Learn new things

                  I love talking to people who have been crocheting longer than I have. They fix things, answer questions and give me new ideas. I went to the ladies bible study at my church last night and sought out Mrs Cheryl, she is an older lady who creates beautiful things through crochet, I went with the intention of learning the easy way to put a border onto the Lil Sis's baby blanket and not only did she show me how but she fixed and tension issue I couldn't work around with my foundation chain in another piece. I've run into the issue before and have tried my best to do the beginning chains as loose as I could but it wasn't working and it was making the who project pull, she told me very matter of fact, "well that's your problem your using the same size hook to do the chain and the rest of the pattern" I did not know that most people use 1 hook size larger for their foundation chain to keep it from pulling, hmm you learn something new everyday. Needless to say I went home and undid everything, now it does look a whole lot better, I cant wait to see how it looks once I've finished!
