SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY??

My friend Kathy G. has been inspired, as she nears her 49th birthday, to try something new EVERY DAY for a year – something she’s never done before. I offered to teach her to crochet since I think that would qualify. Check out her blog and the link to the blog of the 29 year old who inspired her.

So, from this we can take some inspiration. Are there 365 stitches that are new to us? Can we learn one each day? I’m going to check into this. I know there are more than 365 stitches, but many stitches have more than one name.

Let’s start a list here of all the crochet stitches we can come up with. Please post the names of stitches you know and a link to an online site or a book where we can perhaps get instructions for duplicating the stitch. We can stipulate that this list is a good place to start:

And, this site has some good illustrations of stitches:

Loop Stitch

I don’t know how many stitches are demonstrated at this site, but what a find!

So, above and beyond these stitches, what can YOU add to our list? I’ll keep this discussion open as long as new stitches keep coming in. THEN maybe we’ll all take a challenge and learn a new one each day. But, we’ve gotta get more than 365 stitches to get this thing going.

Thanks in advance for your participation.
