Question
Hi Bea
I am wanting to do a harley davidson afghan using a sc. It has a few colors that i have to change alot. Can you tell me how to carry the yarn so i dont have to cut and weave in so many ends. Thank you very much.
Linda
Hey, Linda! There are many people who use thread bobbins when there are a lot of color changes. They hang at the back of your work,and are pulled up when needed. I personally don't like them, and they seem unnecessarily complicated to work with! You must first of all learn how to use them, and there is at least one site that has fairly clear instructions. As far as I know, there is no other way of accomplishing a color change, than the old cut & weave! You might try asking some of the other crochet volunteers, because I'm sure I don't know everything!!
Sorry I can't be more help.
Sincerely, 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.
Experience
