The other day I was called
upon to explain some crochet
instructions. The lady felt
that they were wrong as she
couldn't make her work
come out like the photo-
graph.
The actual instructions
were right, but being from
England, they were indiffer-
ent terminology. If you have
ever worked from British
directions you will realize
they 'do not have a single cro-
chet. What we call single
crochet, they call double cro-
chet, and what we call dou-
ble crochet, they call a tre-
ble. A treble to us is a double
treble to them.
This is not a very well-
known fact and it can cause
quite a bit of confusion and
frayed nerves as there is
nothing more frustrating
than having a pattern which
will just not work out.
It's interesting to note
here, that what the English
call moss stitch is seed stitch
here, and in some parts of
the world as maize or rice
stitch. What we know as pop-
corn stitch, they call bram-
ble stitch and in some parts
of England is known as trin-
ity stitch, since you work
three stitches in one.
Just about all Canadians
know that casting off in the
States is referred to as bind-
ing off, and tension is very
often referred to as gauge.
Usually one doesn't have too
much trouble with instruc-
tions from the States, though
most knitters and crocheters
complain they are too vague.
I guess printers try to get as
many designs as they can
into the books.
Quite often I am sent a
scrap of wool asking my ad-
vice as to whether this can be
changed for such and such
wool, and I am afraid it is
impossible for me to give
this advice.
First you would have to
check the tension to see if a
change of needle is neces-
sary in order to have the cor-
rect tension. Hand -knitting is
a mathematical calculation
based on so many stitches to
the cm or inch and the rows
in depth. If you do not obtain
the exact tension, your gar-
ment when finished will not
be true to size.

This week's pattern is a
charming doiley or centre
piece worked in three colors,
though if you wish it can be
just one color. It's a distinc-
tive design, one you will en-
joy working in crochet and
having in your home.

Crossroads—April 20, 1983—Page 11
At wit's en
by Erma Rombeck
Did you ever Stop and
think how much the main-
tenance cost is on our quality
of life?
I'm talking about the ex-
pense of keeping appliances
running, wheels on the car
moving and repairs on life's
little necessities.
Early in life, you learn
about priorities. There are
some things you have to fix.
There's no choice. If you
don't you can't get to work or
the meat goes bad. There are
other things you will never
fix but will live with.
I know in my heart when
the frame on my glasses
break, I will spend the rest of
my life seeing a paper clip in
my peripheral vision. If a
light burns out on the sewing
machine, I will either burn a
candle or curse the dark-
ness. It never occurs to me to
replace the bulb.
A car door on the pas-
senger side is never a
priority. Just as long as
there is one that works, who
needs it? There isn't a
chance of it being repaired
until you are ready to sell the
car.
In all the years we have
been married, we have never
replaced a garden hose. One
more leak this summer and
the entire hose will be one
continuous roll of bedsheets!
People are really, tight
with a buck when it comes to
shoestrings. To me, they
measure the life of a shoe.
When there is a knot between
each eyelet and the one -inch
i•I

string at the top breaks, it is
time to replace the shoes.
But never buy shoestrings.
Another phenomenon that
people seem to marry for life
is their luggage. Ever stand
and watch a carousel of lug-
gageat the airport? Men
standing around in Gucci
loafers and solid gold chains
around their necks will claim
suitcases with a woman's
cinch belt around them.
And how many women do
you know who would throw
away a compact just be-
cause it had a broken mirror
in it that made your face look
like a crossword puzzle? No
one I know.
Whenever anything breaks
down, you have to ask your-
self some basic questions. If
I throw it away, will there be
a white mark on the walls? If
I fix it, is there a possibility it
will break down again? If I
have a great personality,
will anyone notice it's
broken?
With our television, it's a
series of compromises.
When the picture kept spin-
ning around, we hit the tuner
with the bottom of our shoe
and it stopped. When the
faces on the picture turned
green, someone would volun-
teer to stand at the set and
hold the aerial between his
forefingers. Last night, Tom
Selleck's mouth was on one
side of the screen and his
mustache on the other`
We have to get the set
fixed.
Your
Handwriting
Tells
It pays
to advertise
By DOROTHY
ST. JOHN JACKSON
Certified Master
Graphoanalyst
Dear Dorothy: I want to
get married but when I
'meet a man I like, I don't
know if it's infatuation or
love. I spend a lot of time
alone and just keep hoping
that someday the right one
will come along. What do
you see hi my writing? —
L.L.
Dear L.L.: Sometimes it
pays to advertise.
It's ironical how some of
us never even think of dis-
playing the best side of our
personalities, yet spend
plenty of time wondering
why there's no demand.
Backhand writing says
that you react very slowly
to people. You feel deeply
but it's hard for you to
move out of yourself. It's
almost impossible for you
to nurture close relation-
ships, and the lack of lower
loops is no help at all. If
you want to win a man, you
have to be available. You
have to make human con-
tacts and meet eligible
candidates.
More than the average
person, you need to be un-
derstood and you need an
understanding man. The
n you marry should
e 'oy sharing your cultural,
stes and interests (fine
arts, such as music, writ-
ing, etc.), seen in Greek e's,
rhythm of writing, breaks
in words, and other stroke
combinations. And just re-
member that marriage
won't change these inter-
ests or your desire for the
refinements in life.
The man you marry
should also understand
your quiet reserve and
your need for time alone to
think and create in your
own way.
As you see, there are
many unseen forces in-
volied. So don't let false in-
fatuations fog your vision.
