[Nfb-krafters-korner] question for crocheters

[Becky Frankeberger]

Lillie, you are just doing what was known in my day as a ripple crochet,
very cute affect. But for plane straight crochet you would pick up the top
two loops. This gives you a more mat affect. Also kind of watch your yarn.
If the yarn is super stretchy that one loop you pick up will stretch like
mad. I did a shell in the ripple with Vanna's yarn from Lion Brand. I had
huge stretched out holes, not good in my case. I was making a child's
poncho. I had two inch holes.

Becky and the short furry one, "dat's me goilys," grin. Love Jake

I had a similar question. For crocheting in loops, i only crochet in the
front loop. However, in stitch tutorials such as for single crochet, it says
to do through both loops. Is the way I am doing this wrong?
