Olga -- Thanks for the information. I am curious -- in case a problem like that pops up somewhere for me some time -- what did you do on the next row? Did you try to make the following row counts the same as the pattern count or keep them less too? (I know, I know, I ask too many questions -- like a pesky kid.)

Hang in there, Nancy! You'll be in my thoughts :hug

 

 

Hey ladies! Can I ask for prayers from the praying women here? When I fell down our stairs about 5 months ago, I messed up my foot and ankle. Didn't think of anything else. Well, when I started walking and biking about 4 weeks ago, my low back started really hurting. I had x-rays done yesterday and found out that my low spine is really screwed up. I had a treament yesterday and I am in big time pain. Came down to email and let everyone know I'm not allowed to sit (or am I able to comfortably) at my puter.

 

 

I guess I'll be getting my afghan finished sooner than I thought! hahaha

 

Hugs all and I'll check back when I can.:manyheart

Would a size smaller hook work or not ? I know the suede is probably pretty thick and needs a bigger hook, but would it work if you used a size smaller ?

 

Good suggestion Julie. ;) I'm not sure if going down a size hook would work. If it starts to stretch again I can try that. For now I've adjusted some of the stitches.

Hi Guys

I am going to post this in here and also the other crochetalongs I started . Just in case you didn't read about my new crochetalong group that is starting up , I am looking for a donation of any square from the 63 afghan book one OR two , made in Caron Simply Soft, off white . I am also asking for a postcard from your area along with the square. These will be combined into an afghan to be donated to the Silent Auction held to help Crochetville pay the expenses of keeping the site up and running .

I really need your help gang, and know if you appreciate Crochetville as much as I do, you'd want to help us out if possible .

Any questions, please post them here or you can EM or PM me . I'll get back to you right away on it .

Thanks very much !!:)

Shelain -- is that Loin Suede? LOVE the colors!

Don't be so fast to :frog .. I think it'll flatten out.

 

Everyone's looks really fantastic!!

 

I still can't find my yarn to finish my LAST ROW -- I'm calling different LYS today -- cross your fingers for me ladies!! I've been to two other stores and NO ONE HAS THIS COLOR!!

Looking for TLC Essentials Warm Brown -- anyone know if it got discontinued or something?

Julie, it is lion suade, the color in the middle is teal. I love it, it is so soft. Somehow I ended up with to many stitches in that last round so I am going to have to sit down and count, yuck! hope to get back to it in the next week or so.
