Hi! I'm Katybug! Have been using your site forever but just registered today. I love all the neat patterns!

I was wanting the Q-hook multi afghan but both the picture and the pattern is missing. I have a twin bed and Mexicana is my favorite Red Heart multi. So I was interested.

Thanks for all you guys do. It is much appreciated.

Hi

It took awhile to get on here, but I'm so glad I did.

I learnt to crochet from the nurses in the hospital when I gave birth to my daughter. Due to a health problem, I had to go into the hospital 2 months earlier than a normal person giving birth. The nurses would come and sit with me and they'd bring their crocheting with them. I could knit, but I wanted to learn to crochet. So they taught me to crochet when I was lying around in bed. The day I gave birth, I wasn't thinking about having a baby, but I was crocheting in my head trying to remember how to hold the hook. So that's my story!

Concerning my previous post - I went back and looked at the post for the Q-hook multi. It looks like I should buy 2 or 3 skeins of Mexicana yarn, ch 120 with a Q hook, then triple crochet until the blanket is big enough for a twin bed. Is that right?

Cathy, I'm so glad you had good nurses and that they were willing to teach you to crochet.

I started learning when I was 16 and my first son was a baby. I learned from an article in either Woman's Day or Family Circle - back then they were nineteen cents an issue and I couldn't afford much else but I managed to buy 1 hook and 1 skein of yaarn. I got frustrated and put it down. Picked it up and tried again. Got frustrated and put it down, etc, etc. I finally got the hang of it - would've been easier if I'd had someone to show me - but it was just me & the baby - my husband was at work. After I married the second time, I really got into crocheting. I'm 53 now and can honestly say that many, many times crocheting has saved my sanity (there's been many a bump in life's road).
