Adjustable Loop Tutorial - from the Purlbee site



The Adjustable Loop is a wonderfully easy way to start a crocheted square or circle like our Granny Circle Placemats pictured above. It's much neater than the traditional slip knot and chain and will start your crochet project off right!

To begin, loop the end of the yarn (the "tail") behind the yarn coming from the skein (the "main yarn") to form a circle like this:


Hold the loop where the yarns cross, like this:
Bring the hook through the front of the loop to grab the main yarn:
Pull the stitch through to the front of the loop:
Now chain the number of stitches you need to start your pattern (in this case 3 chain stitches will form the first double crochet):
Continue to work into the loop until, according to your pattern, you have finished the round:
At some point, you can pull the tail nice and tight, and the center ring will close together beautifully!

Tết 2012 - Nhâm Thìn - Year of Dragon

Lớn thì Tết cũng mất dần đi cái ý nghĩa của nó. Mình đã không còn hào hứng mong tết về, mà lại có cảm giác nặng nề thêm một xí, ...
Thì là lớn rồi mà, tết thì chỉ dành cho trẻ nhỏ thôi.
Nhìn mấy đứa cháu, mấy đứa em vẫn vô tư mà mình muốn được nhỏ lại ghia vậy đó.........
Dù sao thì thời gian vẫn trôi, và phải chấp nhận thôi,...
Năm nay sẽ phải ổn định mọi thứ, !!!!!!!!!!
Nhất định!
