Home Economics 101

Welcome to the Home Ec Section. Matters of the family sometimes bring joy and other times bring grief. But it is never trivial: Family matters! Feel free to discuss topics such as the sanctity of marriage; the awesome responsibility of raising children; the struggles of communication problems; the grief of losing a loved one; or anything else that relates to the home and family. However, due to the more personal nature of this section, I ask that you would be especially thoughtful of the readers' feelings. My earnest hope and prayer is that the discussions in this section will help families grow in the love of Christ.

But remember, always play by the rules: here

Quanta and I are members and we can friend you! (But it's not like FB).

    You know I expect pictures, right?

    I actually did know how to eliminate the extra stitch - all those ruffle scarves are good for practice. But the thing is just flat so I'd have to unravel back to make it even - and since it's just a practice piece, there's little point to that. Besides, if I were trying to make it into something, it's the shorter section that I'd eliminate since it has the most mistakes.

    Just what I need - another cool thingie to play with online... I'll check it out and pm you.

    You'll have to wait until Mr. Budget says it's okay to buy enough minutes, but you'll get your pics.

                    The method of stitch locking. Technically, crochet is just a lot of chain stitching, just like in sewing or embroidery.

                        Oh please - I made Po one straight jacket about four years ago when Squeakers was having his break down. He's been fine since then and Po shipped the jacket back to me.

                              Yeah, well I don't believe you since you said that you were just NOW learning how to knit.
