? <span style="color: #cc0000;"> If you do not join at the end of the rounds, make sure you use a marker.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">I made two cozies and put one inside the other. I also made the inside one a bit longer with a different colored edge so it showed beneath the upper one. Please read through instructions first and test your hook and yarn for the gauge.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here we go:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Crochet hook size H</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">cotton yarn such as Sugar and Cream</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I used one really large skein of Bernat bought at JoAnns, must have been a pound or two. I don't have the label anymore</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">GAUGE: 8 STS TO 1" AND 5 ROWS TO 1"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Chain 2, 8sc in 2nd chain from hook, join</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. 2 sc in each sc around, join (16 sts)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. 1 sc in first sc, (2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in next sc continue around in this manner) (24 sts)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. 2 sc in first sc, (2 sc, 2 sc in next stitch, continue around in this manner) (32 sts)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. 2 sc in first sc, (3 sc in next stitch, continue around in this manner) (40 sts)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. 2 sc in first sc, (4 sc, 2 sc in next stitch, continue around in this manner) (50 sts)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7. sc around one row</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8. 2 sc in first sc, (5 sc, 2 sc in next stitch, continue around in this manner) (60 sts)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">9. sc around one row</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10. 2 sc in first sc, (6 sc , 2sc in next stitch continue around in this manner) (70 sts)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">11. sc around one row</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">12. 2 sc in first sc, (7 sc, 2 sc in next stitch continue around in this manner) ( 80 sts)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">13. sc around one row</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">14. 2 sc in first sc, (8 sc, 2 sc in next stitch continue around in this manner) ( 90 sts)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">15. and 16. sc around</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">17. 2 sc in first sc, (9 sc in next stitch continue around in this manner) (100 sts)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">18. Now the tea cozy will begin cupping, or it should (LOL not funny I know) so continue with as many sc rows you need to make the cozy the length you want minus about 1".</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you reach this point:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. DC in each sc around, join if you are doing so or just keep going around. Make sure you have the beginning marked. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Dc around dc from previous row from front to back making a post, dc around dc of previous row from back to front making a post and continue around.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Repeat rows one and two till the desired length.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Sc around to finish</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Crochet a loop and attach it to the top</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">NOTES</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I made mine double thickness so made another one and slipped it over the top of the first one. They fit snugly. The top one can be shorter than the underneath one or can be the same length.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If it isn't cupping or might be too big for your tea pot, you can decrease evenly about 5 stitches every few rows so you need to think ahead.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I sometimes change colors during this section of the process to make stripes. You can join at the end of every row or not. That's up to you but it does make for a neater finish if you plan on changing colors.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you find any errors, please let me know........I wrote this as I worked so it should be correct.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy crocheting!</span>

While you're waiting for my revision on the crochet tea cozy, I will tell you about this website, <a href="http://www.stitch-story.com/2013/03/crochet-designers-blog-tour-day-1-fun.html" target="_blank">Crochet Designer Blog</a>. Called also, a Stitch Story. Day 1. Very interesting reading and a fun site to visit.<br />
<br />
I especially like her idea to......well here is what she had to say about discovering a pretty technique:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">"<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.890625px;">I decided that my special post to kick off National Crochet Month, should be about a new technique I have been experimenting with. Actually my daughter gave me the idea, when she asked if she could use some of my swatches for an art project. She said they weren't the right color, and she needed to paint them to match her color scheme. She used acrylic paint, so when the pieces were dry, they were rigid, but she was pleased with the results. I loved the idea of being able to place color exactly where I want it, after a piece has been crocheted. A neat alternative to changing colors in yarn, and having multiple ends to weave in!"</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.890625px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.890625px;">What a beautiful idea, huh?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.890625px;"><br /></span>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The crochet pattern for the tea cozy has some problems. I am so glad I tried it myself. Don't know what I was doing that day but I didn't like the way it turned out so I am going to re-write the pattern and re-post it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So don't despair, I'll be back in a day or so because I am working on it right now. I love this tea cozy so much, I shared the pattern and I cannot let it go without fixing it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They make wonderful gifts and I was thinking that the word T E A could be applied with felt letter, embroidered, painted or whatever you can come up with. How cute, huh?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will post a picture of the new one, but hopefully, it'll come out like the purple one or way more like it than the pattern I posted.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Be patient! And come back.</span></div>

Crochet Tea Cozy time!<br />
<br />
<br />
OK, so no one is with me yet on the crochet challenge. I am starting right now anyway.<br />
<br />
I am using yellow cotton and here's the pattern again.<br />

I REALLY feel like a crochet project right now. I've messed around enough! It's time to crochet! Who's with me?<br />
<br />
We could do a project together, or at the same time, and I'll post our progress and our finished projects.<br />
<br />
I think I am going to make this what I posted a few weeks ago. My tea cozy! <a href="http://knitandcrochetpatternchat.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html" target="_blank">Tea Cozy Pattern</a><br />
