Thanks DC.

Just had to share!!

The really funny part was ---it took them FOREVER to find 'that right spot' this morning!!!

Welllllllllllll --I got the last part of that question down REAL GOOD???

Still practicing - now I try to do AT LEAST a little bit each day...so the feeble little brain won't forget!!! Haven't made anything, just practicing the stitches on a chain. Not sure I will EVER be able to read a pattern????!!!

FF - again...you are so gifted and creative at the machine....nice to have a back up hobby that you can take with you...

And I really would like to learn this. I haven't seen 'my coach' since we bought the stuff so it has just been the books and myself. (I have 3 and got 2 from the library) SOMETHING should work!!

Came up with a new idea this AM so I can 'do something' besides just idle stitching.......have worked up through double crochet(chain, sl st, sc, hdc, and dc) so now I will make squares with nothing but the one stitch. Think I have them learned - just need to get them uniform. Was working on half double last night and where I was trying to 'put it' was done so TIGHT I couldn't get the needle through....
