Sometimes we have to go back to the basics. Do you know someone who would like to learn to crochet? The single crochet is one of the most basic stitches they will need to learn.
Recently, my daughter-in-law suggested that I create some videos which show basic crochet stitches. Here is the very first one. Since I used to teach art, the teacher in me just had to write on the whiteboard background so you could see the abbreviation used for the single crochet stitch.
I hope you enjoy the video, and I hope it helps you or a friend learn to crochet!
Single Crochet Stitch
Fall in Oklahoma
This is my favorite time of the year. I remember my first fall at Oklahoma State University. The school had these lovely trees planted down the middle of the main walkway through campus. It led past the Life Sciences building, down to the Student Union. That semester I took that pathway every day. The trees started turning when the weather became cool enough for a jacket in the morning. The leaves glowed with brilliant reds, yellows, and oranges. They were simply breathtaking!  The sun lit up the trees each morning, making them appear so alive. It moved me to tears (odd for a college kid, I know) the first time I saw them. Now every year at this time I remember how beautiful the trees were. There is a small area on 71st Street, here in Tulsa, that reminds me of campus. Unfortunately, I am usually driving and cannot take the time to slow down and enjoy the colors. Back in college, I was on crutches and moving really slow, so I had plenty of time to enjoy the fall colors.
Don’t Forget!
Remember to always shop your stash first! And take the time to enjoy the beautiful fall weather! I’d love to hear about the trees and beautiful colors in your area — share about them in the comments!
Talk to you later,
