Question
I have a pattern that says to fasten off (4 ch sps made) I am not sure what this means could you help me out?

Answer
Hey, Lisa! fasten off, just means to tie off or weave the end of your yarn back through the stitches you just made, because you're finished with that part of the work. If you can tie a small knot at the end of your work so that it can't be seen, it will keep your work from unraveling.

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.

Experience

40 + years crocheting for myself, my family & occasionally doing commissioned work.

Education/Credentials
