I believe MM is Move Marker. Also - there is a list of abreviations here: http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=99545

I was about 100 (by about 90 wide) rows into a filet piece and frogged the entire thing because the sides weren't lining up. I've yet to attempt the piece again because of the distractions with my almost 2 year old!

Wow, that is really incredible! I think I should make one for my daughter who is just going to be 2 now but might come in handy when she's learning all of the states in school!

Thanks for posting - my father in law has wanted one of these forever and I didn't know where to start! I'll definitely be using your pattern for an x-mas gift this year!

That is so pretty!

I think you did a great job! It looks awesome.

I love your blanket and would love the pattern as well when you get it. I just started doing entrelac and I'm hooked!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I've actually tried marking the pattern, covering the rows up and the safety pins. I'll try again in a few years when I can concentrate more on it. Hopefully my toddler will be more independent then and let mommy work on her crochet!

Hi all, I'm was working on a fairly large filet crochet piece. It's about 150 squares tall by 90 squares wide. What I'm having a hard time with is keeping track of where I'm at/counting. I started once going from side to side. Then I turned the graph sideways and worked the long side first. I got to about 30 rows and then found I was "off". I really didn't want to "fudge" the mistake so I ripped out to the error but have gotten discouraged and haven't picked it up since (about a month now). Do you think it would be okay to "split" the graph and work 2 halves and then whip stitch it together? It's a portrait of a well known person but I'm not sure how this will look. Maybe I will have to give up working on such a large piece with a toddler running around that throws off my concentration. But your thoughts would be appreciated on what I can do.

I started with these: http://www.crochetmemories.com/archive/misc16.html http://www.crochetmemories.com/archive/february5.html It shows pictures of what your's should look like along the way and the directions were really clear.

That is really pretty - I think I need to put all my projects away and just crochet snowflakes for my x-mas tree this year!

Those are just beautiful. I have the book to do this but haven't attempted it yet.

That is sooooo cute!!!!!

that is just gorgeous!

that is really really pretty!
