Crochet: Granny Square Purse Tote Bag Finished

So, here's how I added the handles to the purse. I think I might change it though. Sometime in the future. The handles hurt when I put this over my shoulder.

Blogger

This is just a question but is anybody else having problems with posting here on blogger. I know for a while there was a problem with blogger, maybe it was last week. I don't know if this is residual problems from that or if it's just something with my computer. Whenever I try and post something, it won't let me hit the "publish post" button, I have to go to where it says "edit posts" and then select a post and then hit "publish selected". When I put my cursor over the orange button that says "publish post", it says "javascript void". Also, within my texts of a new post, I can't select what I want and change the font. Is anybody else out there having this same problem or is it just me?

Crochet: Cloche/Flapper Finished

This one has been finished for a while now.


I think this is the part where I had to add the second color. It was only one row of white.
Here's the finished project.
I'm not sure why I didn't show me making the flower.
I think because I couldn't get it at first...

..but really I don't know what the reason was.

Pattern Help

I wonder if anybody can help me out there. I was wondering if somebody can tell me what this (*) means in a pattern. An example of what I am talking about is at the top, where it says "Pattern". Thanks!

Computer Advice

So, I just wanted to share some computer advice for anybody out there who is listening. Here's my story:

About a couple of weeks ago, I was surfing through the internet, and looking at some clip art images, when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, my computer tells me I have a virus and it needs to remove it. So I'm thinking, yeah, that's a good thing, remove it. But I think that was the virus, because, after that, I couldn't connect to the internet anymore. It was stuck. So I turned my computer off, and I have this thing from BestBuy where I can call these people, called the Geek Squad to get help with any computer related problems. I talk to somebody there and they tell me to bring it in and it will cost about $70 to get it fixed. I was also advised to just keep it turned off, because I didn't want to cause any more problems with the computer. So I did that. So I waited because I wasn't able to get my computer to BestBuy until yesterday. When it was finally brought to BestBuy, they said there was no such price as $70 to get the computer fixed, that it would cost about $200. $200!!!!!!! This computer only cost about $500! Anyway, we didn't pay $200. We did a little searching around on this computer and figured out that we could restore the computer to a later date, a date before the computer got infected. For free. Free!! So anyway, the moral or lesson of the story is, please before you think about coughing up $200 or $300 dollars to get your computer fixed, find a friend, a family member, or somebody online like maybe one of those websites that let you ask questions, before you waste that money when you can save that money and pay a bill.
