How to do Front-Loop Single Crochet

The other day I learned how to do a front-loop single crochet. I am now going to tell you how I did it. To be able to do this stitch you need to be able to do a single crochet, a treble crochet, and obviously a chain. First off, you chain as many as you need and for the foundation row you do sc all the way across the row. 2nd, row you chain 1. Then, you skip a stitch and you single crochet across the whole row. At the and of the row ad one stitch that is a treble crochet. Then you do the same thing for the next row and you do that as many times as you need to, to get the project done. It is very fun once you get the stitches down. Have Fun!!!

Continued Crochet Conference

When we got up in the morning it was Sunday so I had to go to my Irish crocheted flowers with Vashti. First, I decided to make a rose flower with a thicker yarn to get used to the pattern before using the fine thread. So first, I made a rose with the thicker yarn and then I took a quick break to go see Katie while she was eating her breakfast. So we talked a little and then we had to go back to the class and I made my second rose with the thinner thread and I got a bunch of compliments about how amazing I am at crocheting. After we were done with our class, we went to find my mom and while they went shopping I stayed at the knitting and crocheting corner with my two friends, Casey and Katie, and we talked and played for a little bit, and then I went to ask if we could eat lunch and then go swimming in the indoor pool. They said yes so we went to lunch and I had a bowl of clam chowder and a grilled chicken rap which was amazingly good and then we went swimming, had dinner and then we had to go home. I can't wait until next year!!!:)

Crochet Conference

This weekend I went to New Hampshire for a crochet conference with my mom and my friend Vashti. It took exactly 3 hours and 13 mins. We took my dads car because it is more reliable than my moms old van. The drive felt like it took us forever. When we got to the Radisson Hotel Vashti was in a class so my mom and I looked around for some yarn until she got out of her class around 12:00. Then we had lunch together. I had a bowl of clam chowder and a giant chocolate cookie. Sounds mouth watering, doesn't it? After that, we met a girl named Katie that is ten just like me. She was knitting at the knitting corner. She is a very good knitter. I know how to knit, I just like crocheting better. I think it is more fun and faster. and if you make a mistake it is easier to undo it and do the stitch over. Katie is turning 11 in August. I am going to send her a birthday card and present soon. Her and I talked together for a while and it turned out that we both loved horses and we both took horseback riding lessons. I thought that was serendipities.
Then we went up into the hotel room and Vashti showed us some of the magnificent thing she crocheted. ( She is an extraordinary crochet designer.)Then Vashti had to go to a class that she didn't really want to go to, but she had to because she was already signed up. So she went to her class while we went to look at the free form crochet booth and then we got some yarn and went outside to crochet while we waited for Vashti to call us. When she called us we went up to the room we went to dinner and the fashion show. Vashti was in the fashion show and she did great!! She made these leg warmers connected to a belt thing and guess what, she got the biggest applause!! I think she was the greatest one out of all the participants. Then we went to get a drink and talked to the other people in the fashion show and also try on each other's clothes. Then we went to the hotel room and went to bed. To be continued. . . . . . . . .
