I just love MaryJane's new Stitching Room book! I read every page of it yesterday and really enjoyed it. I decided to try her directions for crocheting last night. I've never been able to get past the foundation chain on crocheting and that was even with a Crocheting for Dummies book or something like that! Well, I tried MaryJane's directions last night and even though I still couldn't get the part where you turn it after the foundation chain and start a row I was inspired and determined enough to find a way to learn so I tried a crochet tutorial online that I've tried before but this time I think I got it! After it looked like it might have finally clicked for me I started a simple dishcloth and after the first 3 rows I still have 35 stitches! This might all seem silly to some of you but I've tried to learn this for years. Thank you Mary Jane! Now I can attempt some of the projects in your book. I also want to try tatting, never would have thought I'd try that but your directions make it look easy enough for someone like me to learn.

Mine came today! And, best yet, it was waiting on my front porch when I came home from the thrift store with a bag full of 1/2-off cotton workshirts to be repurposed for sewing projects!
Oh happy day!! |

I'm so glad to hear the review of the crochet instructions.! I can knit, but I don't know how to crochet, and I want to learn - I'm excited to try. I have these visions of lovely crocheted edges on pillowcases, skirts... oh, the list is endless!!!
XOXO, Libbie

I really thought I'd never learn how to crochet. After I finally figured it out the other day after I got my MaryJanes Stitchery Room book I finished one dishcloth and started another one. I like them alot more than dishcloths I've knitted. Like you Libbie I can't wait to start making lots of other crocheted items.

WOW! That's what I'm saying to describe this book. I got it yesterday but had so much going on that I didn't get to look at it until late last night and finished looking early this morning. This is a wonderful book. I think I may order a couple more for my daughters. And I received the latest magazine too.
Haven't had much chance to look at that but if it's anything like the book I'm sure I'll be back ordering the rest.

Denise,
I love the book too. Did you get a new magazine or the stitching one that they show on the site?

Hello Everyone! I received my book on Monday, along with my box of Farmgirl notecards. The box was sitting by the back gate, thankfully, because if they'd put it inside the gate, my little pot-bellied pig, Willie, would probably have opened it himself!! 
To everyone at MJF, you have done ANOTHER OUTSTANDING job of producing an absolutely beautiful book! Everything about it is perfect -- the photography, the instructions, the stories....everything! And those notecards are really great as well! My farmgirl hat's off to you all!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Hugs,
Norma |
