^^ was able to check the yarn varieties in Dreams Yarnshoppe and pricey nga.  pero ang ganda ng variants nila, may mga malalambot.  very good for clothing crochet patterns.   

i also love crocheting, my favorite past time.   i buy cones of crochet threads sa SM megamall.   my current project is round tablecloth crochet and only got time to do it during weekends.  i got my patterns online lang.   sana matapos ko na so i can try bags naman...  ;D
There's no better way to learn but practice and enjoy the moment.    :)

@mc_javier ehto mga alam kong one stop shop

1. VC Trading - Farmers, Cubao
2. Mannings - Farmers, Cubao
3. Dreams YarnShoppe - Glorietta 5
4. Craft World - Megamall
5. Tabora St. in Divisoria

sis, magkaiba ba ang Mannings sa VC Trading? I'm frequent kasi sa VC akala ko eto na yung dating Mannings.. marami rin kasing selections dito and I find more items that cheaper here than carolinas, mejo matagal lang service dito super manual pero carry lang naman...

Ang dame o ng nagawang projects for crochet gusto ko namang gawin yung poncho nahihirapan lang ako mag follow sa pattern saka mag lock.  pano nyo nila-lock yung gawa nyo mga sis after?

Good morning!  :) I'm planning to learn how to make crochet booties for my baby habang naka materniy leave ako next month.  I really have no idea how to make one. Punta ako sa Farmers to check out some stores there.

Any advice para sa newbies na katulad ko?
Even though I walk
   through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
   for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
   they comfort me.

^Dreams carries a selection, meron din silang snap-closure frames.
I also saw some in Tabora. Di ko lang natandaan yung presyo sorry.

practice ka on doing equal sized chains and the count. if you're not familiar with the different chains, practice ka lang on them. once your know the basics and you have a count idea from patterns your can later go stitch on your own.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The Lovers, the Dreamers, and Me.

I am a catch, and I am not going to be the one to get away.

You should never settle for who you are.

Younis try pinterest or google, dun lang ako pumupulot ng pattern. :)

Hija i think tama lang ang price, mas comfortable din ako sa mercerized cotton thread, yep 175m or 50 grams ang usual size ng cannon at monaco na thread. I'm switching to larger cotton threads, try checking multiply for sellers. :)

free ebook dl's (tulad nung binebenta sa National Book store na Php85/65)
sa http://giftjap.info/freebook/eng/crochet.php --- eheh
Minsan lang di nagana yung ibang link.

And if you join ravelry dot com, they also have a pretty good selection of patterns there. Some are for sale, so you have to search for free patterns.

Questions sissies

- makakamagkano kaya ako if gagawa ako scarf ?

Mga ilang balls of yarn yun? Yung malambot saka makapal
Saka malaking hook?
Anong klaseng thread/yarn need ko anong tawag?
Saan ako makakabili na one stop shop?

I know how to crotchet pero hindi pa alo nagtry ng clothing. No idea what to use para hindi matigas and hindi makati
hindi naman ako masamang tao
sadyang kapag nasasabi ako ng totoo
tumatama at tumatagos sa pagkatao mo
