That seems to be a common problem anymore, and we are losing more and more
crafting participants because of it. :(
So have you been doing any wood working at all???  Even something "little"?
Nothing like getting it from front row center. <G>< hehehehehe
haven't crocheted a stitch in a week.  I got really frustrated.  Everytime I
would do about three rows it wouldn't "look" right, so I would "frog" it and
start those rows over.
Well I do have a fighting chance with the yarn!  Atleast after I frog two or
three rows when I see a mistake, I can "re-do" the stitches.  I don't imagine
you can do that with wood!  Kind of hard to turn sawdust into wood again.
Ah, come on, you loved it! <G>< hehehehe
oh ... [blush]
I got a great email I'm going to send out to you. <G><
Take care!
