BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Crochet Is anyone following the lessons ?

If you are following the lessons...what do you think, are you learning new stuff or I am just going over what you allready know ?

I LOVE the lessons. The first couple of lessons was mostly a review for me but now I am learn new things. I love what you are teaching us because we can use it to come up with our own patterns. I hope you are not going to stop anytime soon. I have no friends that crochet and have taught myself to read a pattern and the basics, I really love the chance to have lessons and other things to work on besides book patterns!!!

Yes I made copies of them for there are times this old girls memory just isn't what it use to be. I think it is very helpful.

Hi Karen, I do not have any intention of stopping I just didn't see many post here so I wasn't sure if I was boring everyone. Thank you for letting me know. You got it exactly right I am trying to teach so that eventually you will be able to design your own pattern.

I love the lessons! I came in at the 13th lesson. I have been going back to the lessons library and printing out the other lessons. As soon as I am all caught up, I'll start going over the lessons from start to finish. Although I've been crocheting for years, I can always use a refresher. I love the circles and triangles, but I'll wait until I've done all the others before I tackle them. I'm going to keep my lesson samples in a swatch book. From now on I'll keep swatches, and date them, perhaps even include a picture of the finished project with them too.
Thank you so much for doing this!!

You are welcome, what a great idea for the scrap/sample book. Now why didn't I think of that!!

Hi Eva
Just printed off Lesson 19 to add to the others. I'm keeping them all as a handy reference. Was glad to see you address Hairpin Lace as I have a loom and used it once years ago to make a dressing gown/housecoat but have long since lost all instructions I might have had.

Great, glad to hear it. Make sure to see Lesson 20 I am going to put up a really good use for Hairpin Lace.

Thumbs up on the lessons!! I love 'em. Did you see the shawl pattern in the Crochet! magazine? It is Hairpin Lace and it is really pretty.

No I didn't, I don't subscribe to that magazine.
