Now, if I could only find where my roommates keep hiding them...

LOL

That would be the very reason why I gave up using them, my couch kept eating them. :D

AcrophobicPixie:
They're in their little container, or in the sweater I'm working on... But my roommates keep moving the little container, so one day it'll be on the coffee table, the next day in the bathroom... Don't ask me why. But they helped me so much on the sweater I'm working on, and my first hat.That, and they are handy if you wind a ball together of two different yarns, when you're finished winding, wrap the loose end around a spare split stitch counter a few times, and it helps keep the two strands together when you start a project, I've found. Made a fuzzy baby hat that way. Looked like a sage "classic Pooh" green and peach version of Faye's russian hat. We now quote Pintsize whenever we see the baby wearing it.

Jayde_T.:
LOL Maybe they just want to see how long it takes you to find them? At some point, I'll probably get myself another set, because they are useful.

I'm going to try to resurrect this thread, because I am an avid crocheter. (Is crocheter a word? It is now!!)

Anyway, I've been crocheting since I was in fifth grade. I am alternately obsessed and apathetic--I can never seem to make myself crochet during the summer. There's something flat-out wrong with crocheting when it's ninety degrees out. Plus, winter always makes me think of stuff-I-need-that-is-made-of-yarn. I am pretty crazy about making hats. I also makes scarves, and I made a really pretty filet crochet shawl with a pretty rose on the back.

I've made one blanket before and I'm in the middle of working on granny squares so I can make an afghan. (Pattern can be found here. Except, in the name of all that is holy, not in those colors. Mine are in gray and white.)

I might post some pictures of projects later. I just wanted to say hello and see if anyone here is still crocheting!

majben:
I just learned to crochet and to knit a few weeks ago. I would like to make arm warmers. I saw a neat design for it using knitting but I'm supposed to crochet a final project. I would appricate it if someone could direct me towards a design I could use.
