GOOD MORNING

This morning I would like to say that I am looking forward to having lots of visitors here.
And, I'm hoping that will happen soon. :) Pretty much everything I've been talking about
has to do with crochet, my favorite art. 

So, let's continue discussing crochet.  Turning to hooks; with crochet, hooks are used.  The
majority of hooks are sized by letter.  When you see a number, it's generally a small hook
that is used for thread crochet.  The letters on crochet hooks can range from A to Q and
possibly higher.  As yet, I've not seen any higher than Q but there could be I suppose.

There are lots of stitches used in crochet.  The basic ones are chain, single crochet, half
double crochet, double crochet and treble crochet.  With stitches, abbreviations are used.
Chain is ch, single crochet is sc, half double crochet is hdc, double crochet is dc and
treble crochet is trc.  Also, there is a stitch for ending off that is a slip stitch, abbreviated
as sls.

All of these stitches are used in one way or another to make stitches like puff stitch,
front and back post stitches v-stitch, and lots of other different stitches.  So, take for
instance, I started making a pair of booties.  I would gather my supplies; hook, yarn,
scissors and pattern.  The pattern calls for ch, sc, and sls.  This is an easy pattern to
follow for me because not many stitches are used.

There are all kinds patterns that can be found on the internet; free patterns and patterns
that can be bought.  Just about anything one wants to create, a pattern can be found.  I
have collected lots of patterns and would truly love to make them all.  That's my dream.
