Hi Barbara! Our pets are our family and we need to treat them that way! Like you, I cannot tolerate animal cruelty, and sadly there is much too much of it. 😞 We can do our wee bit, by treating them the way they deserve.

And regarding the linen napkins, you and I are of the same mind as well. In fact, I mostly use fabric napkins. I like treating everyday like it is something a little special!

Thanks so much for your kind words, I always enjoy hearing from you.

Hi Lynn, I so enjoy your comments reference animal family. I love it when I hear that we humans do treat pets as family as there is so much cruelty in this world today. As to the linen napkins, I can’t wait to get started on them; but first a visit to get the linen material. I have a group that plays cards and bunko frequently and occasionally I do put out real napkins. They seem shocked and hesitant to even use them. I will definitely make a stash and give out as gifts during the year. You are truly a blessing.

Hi Lynn,
I look forward to your blog each week.
You amaze me with all your talents and projects.
Would you think about making linen bread storage bags. They keep bread fresh longer and are better than using plastic bags.
Thanks again for all your creativity.

In reply to Holly Gillum.

Hi Holly, I apologize! I thought I had answered your question already.

I tried to send photo from another project that I hope will help you see where to put your crochet hook under the backstitch, but the email keeps getting returned. Email me at lynn@nourishandnestle and I’ll reply with the photo. If that doesn’t help, let me know and I’ll see if I can help more. That was one of my very early projects and I am afraid I didn’t take as many photos as I should have.

But in a nutshell, you slip the crochet hook under the long back stitch across the top of your work.

Let me know if this works,

Hugs,

Lynn

I am a beginning knitter and a “want-to-be” crocheter, but I’m left handed and scared to jump in. (I knit right handed and will crochet…very slowly…the same!) I thought these might be an easy start as I have some idea of how a single stitch works. However, I can’t figure out how to get the crochet on the back-stitch loop. Can you refer me to a video to show me how this is done? I may just have to play with a sample, but I’d rather learn the “right way” than do something veterans realize isn’t correct.

Once again you amaze me, is there anything you cannot do? I think I want to be you when I grow up! I adore these napkins and would love to learn how to make them! They are on my “someday” list!

These are SO pretty – I just love beautiful cloth napkins. Even though I could never make these I really enjoy reading your tutorial on how to make these. Found you at Share it, thanks for posting this!
