Japanese Motifs With Charted Patterns #31-44

Here are more Japanese crochet motifs I promised you, with the charted patterns for each.

  I posted most of the chart symbols in an earlier post called "Teach Yourself How To Read Charted Crochet Patterns"  so don't let the charts intimidate you if you've never tried using them before.  I found the charts to be much easier and faster to get through than a written pattern.


A Note On Printing The Images:
 The side bars on this blog put a lot of restrictions on images and they may overlap into them and I don't know how your printer would handle this overlapping, if it does occur.  To get a clean print of each image, right click on the image you want to print and choose "view image".  This ought to open a window (or tab) where you can see only the image you clicked on.  From there you can enlarge the image to it's original size so you can actually see the chart symbols without squinting!  YAY!  
Now that you see only the image you want, once again right click on the image and choose "save image as.." so you can save it to your hard drive.   The image will be  is saved you can use your computer's image manager to print it out.  Or you can do what I usually do (to save paper and ink).  I don't bother printing the patterns, I just leave them on my computer and use my computer as a pattern reader, organizer, - a virtual storage for all the patterns I hoard and I can also keep track of all the WIP I have going on at any given time (which is something I try not to pay too much attention to, ha ha)

 If you make anything using the motifs I've posted - or even dream up what you'd like to do with the motifs, leave your ideas in the comment boxes with the number(s) of the motif(s) that you chose for  your project.  I'm thinking about adding a link with my email (yikes! Scary!) so you can send me photos of your creations and I can post them periodically as they come in.  It's just a thought right now so don't look for an email button yet.  heh heh...

Enjoy these beautiful motif patterns, I love to browse through them and just look at them for motivation and inspiration - they're so beautiful.  Japanese crocheters have a marvellous talent with hook and yarn or thread.  I've been discovering the advanced crochet techniques used in other countries besides Japan and am very impressed and amazed by their creations and designs.  I'll be sharing more and more of our crocheters across the seas in upcoming posts.

Have a very blessed day! 

 -------Speaking Out because if I don't say anything I might as well be helping the terrorists myself------------------------

Warning:  The following is getting political and speaks out about Mr. Obama.  If you find this to be offensive to you please stop here.  If you don't want to be blind to what our own president has done, continue reading.  I will not debate anything I write below this paragraph.  Everything stated here is true and factual and can be backed up with actual video and documentation that the Egyptians are happy to share with us.   The rest of it is my opinion and is not debatable because I said so.  I've never been so outspoken about anything political my whole life.  I never saw a need.  Today I see that silence and ignoring what is going on could have terrifying effects on our country as we have always known it. 

Keep the beautiful country Egypt and her people in your prayers please.  They are being tormented by Muslim Brotherhood extremists - terrorists.  My Egyptian friend who resides in Egypt tells me much about what goes on there.  She is a beautiful woman who tries to help America by telling us what our own president has done that aided the extremists of the MB.  Egyptians do not hold Americans accountable for Obama's actions and refusals to take action.  They only hold Obama himself responsible for much of what is happening in their country today.  My friend and most other Egyptians have been trying very hard to warn us, to show us, to tell us what Obama has done and what his intentions are, for months and months - maybe longer but I only know it as being the past six months or so. 
I will not sit by and do nothing and say nothing.  Since I can't pick up an assault riffle and go to Egypt myself to help ward off the terrorists and stop them in their tracks, I feel it is my duty as an American to speak out and try to get the word out, try to get people to react and do something so that what is happening in Egypt doesn't end up happening here in America.  They terrorized us once, on 9-11.  They continue to keep our sense of terror heightened by building a mosque at Ground Zero, organizing a million Muslim  march to Washington DC - on 9-11, and on and on the list goes. 

(below is mostly my opinions but they are based on facts)

I am not a hater of anyone's religion (except that of the Satanic cult, I suppose).  I do my best to practice tolerance, patience, and acceptance of the views of others especially their religion.  It is the terrorists I hate, the Muslim Brotherhood extremists who have vowed to kill all who don't convert to Muslim because "god" told them this is what they must do.  In the name of their "god". 
President Bush did great things after the attack on 9-11.  He brought our country together as one: United we stood.  There were no Republicans, Democrats, whites, blacks, browns... We were all Americans and we all stood by our flag and our Constitution and by our President.  President Bush stepped up to the plate and did everything necessary to make sure we would be safe, that we would feel safe once again, that the people responsible for the attacks that day would be held accountable and, well, that we were going to kick some ass!  I had great confidence and trust in President Bush.  I believed what he told us because I knew he loved our country the same as we all did. 

I do not have this same trust and confidence in our current president.  I do not believe he has our country's best interest at heart.  I do not feel safe.  I do not know that my life, liberty, and my Constitutional rights are safe and protected. 
The Egyptians are experiencing first hand what Obama has done to help the very
people he's supposed to be protecting us from.  I fear to think what he would do - if anything if we were faced with the same terrorism that Egypt is facing today.  

Again, please keep Egypt and her people in your prayers and pray hard that enough Americans take heed to what Egypt is telling us and something is done to stop the terrorists - and Obama - before they turn on America.
