RE: Crocheting a Flat Circle
Mary, may be your thread and needle are not matching. If you are following the book pattern then you can not go wrong. If you are doing on your own then you should increase every line either by chain or stitch then it will come flat. If you still have doubt you can write to me.

RE: Crocheting a Flat Circle
The above answers are correct but you have to also make sure that your stitches are all the same tension. If you have a pattern, it should show you the gauge required for your stitches. Crocheting too tight will cause the "bowl" effect and crocheting too lose will cause the "extra" large results. Hope this helped as well.

RE: Crocheting a Flat Circle
The way you increase is by doubling on the second round; i.e., if you start with 3, then do 6 on the second round; for the third round, you increase on every 2nd stitch; fourth row, increase on every 3rd stitch, etc. To increase, you make two stitches in the same stitch. Hope this helps you - I have been crocheting for over 60 years and love it! God bless you.

RE: Crocheting a Flat Circle
You need to increase stitches while you are crocheting in rounds so the circle will lie flat.

I tryed everything. Nothing worked. However, then I tryed Lestoil. Had not used it in years but it worked. Only a little in the washer with detergent and soaked and washed them. Then had to wash them again in detergent and a little bleach to get rid of the Lestoil smell. So only need to use a little bit. They came out clean smelling finally. (I used the no scent detergent seemed to work better than mixing smells) FINALLY SMELL CLEAN THOUGH.

I don't have the answer I have the same problem. A cloth with cooking oil got in the laundry and the clothes smell. I too have tryed everything. Does anything really work. Did something above work for you??

RE: Getting Cooking Smell out of Uniforms
Hi,
Have you tried soaking them in baking soda and/or white vinegar and using the hottest water that is safe for the fabric? The reason the smell doesn't come out of your clothing is that it picks up grease spatters. You have to get the grease out to get rid of the smell. You might also try a product called soda ash. I'm not sure where to get it these days, but it is commonly used on clothing by oilfield workers. Borax is something else you can try, it is found in the laundry product aisle of grocery stores. Or you might try getting hold of some Fulsol, made by Fuller Brush. It is concentrated, so mix it with water and soak the garments. Another thing I have used is waterless hand cleaner to remove grease and it works pretty well. It's also cheap; you can get it for about $1.00 a can at Wal-Mart or the Dollar Store. For a bad spot, I use an old toothbrush to rub it in. Let sit, then wash in the hottest water that is safe for the material. Hope some of these ideas help.
Mary
