Nickilee,

If you are coming to Branson, I am sure that someone will be there and able to help you learn how to tell what the pattern is saying to do.

I do crochet and can read general patterns, and have done doilies, etc.

I would think that Rainbow would be able to help you with this, also. She is a crochet-er too.

Oh that is so cute, I crochet, but I just make afghans. I once made a pj panda pillow for Sister Sue but I remember it took lots of hints from my MIL to get it finished.

Oh yes, Nicki, I would be happy to barter with you on this. I do lots of crochet and thread crochet is my specialty. Just let me know.

Some of her patterns are too cute.. snail included.

Thank you Carol but Ivy's daughter jumped in and we will be bartering for some kitties. I just received the pattern via internet (she is super fast!)and think maybe, someday when I have some serious sit-down time I'm actually going to try making one myself.

I would think that anyone who went to Catholic grade school and was taught by nuns would know how to crochet. That is what we did on Friday afternoon.

Cute,cute kitty and fish.

SCLady, how do you find these projects??? That is amazing!!! Crochet thread weighs next to nothing imagine how many yards would be in a ton of thread?? Beyond imagination. How would you even begin to imagine how to make something like this?? TFS

Hi Nickilee,

OK I heard the hint. I do crochet. That probably takes all of 10 minutes to work up. If you would like to get the pattern and pick out a varigated color yarn you want, you can send it to me and I will create some for you. I am not doing them for the whole world mind you but I can do you this favor if you like. Quilter Chris -- Chris Holub 815-427-8103 call me and we can get the details sorted out.

Pat!!!! I didn't expect that kind of answer from sweet little you! LOL!

Aliquilt & Quilter Chris - thank you for the offer but Ivy's daughter is going to make me up a few. I just wanted a couple to make a headband and some barretts for my grand daughter....already thinking about stocking stuffers for her. Appreciate it though.

Libby - That is incredible! Has to be some pretty stong yarn for sure!
