[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Crochet email classes

[Becky Frankeberger]

Ok, MisSarah, Miss Nima ,  the last thing I made was a little bag I have in my pocket. I tend to carry my keys in my pocket of my jeans. This little bag, in my case has my two house keys, mailbox key, and stair lift  key in the bag. You put in yours what makes sense to you: your breath drops, candy, lip stick, fob,  whatever you carry lose in your pocket that needs transferred easily to the next days clothing. Everything is contained in this little 2 inch wide bag you can put in your pocket or purse to contain small items. Put the bag on your wrist when you are ready to go in your home or condo.

Directions:
Chain 9, Skip first chain then  single crochet around the chain putting three Sc in both corners. Single crochet on that chain one from the previous row and keep going around till the bag is more then the depth of your keys, in my case, lip stick or lip bomb in yours. Fasten off and tuck the tail. Make a chain long enough to squeeze the bag shut and hang around your wrist, if you wish. Make sure to turn the piece right side out. Weave in one side of your chain. Skip every Sc then pull the probably six inch chain through. Hold the both ends of the chain, then with the other hand pull the bag closed. Crochet longer if you need to so it fits fairly tight around your wrist then loosely knot the ends together. This way if you need to add more chains or take chains away you can easily untie the knot and make your adjustments. Cut working yarn and knot. 

I used cotton yarn for the summer, G hook, and something to tuck that tail on the bag in, smile.      

Warm gentle hugs,

Thank you so much Becky for your descriptions of the basic crochet stitches! I think I would also like a class, but I likely won't have time to attend a class until after Memorial Day weekend. 

Happy crafting!
Sarah

Becky has done an excellent job describing a couple basic crochet stitches.  Are people satisfied, and looking for patterns, or would people like a class as well?

Thanks Becky for your instructions, I would like to learn more about the slip stitch, half double, treble, half treble and double stitches. I heard about these but I haven’t tried to make them successfully.

Annie p and others please share patterns for practicing.

Thank you

Naima
