Others have many `flaws'--according-- to those of us who have gathered & work in charity circles & *learned* what is `needed' to be `universally' used for best long term use so the object can be *loved* & not fall apart. Tails *must be woven in a certian way & left a certian length-2inches in NOT going to do it! for a well loved & used item. You know what I mean-in charity circles as an assembler I feel `lucky' :0( haha to have been able so see & use soo many squares from so many beloved souls wanting to give to others. To see the attempts & for me to be able to learn~we could write books :0) <br />But I have learned that different parts of the world have avail different yarns than we do & colors.. also they have different wash machines & water so they that makes their yarn choises different. We think nothing of wash machines & yarns but in Europe it is not the same as yarn avail is much different.Gkathgoldin@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10918698420417846557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695937586613580329.post-3751516013591139192012-01-03T12:16:22.770-06:002012-01-03T12:16:22.770-06:00Sandy, I always think surely they (whoever "t...Sandy, I always think surely they (whoever "they" is) knows better than me! LOL what anyone else but me does is better. LOL I've done those tails every which way you can imagine. Yes, long, long tails. On a scarf I might weave all the way along the row, down as you note, and back the other direction. I think for purposes of demonstration she might not have gone as far as she would have making a real project. That said, Lily Chin in her book says she only weaves a small amount - can't remember exactly how much it was. Maybe 2"?? I'll have to check it.Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08439303528712333600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695937586613580329.post-37390021919311708342012-01-03T11:07:30.282-06:002012-01-03T11:07:30.282-06:00Understand what you mean about getting the house b...Understand what you mean about getting the house back in order. Thought I was done yesterday and realized last night right before I still had snowflakes on my dining room windows. Argh. Walked by it all day long. Hubby took the tree outside after we were done un-decorating and found an ornament still on it. lol<br /><br />Tails, you and I would be rich for all the conversations we've had about them over the years. I watched her video; but...must say I didn't think it was a good one and hope not too many people follow her instructions. Everything I've seen or read over the years has pressed the point that you do not leave all your ends in a granny etc when changing color. You work them in as you crochet, vs a straight line and they hold better. I'vs also seen lots of folks indicate going back on the same row isn't a good hold. I always tell people to go through several stitches on the current row, go down a row, then go back the other direction. I also weave in alot more then she showed. I leave bigger tails. <br /><br />Belated Happy New YearSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695937586613580329.post-28997411465505082112012-01-01T15:05:04.257-06:002012-01-01T15:05:04.257-06:00Glad you found the tutorials useful, Sarah.

I'd just...Hi Sandie, Happy New Year to you too! I'd just like to say a huge thank you for the tutorials on your Crochet Cabanna website. I've never crocheted before and within about 3 days I've learnt the basic stiches and I've already completed 4 Granny Squares - hopefully to make into a blanket... Your instructions are so clear and easy to follow!
