lionbrand yarn has pattern for 5-1/2 hour throw
Comments (10)I use this pattern...It is the 5/12 for beginners.. Free Crochet Pattern 5½ hour Throw Lion Brand® Jiffy® Pattern #: 519 SKILL LEVEL: Advanced Beginners.. 5½ hour Throw Lion Brand® Jiffy® GAUGE: In pattern, 3 V-s sts = 6", 4 rows = 6". BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. NOTES: Throw is worked with three strands of yarn held together throughout. THROW: Starting at bottom edge of the throw, with three strands of yarn held together, loosely ch 67. Row 1: Dc in 5th ch from hook, ch 1, dc in same st, * skip 2 ch, (dc, ch 1, dc) in next ch; repeat from * to last 2 ch, sk 1 ch, dc in last ch. Ch 3, turn. Row 2: *(Dc, ch 1, dc) in next ch-1 sp-one V-stitch made; repeat from * across, ending with dc in top of turning-ch. Ch 3, turn. Repeat Row 2 until 40 rows have been completed. Fasten off. EDGING: With the right side facing you, work 1 row of sc along each side edge of the throw. FRINGE: Wind a single strand of yarn around an 11" piece of cardboard. Cut at one end, making 22"-long strands. Attach 9 strands per fringe. Fold strands of yarn in half to form a loop; insert the crochet hook through back of work in first stitch along bottom edge of throw; pull loop through. Bring the ends through loop and tighten. Continue to attach fringe in every other space along the bottom edge. Repeat for the top edge. Trim fringe evenly.

Comments (13)Rina is quite right. Joshua -- a light source such as a typical grow light or window is generally pretty useless for most high light plants at a distance of 2.5'. (If it is a completely unobstructed S, SW, or W exposure window and you are in the south -- like Texas, Arizona, SOCal, et cetera where the summer sun is far more intense -- it could be a very different story.) Light intensity drops radically as distance from the source increases. (This is known as the "Inverse Square Law of Light".) At a distance of 2.5' from the growlight, your plants will not be deriving any real benefits from the light. I have a lighted plantstand I use for some of my plant menagerie (I grow orchids, carnivorous plants, succs/cacti, and a host of other types). I use standard daylight spectrum fluorescent tubes. (Growlights are a lot more expensive and not significantly better until you get into the hugely expensive ones used in the saltwater aquarium trade for keeping corals happy.) Even my low light plants are usually within 8" of the lights if not less. One of the hardest realities for new growers to accept is that they cannot just "eyeball" it when it comes to light. I have encountered many people who are new to growing plants indoors who -- inquiring as to the poor state of their etiolated plants -- will insist that they KNOW their plants are receiving enough light. When asked how they "know," the response is usually something along the lines of "I can just tell!" When pressed for more clarity it almost invariably comes down to "Because I'm looking at that area and I can see it is bright." Unfortunately, what they don't realize (and, in some cases, are stubbornly reluctant to accept), is the fact that our eyes are very sensitive to light. The amount of light necessary for our eyes to register as "bright" is far less than the intensity needed for many plants -- particularly high light plants -- to perform the necessary amount of photosynthesis. To determine the actual light levels, one needs a light meter. But lacking that, here's a method for obtaining a rough estimate of what kind of light (high light, medium light, or low light) one is providing: Place your hand about 12" above the plant so your hand is between it and the light source. (Placing a clean white sheet of paper on the plant or at that spot the plant occupies will make this much easier the see.) *If your hand casts a sharp-edged dark shadow, then you have high/bright light hitting that spot. *If your hand casts a soft/blurry-edged lighter shadow, then you have medium light. *If your hand casts no discernible or very faint shadow, then you have low/weak light. Because this last one covers such a broad category, the risk of low being too low even for a "low light plant" is very real. NOTE: 1) Just because one area of the plant is getting high light, that doesn't mean the entire plant is too. If you have a big plant, it is possible that while the section closest to the light source is getting bright light, a section further away (even just a foot or so) might not be. 2) Multiple light sources active all at once from different sides/angles could make it more difficult to see a shadow. 3) When a window is the light source, the time of year can radically alter the light intensity. (For example, during the winter, I can keep a low light plant right by my totally unobstructed SE exposure sliding glass doors. Because the sun is weak and rarely unshrouded by cloud cover, said plants will be fine. But, if I leave those same plants in the same spot during the summer, they will fry as the light quality is then strong/bright light.)...See MoreTWO hours of Survivor tonight!
Comments (27)It was very disgusting. How dare they play that card then back off and say oh we were just kidding! They weren't kidding when they were telling kellee about what had happened to them! Right now I would like for Missy and the Olympic woman Elizabeth to get kicked out. And Dan needs to admit what he did, it's on film! And face the consequences. I hate what Janet and kellee have gone through. I loved that Jeff would not back down as Dan kept urging to drop it and Jeff said never going to happen!...See MoreSurvivor tonight 2/5
Comments (4)Oh wow - that's actually a great idea! Some names I've never forgotten but there are more that I have. I'll have to make sure the dvr is set to record. It automatically does the regular Survivor series so hopefully this is set too. But thanks for the heads up!...See More
