[jimeka]

It’s so beautiful, how do you make it look as though it’s just come off the press, you certainly are talented. How’s the throat? Blessings Jimeka 🤗

[mrsmike]

[Turtlepie in reply to twooldcrows]

Thank you I appreciate you encouragement

[agapepilgrim]

Beautiful. I actually made one similar about 50 years ago. I used to crochet a lot - something MS stole from me. Can’t believe I gave all my Afghans away and didn’t keep one for myself cause never thought I wouldn’t be able to crochet one day.

[Turtlepie in reply to agapepilgrim]

Thank you. Sorry that you can't do it anymore and that you didn't keep a treasure for yourself. I hope that I will be able to keep doing my craft a long time. I started teaching myself at 10 years old I am 62 now.

[agapepilgrim in reply to Turtlepie]

Wow. That was young. I started when I was pregnant with child at 25, loved it. I do have a table runner, two stoles, (not shawls, I made some very intricate shawls for friends and some cabled sweaters and baby blankets, and the Afghans), and

[Turtlepie in reply to agapepilgrim]

Most of my patterns are simple. I don't do clothes very well so I stay away from that. But I love making big blankets

[agapepilgrim in reply to Turtlepie]

I had several books of patterns and magazines. I remember one magazine of all granny square pattern stuff. Another of all household items. When I was a stay at home mom. Before MS got worse and arm muscle spasms and hand arthritis. But I have enjoyed a lot of things when I could. I liked the shell pattern, also. That is my table runner. Maybe I will dig out my stole with the “knit” stick and then a big flower cross stitched in the middle. It’s heavy and warm. And take a picture

[Turtlepie in reply to agapepilgrim]

I would love to see it. I have so many patterns in a folder and saved on my phone I don't think I could get to making all of them unless I lived to be well over a hundred or more

[agapepilgrim]

my brain could in no way follow a pattern now or even count my stitches of a beginning cable or whatever. I loved hairpin lace!

[Turtlepie in reply to agapepilgrim]

I would love to do a cable or hairpin lace. I try more difficult patterns just to try and keep my mind sharp. I find that if the pattern is one I like I don't have to worry about counting

[mm1527mm]

Love it!

[Turtlepie in reply to mm1527mm]

[rjoneslaw]

Well you already know what im going to say. So I won’t say it cuz I don’t want to sound like a broken record.

Ok i lied that is so nice. You have skill and very talented.

Yes I will be to your house with my my order list. I would like 2 in everything.

Yes my orders will make you rich and creative. You would be my secret shopping addiction .

I’ll say it in advance LOVING IT !!! To the point of no return and probably homeless because of my addiction

[Turtlepie in reply to rjoneslaw]

I am happy that you are so excited about my projects. And the door is open and I will be waiting with my crochet hooks ready to burn the midnight oil.

That’s beautiful! You are very talented and it’s wonderful that you share your gift with others.

[Turtlepie in reply to Kitsey]

Thank you. It's a pleasure to be able to do what I do and to give to these places I do makes it more fun

[joellen123]

[Turtlepie in reply to joellen123]

Thank you

[jackiesj]

I am all amazed at the talents that are in others...My goodness beautiful!I couldn't even count the stitches, left to right right to left...I see it on such a lovely princess in prayer...ty!

[Turtlepie in reply to jackiesj]

Thank you what a wonderful way to put it. Once I start a pattern I have to keep track of the stitches but once I get into it I don't count anymore. I love my craft and I a blessed beyond what ever I could have ever imagined and maybe that's why it comes so easy with some of the work I do

[mrsmike9]

Ooo! I Really like the pattern of this one!! Beautiful!

[Turtlepie in reply to mrsmike9]

Thank you I modified it to be smaller for a prayer shawl it should be more than double that width

[hairbrain4]

That's beautiful! You do really nice work.
