Report Spam or Abuse RE: Crocheting Warm Blankets Post By Tina (Guest Post) (04/11/2008) I'm looking for a site that will tell me all about the double and triple stitch (?is there such a thing?) in "laymen's" terms. I can do the first chain and then last night I started the next thing by wrapping the yarn around needle and pushing it through the chain (I'm doing it every 2 or 3 stitches), hooking it and pulling it through the first two and then the next two and then starting over. Not sure if I'm doing it right and I'm having a really hard time finding things on the internet that explains it in simple terms. I don't understand what a double stitch or triple stitch or turning corners means. Can someone help? I'm trying to make a blanket for a king size bed (or at least just a big blanket if it doesn't fit my bed).

I couldnt (and still can't) read a pattern and have it make sence to me. My friend showed me how to do chain stitch. Then I watched her do single stitches, then man I went to town! lol once you start and you see that what you are doing is forming somthing you cant stop! :) I rememember thinking *if I just go back and forth this may even be a blanket in the end!* lol Well I still have that so called blanket..(its twin size) I only let my kids use it if they were laying on the couch. They weren't allowed to drag it around the house. NOW my grandkids use it on the couch. They dont even ask to use it on the floor. Oh... I tought myself the double and triple stitch but I thought I was making it up.. later I saw somone elses and said *oh shoot I thought I invented that* lol Its addictive and you become determined. I even made a square afgan.. and yes turning corners was hard for me. The funny thing about the square one was that I didnt know to pay attention to the type of yarn I bought.. that square afgan was 100% wool and HUGE.. well I washed it in the washer at that time BIG mistake! Now its like a baby blanket!! lol What can I say I was a kid myself at that time! lol I love this place it always brings back memories when I read posts!

I then unpick them and wind into skiens, Wash them in wool wash, and start crocheting using three or more colours. I made one with Mohair and it is so warm light and cuddly Report Spam or Abuse RE: Crocheting Warm Blankets Post By Melinda (Guest Post) (02/23/2006) Have you ever thought of donating your blankets to project linus?
