You too? No worries, you are not alone! This is usually due to gaining and/or loosing stitches in each row. In the video, I address the most common reasons why this happens and how you can have straight sides.<br />
<br />

Truly there is no right or wrong way, just whatever method keeps consistent yarn tension and ease of movement for your hook. In this video, I show you 4 yarn holds and 2 hook holds. Try them all and experiment with the ways you see other crocheters do it too. <br />

As with any international move, there has been emotional ups and downs, but my one constant "up" is crochet. If a crochet hook is in my hand then a smile is on my lips. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A highlight of my day has been playing crochet doctor for a member of Crochet Connection of Chicago, a Crochet Guild of America chapter. It is something I can actually do from 6500 miles away. This was the question:</div>

And when you finally stop, you ask yourself, "what was I thinking!?" <b>Today's tip: build break times into your pattern.</b> I always make a photocopy of my patterns and then write all over them as I work my project. This also makes it easy to set break times within the pattern. Just write it in every 10 or so rows. You know your pattern and speed, so you decide how often.<br />
<br />
At break time, get up and walk around. Do some finger aerobics, like alternating making a fist and spreading your fingers into a flat hand or make the sign language sign for "<a href="http://www.handspeak.com/word/index.php?dict=fl&signID=818">flash</a>" repeatedly. Maybe some jumping jacks to get the blood flowing again. Certainly stretch out those tight places.<br />
<br />
Eye strain can be a common nusance. Combat this by looking at things that are different distances away. Your crochet is rather close to you so look at something far away and then at something half that distance away. Vary the order that you look at those things and for how long. Allow your eyes to adjust to each distance. Think "eye aerobics."<br />
<br />
Find out what works best for you during those break times. Your body will be less stressed from the constant repetition of crochet movements and you'll be able to crochet for longer periods of time.Tashiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17461807839371325814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703862837713128419.post-64620540002252016052011-03-09T22:04:00.001-06:002011-03-11T14:17:43.115-06:00betterfly.comCheck out betterfly.com/tashiab!

Today I complete two Christmas gifts. Not Christmas 2011 but Christmas 2010. (So you can see why I'm so excited!!)<br />
<br />
First of all, today I finished an infinity cowl for Tabatha. I found it on ravelry, and you can view the pattern at <a href="http://brookeanndove.blogspot.com/2010/12/holy-crap-i-need-present-pronto.html">http://brookeanndove.blogspot.com/2010/12/holy-crap-i-need-present-pronto.html</a>. I started it last night and finished this afternoon. I think I spent 3-4 hours on it all together.<br />
<br />

And secondly, I completed a pair of crocheted socks for Tyler. This pattern was a real find because the designer created a template that can be adapted to any yarn weight and gauge. (<a href="http://www.crochetandknitting.com/sockstemplate.htm">http://www.crochetandknitting.com/sockstemplate.htm</a>) These socks are bulky weight made with a J-10 hook. The first was done in several sessions and felt like it took a long time because I was adjusting the template along the way and measuring the sock for Tyler's foot. The second sock was super easy and quick, taking me 3 hours.<br />

It took me a year to complete and it is a type of chronicle for my growing crochet skills. I learned an incredible amount about working in the round and joining pieces!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoOrrNagOtN4ZjPOTrYKs8DpiuIy8Qh23CiOQJxLV5fyeFDbwBPzPXtbJCd2lSTeyd1zwr_EE7QYWLoLrQz89EskNR5b-hSQReZvoqgK5dcF5AZZQqdynPHyvT0S1mIYEw2JU0CahiVg5L/s1600/Trinity%2527s+afghan+.+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoOrrNagOtN4ZjPOTrYKs8DpiuIy8Qh23CiOQJxLV5fyeFDbwBPzPXtbJCd2lSTeyd1zwr_EE7QYWLoLrQz89EskNR5b-hSQReZvoqgK5dcF5AZZQqdynPHyvT0S1mIYEw2JU0CahiVg5L/s320/Trinity%2527s+afghan+.+1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
These lessons are now passed onto my students at Knit 1. (Interestingly, last Monday's beginning crochet class focused on working in the round and we made granny squares.) With this afghan, the most valuable working-in-the-round lesson I learned was <b>the difference between working into the front of a stitch and working into the back</b>. When working a project where you create <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">ROWS</span>, you are looking at the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">back </span>of the stitches from the previous row. When working a project in the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">ROUND</span>, you are looking at the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">front </span>of the stitches from the previous row. In the picture below, item A is the back view and item B is the front view. Notice a difference? At the top of every crochet stitch is a "V". In item A, the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">back view</span>, the "V" tip is to the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">left</span>. In item B, the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">front view</span>, the "V" tip is to the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">right</span>.<br />
<br />

This is very significant for knowing where to place your hook to create your next stitch. In the picture below, item C shows where you would place your hook to create a stitch when working into the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">back </span>and it is to the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">left</span>. Item D shows where you would place your hook to create a stitch when working into the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">front </span>and it is to the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">right</span>. When you are working in the round and continue to place your hook to the left, as if creating rows, then your stitches will be off by one space. This one space may not sound like a lot, but in most patterns it will make a big difference.<br />

There has been a backlog of those submitting a portfolio for review so I expect to have a few more months to wait, then a month longer while it is being reviewed. In the meantime, I am remaking some of the swatches. I started the portfolio by using cotton and, based on the ravelry discussion, cotton does not do well with the reviewers. Somewhere near the end I switched to wool and now I'm returning to the beginning and remaking those that could really look better in wool.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I went through my yarn, hooks and book stash and cataloged everything on ravelry. Whew! I think ravelry's "bookshelf" is really neat! It is so fun to see all of my books and magazines displayed that way. And the best part is that I can do a pattern search based on only MY books and magazines. So awesome! Not all my books and magazines were in ravelry's system, but life goes on.<br />
<br />
My goal is to complete the the master's portfolio and the 2 unfinished projects (a filet crochet tank top and and afghan) before I begin any projects in my ravelry queue!! It does feel good to be productive and not procrastinate anymore. :)Tashiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17461807839371325814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703862837713128419.post-88396563690833262542011-01-17T17:13:00.000-06:002011-01-17T17:13:00.551-06:00sharing the creativity of crochetPrepping for a crochet class tonight. It is so awesome to be able to share crochet with others and give them an outlet for their creativity. Today I went through magazines looking for motif patterns that the students can work on. How fun! I'm excited for tonight's class.<br />

My goal this week was to complete the masters crochet program but I don't think I'm gonna make it. Which means I'll have to ask for an extension. I've really enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to anyone wanting to develop their crochet skills. The first half comes with descriptions as to how to create the swatch they are asking for, including diagrams for clarity. Chances are that if you've been crocheting a while and/or have done a variety of crochet projects then you can complete this program. For me this was money very well spent!! Visit the Crochet Guild of America website at www.crochet.org for more info.<br />

I start a new series of the BEGINNING CROCHET CLASS and a brand-new series of TUNISIAN CROCHET PROJECT CLASS in September. Each series is 4 sessions.

This evening I am seaming together the filet crochet tank top I've been working on for the last couple of months. It is almost done. But it may be set aside to complete the Masters Crochet program with a deadline at the end of August. If need be, I can ask for a 2-week extension. I'll have to see how it goes.Tashiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17461807839371325814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703862837713128419.post-3463991540543508102010-07-17T23:19:00.000-05:002010-07-17T23:19:55.242-05:00Midwest Fiber & Folk Art Fair 2010Today I went to the Midwest Fiber & Folk Art Fair at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Grayslake, IL. So much fun! I was able to spend time with some ladies from Crochet Connection, new friends from other meetup groups and ladies from Knit 1. Oh, the knowledge. Oh, the creativity! I was impressed many times with the absolute creativity and fiber genius I saw. Unfortunately, I'm not a big picture taker and looking over the ones I took, there were certain things that I wished I had taken pictures of. Like the mongo knitting needles and crochet hooks from Bagsmith Big Stitch. (Size U crochet hook!?!) All of the fiber was actually quite overwhelming. There were so many choices! Hand-spun and hand-dyed yarns are costly. I regret not having money to buy some of the great products I saw. But one day ...<br />
