I seem to remember a site that had a ton of different granny squares and stitch samples with the how to instructions. It showed you all the different pictures of the samples and then you could chose the one you wanted to make. & it was free.
I can't find the site for the life of me... anyone know what I'm talking about?

I've never been to this. Has anyone else? Rickrackruby had mentioned an upcoming sewing festival as a possible meetup. What do you all think? I'd like to know if it's mostly just quilting or what. Do they sell like cool yarn, crochet hooks, needles, etc? Is it worthwhile to go to or are my $9 better spent on a nice lunch with you gals instead of $9 entry plus lunch?
ROW 1: Ch 54, dc in 4th ch from hook & in each st across, ch 1 turn ROW 2: sk first st,*(sc, ch2, hdc)in next st, REP from * across ending with sc in last st. ch 1 turn ROW 3: 2 sc in first st *working behind ch sp 3sc in each sc across to last sc, 2 sc in last st, ch 1 turn
Does it mean do sc's from the back to the front? am I working the ch space or each stitch? row 3 = ack for me right now!
We have a comicon coming up next month and I'm wondering if any of you can help me out with some ideas for items to crochet & sell @ the comicon? Dh who I had hoped would help me out with some input has shown that his crafty creativity is on hiatus - I guess - uggh!
The only thing I have seen are the animal cosplay hats & a few posts here on craftster, but not a ton of info even when I googled my heart out!
I'd really like to bring in some extra $, help me crafty chicas help!
and I'm on the bodice part and I don't get where I'm supposed to start this part
Front: With WS facing, skip next 6 (8, 10) sc of last long row, join yarn and sc in next 37 (39, 41) sc; TURN. Dec 1 st each end of next 2 RS rows – 33 (35, 37) sc. Work even until 2¼ (2¾, 3)" above division, end WS row.
Right now I'm looking at sort of a square with a long strip to the left of it and I don't know if I'm supposed to skip starting at the far left or from the start of the division of the back..? I get that the back is going to be split so that snaps can be used to close the back... but where to start it is confusing me. & the long strip I would assume will eventually be joined to the front - right?
I feel like I'm reading a language from another planet.
My boys have a fit with a standard patch and I'm just wondering if any of you know of a really neat way to fix jeans and still have the lil' guys happy with it. They keep ripping out their jeans and I'm $ strapped! I thought of making large appliques of their favorite characters, but am hoping someone else has done it before and has pictures!
Help crafty chicas ! Help !
p.s. if I'm in the wrong forum * sorry * mods move thread? thx
Hoping for some regular english translation of row 6 for the Berroco Mars pattern.
I think I just need clarification. So row 6 will be 60 st, then each additional round I need to add another sc each time around between the 2 sc's? Is that right? I'll have to mark the beg. of each round to know when to start inscreasing the sc's right? Maybe I do get this... someone please confirm!
Here's the pattern: BAG (Make 2)
With crochet hook, using MC, ch 4 and join with a sl st to form a ring.
Rnd 1: Work 15 sc’s in ring. Mark last sc with safety pin for end of rnd and move pin up as you work.
Rnd 2: Work 2 sc’s in each sc – 30 sc’s.
Rnd 3: Work 1 sc in each sc – 30 sc’s.
Rnd 4: * Work 1 sc in first sc, work 2 sc’s in next sc, rep from * around 14 times more – 45 sc’s.
Rnd 5: Rep Rnd 3 – 45 sc’s.
Rnd 6: * Work 1 sc in first 2 sc’s, work 2 sc’s in next sc, rep from * around 14 times more – 60 sc’s. Continue in this manner to inc 15 sc’s every other rnd, having 1 more sc between incs each time until piece measures 15” in diameter.
Edging: Working from left to right, work in Reverse sc around entire piece, join with a sl st in first sc. Fasten off.
I have completed most of the halter, but now I get to these instructions and I don't completely get it. Also the picture shows what looks like a shell stitch on the bottom of the halter and I don't see that in the instructions.
I admit to sometimes having slst confusion! Here's the part I don't get:
Step 1: Ch 56 (56, 60, 60, 66), turn. Slst across in each chain. Slst into bottom row (first tie complete) Work sc along the edge of hdc rows, up to row 1. Step 2: ch 56 (56, 60, 60, 66), turn. Slst down each chain, slst into top row (second tie complete) Work sc along top of beginning chain. Step 3: ch 56 (56, 60, 60, 66), turn. Slst down each chain, slst into top row (third tie complete) Work sc down edge of hdc rows, down to last hdc row. Step 4: ch 56 (56, 60, 60, 66), turn. Slst down each chain, slst into 1st hdc in bottom row (fourth tie complete). Step 5: In the first hdc, *work 5 dc , skip next hdc, sc in next 2 hdc. Repeat from * across, ending with a slst in the last hdc. Finish off. Leave long enough tail to weave.
I've been out of AZ for the last 2 months and am in definite need for a meet up! This Saturday is out for me, but maybe in the next few weeks? I just checked out our old posts and this time last year was when we all went to Gracie's for the 50% off sale, SAS, & Haji Baba --- Fun times!
