Question
Good Afternoon and Happy New Year Ms. Harrell,
I go insane when trying to count my stitches in a pattern to determine which row I am on or should be on. Help???
Hey, Bertina: The best way to solve the problem, is to mark the beginning stitch in every row, or every other row, with a little piece of yarn. It will help you keep track of the rows, as well as all those beginning stitches. Then all you have to do is count those little pieces of yarn! It works great!
Best Wishes, Bea

Expertise
I consider myself an expert in the field of hand crochet. I have been crocheting for 45 years. I can answer most question on the differnt stitches, as well as the methods used to create speciality items. The art of crochet, after 2 decades of being out of fashion, is enjoying a modest come back. I want to help those newcomers looking for a little/lot of help to get started. Once they are comfortable with the process, they can relax & begin to create the heirlooms of tomorrow.
