Joining your Yarn

I found 2 quick video's of how to join yarn with 2 different methods. The first is a Russian join, which I use quite a lot, the only trouble with that way of joining is that you do have a thicker yarn where it has been joined.
The second method can only be used with wool or other animal fibers.

World Record for Most People Crocheting

Over 400 Mets fans set Guinness World Record for most people crocheting in the same place

More than 400 Mets fans set the Guinness World Record for most people crocheting simultaneously at Citi Field Saturday.
Most crafters - 427 in all - worked on a project in Mets-appropriate orange or blue yarn, establishing the record for most people crocheting in the same place for 15 minutes.
Crochet diva Lily Chin showed up ready to set the record in a homemade Mets uniform that she had knit herself, complete with a crocheted cap and even a mitt made out of yarn.

Never too Young to Learn

My 10 year old grand daughter Lily and her friend Molly came to sleep over tonight. Molly was talking about her grade teaching French knitting and how confusing it was. I told her I could help her and bought out a loom. Blow me down they were both doing it in no time!
