Howdy,

Welcome .... I've been a member for about a year now ... Crocheting is my fav of working with yarns - I have been crocheting for years and years and years taught when I was a girl ... a long time ago. over 30years, my fav to make is afghans ... my family calls me the afghan queen.  I make about 8 - 12 a year, depending on the size and time I have.  I love the feel of a crochet hook between your fingers and the yarn as it makes it way around and through the fingers to the hook and nothing makes a feel as good a finishing a project.

Welcome to the page ... I hope you get lots out of it .... there's always something new to learn in crochet!

Hi, Nora Toney I'm new to the site as well, I live in St. Petersburg, FL and I like to crochet as well.  I've been crocheting for a long time but came here to hopefully learn some new techniques and ideas about yarn as well.

What I normally do is take a crochet hook that is about three sizes smaller than the one I actually crocheted the piece with and work my way through the loops of the stitches beside the tail and catch it with the hook and pull it through. .  I make it travel a ways through several stitches before I cut it.  I.f there is more sticking out after you pull it though trim it with scissors.  I don't know if it is the correct way or not but it always has worked for me and it hasn't worked its way out.  I use to sew the ends down when I joined a new skein but I learned a technique that is pretty nifty it is called a Russian Join.  It keeps from having to tie knots in your piece.  If you go to You Tube and type in Russian Join there are a couple of videos that shows you how to do this and it keeps you from having to weave in your ends in the middle of your piece.  Now that I know how to do this, I'm using it all the time.  Hope this helps.
