Hi Becky and all,

I've always used the chain stitch, but starting with the crochet sounds 
interesting and double crochet is what I would do. Carol and Becky, would 
you share with me this technique? Please?

Thanks

Linda

Carol, I still love and use the technique you showed us how to start with 
crochet instead of a chain stitch. I mostly always use your technique to 
start anything I make. I am making an afghan for my nephew who is getting 
married. I started it using a double crochet, smile. It is easy to measure 
how wide you want your piece to be, smile.

Thank you again!
Becky

Hi Linda and welcome, my name is Carol and I live in Pinellas Park. We are 
almost neighbors LOL. I have been on this list since almost the beginning 
but since I moved to Florida I haven’t been doing too much crafting.

Hope you enjoy the list

Carol
