[NFB-Krafters-Korner] crocheters a question

Sun Aug 9 23:41:58 UTC 2020

Joyce,
I believe the trick is in the technique.  First, plan on taking your time.
Second, when placing the hook through the loop, slide it up to the thickest
part of the shank, right before the indentation where your thumb rests.
Develop a habit of feeling how tightly or loosely the yarn feels over that
part of the hook.  Pay attention to how snug the loop feels, and aim for
that identical feel of snugness from one stitch to the next.  After awhile
it'll be preserved in the muscles of your fingers, and you won't have to
consciously think of it every time.  Try it.  Cathy Miller

Yep, I put that sweater pattern back into my file folder as Size N hook is
too large for my fat fingers and small hands.  Could you see me trying to do
this while holding the hook in my two hands???lol

I bet it is pretty but an N hook with DK yarn would pretty lacey.  If I come
across anything like this, I'll send it your way.
Take care!

The chain  is the foundation of a sweater approx.. 150 chains with a size N
crochet hook.  First I am thinking this is a rather large hook and it is a
ripple sweater, next they are suggesting you use a DK or Light Worsted Yarn.

I had made several crochet pullover sweaters going back many a year back
that was crocheted and I really liked them.  You started at the bottom front
and worked up and  worked the neckline, but you continued over the shoulders
and ended at the bottom back.  You picked stitches up and worked the sleeves
down on each side and you did a rib type crochet stitch at the cuffs and
bottom of the sweater.  It had a boat type neck.  Wish I could find the
pattern.  

They worked up fast with worstered weight and a K hook.

Joyce,
How long of a chain are you wanting?  If you keep your tension even, your
chain will turn out nice and even.   If I can help, just let me know.

Have anyone of you tried to make a real long chain and any suggestions on
doing this evenly???
