Don't know how to do that either but will figure out. If you have any good advise it would be appreciated. What about ragged, would that be good.

(On a different topic: I talked with Bernie and Jeanie about our online "meeting" and they think we should meet in person next time I get up to your area. What do you think?)

My sister just learned she has brain cancer and she used to sew too. I took over her quilts too, now am making for charity in her name as well. Hopefully she will some day be able to do it again, she is improving after chemo and radiation. I will continue as long as I need to. That's the least we can do for each other.

Hi Barbara, That is wonderful. I know how you feel.
I have been just crocheting as many hours as I can for the last couple of months and letting my things go on the way side just to see how many crocheted hats I can get finished for or donation pot luck.... I am at very close oe over 60 hats for child, and Adult.... We give to 3 different charity's.
