It's vacation time for my children, so I too, have decided to join them in some major goofing off. This does not mean there will be no new entries here at CrochetingWithDee -- nope! Not in the least bit! I am asking YOU to blog for me!
This week, I'm asking you to write an entry about your most favorite crochet stitch! For ideas in your writing, consider answering the following questions:
Write your entry of at least 250 words (it can be longer), positive in theme, and email it to me midnight (eastern time) by Saturday, April 21st, 2007. If you have links to projects that feature that stitch, send me those too and I'll include them when I post your entry here. If you have a blog, or website, include those links too. If you don't have a blog or website, then think of this an an opportunity to try blogging out! You never know, your entry may inspire someone to try YOUR favorite crochet stitch!
In return for blogging for me this week, your name will be placed into a crocheted bowl where a random winner will be drawn. Want to know what you're blogging for? A chance to win the very hat I designed & crocheted for the "Fruit Fantasy Hat" that appears in the "Big Hook Crochet" book!

First of all I surely hope that I'm doing this right! I've never blogged! So if it's wrong, I'm so sorry! My favorite stitch is simple, but I really like it - it's the shell stitch. I learned it from a pattern, I mostly have taught myself to crochet (perhaps this is why I'm not so good at some things!), so I think that this was the first stitch that I learned except for sc and dc and chain of course! My grandmother tried to teach me to crochet when I was small, she made doilies using thread. I just couldn't get the hang of thread (and still can't), but when I tried yarn, I found I could do it and LOVED to crochet. I really just like the way that the shell stitch looks, it's really pretty simple, but can look elegant. I also like crocheting when I don't have to do alot of counting, etc. And the shell I can just do and not have to think too much about! I love using it in baby afghans, they are quick and easy, and every time I find out someone is pregnant I usually start up a shell stitch baby afghan for them. As for how I've shared this stitch, I'm sad to say that I haven't shared it with anyone - not to teach them. So, today my daughter and I are going to sit down and I'm going to teach it to her. She can chain and sc and dc and now it's time for her to learn a new one! So I'm glad that I saw this blog, it's going to give my daughter a new stitch. Gee, thanks for the chance to run my mouth a little bit, this was really fun! Thanks, Karen
