learn to knit or chochet

[Drygoods]

Greetings,

I don't know if anyone is interested in learning how to knit or crochet, but the Craft Yarn Council of America has a new program to teach Americans the hobby of knitting and crochet. If you need the basic instructions you can look at www.learntocrochet.com or www.learntoknit.com

The sites are made for beginners with resources for instructions, patterns, a dictionary of abbreviations, and a bulletin board where you can share your experiences. Mind you, you probably will not find any historic CW patterns there, but perhaps some assistance. Several of the threads on this forum have been of great benefit to me with authentic patterns and needlework help.

I am sure that there are probably better sites out there, and certainly the other veterans of this board can make better suggestions. I just thought it might be interesting to those who do not have access to a local yarn shop for classes. Just FYI

Mfr,

Re: learn to knit or chochet

I have a question if there is someone out there who wouldnt mind taking a few moments to assist me.

I have my stitches practiced, now is just learning the wording of the
instructions. Thank you to everyone for your help. It is very much
appreicated it. Once I have the wording figured out i can make more of these
without fail and be able to apply this to other patterns. Yah !!

I have the first row done all the way and up to the first tremble (which i have done) on the second row but im a bit lost as to how to start the next row. am i just repeating what i did in the first row? And what does the astrik mean?. and the 5th st? I dont understand what im suposed to do with that one. That astrik keeps stumping me.

1st row: 1 long treble crochet (long tr) in 12th st from hook, * ch 4, skip 4
sts on ch 1 long tr in next st; repeat from *, ending ch 4, skip 1 st, 1 long
tr in last st. Ch 9, turn.

2nd row: 1 long tr in first long tr of row below, * ch 4, 1 long tr in next
long tr; repeat from *, ending ch 4, 1 long tr in 5th st of turning ch, ch 4, 1
long tr in same st as last long tr. Ch 9, turn.

Thank you so much. Once I get past row too I should be good for awhile.
