Half Double Crochet:  I found this link to share with you, if you are just getting started.  If you really like it, but don't like following a pattern (or keep losing your place due to stopping alot!), take a look at my other posts!  With a little imagination, you can make all sorts of things without a pattern; hence my blog creation!  Good luck!

Sneaking up on him! Ha.  This was at a restaurant we ate at a few weeks ago.  They had "life size" monsters standing all around.  Really gets you in the "spirit" of things, doesn't it?

SCARF #3-MULTI-COLORED WITH SCALLOPED EDGE
Dbl. Croc. with med. hook, as thick as desired.  I used a "multi-colored" skein of yarn here.  The last few rows are just a "loose" crochet, which gives it that fancy scalloped look. (switching to a different color makes it stand out)  Make one for yourself & for a gift.

From the lips of children and infants, you have ordained praise.  Psalm 8:2 (NIV)

If you are interested in donating items or filled shoeboxes for children, please note that Collection Week is: Nov. 12-19.  Check to see where the center is in your area (usually a church).  You can view info. on this webhttp://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/site

TOTE BAG-Med. size
Dbl. Croc. with a medium hook, until you have a long piece.   I folded it in half and sewed up both sides with a yarn needle, dbl. tacking at the top on each side.  I used a piece of leather I had in my craft box for a handle.   Insert the end of the leather strip  on the end of the bag, tie a knot to attach it.  I made this one different colors on each side to be different(just switched yarn, attached, & cont'd to croc.)  If you want to, you can sew on a button or hook for a closure.
