[Nfb-krafters-korner] crochet

[Annette Carr]

I have a very big chunky crochet hook that I think is called a "Speed stick"
crochet hook.  I've had it for almost 10 years.  I got it at A.C.Moore.

 What is the largest a crochet hook comes in?
Henry has a really large one, someone gave him and I like it.  I bought a
size p and q from Horizons for the Blind.  The q was lik the one I had
before and the p was so much smaller in the handle!
His is maybe an inch and a half around at the handle or more.

If I am understanding what you are asking, you want the chain side to look
like, say the single crochet row you ended on. If this is so, single crochet
along the chain side. Make your tails long enough to tuck under as you
crochet along that chain stitch. Then take the end with a small  crochet
hook and feed it stitch by stich inbetween the loops of the stiches you just
finished. Evrything gets tucked under. Then once you have eight or so
stitches of your tail tucked under, gently pull the rest of the tail maybe a
half inch and cut the tail off. Then stretch out where you tugged the yarn
and the end should slip in the stitches. I use crochet hooks for lace to
tuck the yarn under the stitches.  It looks very neat and smooth. 

Or just add fringe and tuck your end yarn under the fringe. 

warmly,

Beckie or others;

I need to know how to end a croched scarf.  I would like it to look like the
beginning, if possible.

Thanks for any help.

Terry Powers
