A few week-ends ago I had the pleasure of visiting Rowan's Mill at Holmfirth for a workshop - Crochet for Beginners with Eleanor Yates.
There were 23 of us on the workshop including Rowanettes Nancy Billings Martin, Liz Jenks and Sheelagh Kendra.
We had to take with us scissors and a sewing up needle. I guess they thought we might actually finish something. Throughout the workshop we used Rowan Handknit DK Cotton and Cotton Glace which were provided free of charge by Rowan along with crochet hooks.
I also took with me 4 balls of Rowan Handknit DK in Lupin together with Erica Knight's book Simple crochet. I was hopeful that I may at least make a start on the turkish slippers that I have wanted to do since I got the book last May.
As it happens I never made a start! I spent the week-end perfecting my granny squares. Here are a selection.

I intend to make more as and when. The cotton glace was lovely to crochet with
I treated myself to a selection of crochet needles before I went on the workshop - a mixture of woods - bamboo, rosewood, birch and ebony in different sizes.

So don't you think a pair of crochet slippers in lupin would look lovely for spring?
Happy Knitting.
The main part of a sewing machine is the needle, just as it is for hand sewing. Unlike hand sewing needles, however, sewing machines needle has its eye, which is a hole for the thread, at the end near the point. The needle moves up and down to push a loop of thread down through layers of fabric where it attaches to another thread from the bobbin, which is located in the bottom of the machine.

If I might --perhaps you should consider adding a few images. I dont mean to disrespect what youve said; its very enlightening, indeed. However, I think would respond to it more positively if they could be something tangible to your ideas. Keep it up, but put a little more into it next time
Heard about this site from my friend. He pointed me here and told me I’d find what I need. He was right! I got all the questions I had, answered. Didn’t even take long to find it. Love the fact that you made it so easy for people like me. More power

Seriously now though, I have been deleting those types of comments from day one on my blogs. I can’t stand them, to me it just adds useless junk and filler to my page for no real reason. Nobody gains anything from reading a sentence like that so there is no point of it being there. It does not add any value or any other view points to the discussion.
I have been on the look out for such content.
You probably haven’t meant to do so, however I believe you have managed to express the mind-set that lots of people are in. The sense of wanting to assist, however not figuring out how or the place, is one thing a number of us are going through.
