Question
amalapert
1. Working ends in - I know how to finish off the yarn by pulling it through the loop on hook. But it seems that my tails are always showing in every piece of work I do. I can't EVER find them in anyone else's work. What am I doing wrong? Is there a special technique? I usually just weave it in and out of existing thicker areas of stitching with a needle.
2. What does PAT mean? I've seen it mostly in older instructions, I think. As in:
Row 2: 1 sc in ch-1 space, * ch 1, 1 sc in next ch-1 space, repeat from * across, end last sc in turning-ch, ch 2, turn. Counting turning-ch as first sc & ch-1 space, there are 26 (31-35) sc & 25 (30-34) ch-1 spaces. Repeat Row 2 for pat, working 2 more rows with A for first stripe.
3. I have a couple really large hooks that don't have the size printed on them. Is there any easy way of determining their correct sizes?
I think that's all for now.
Thanks!
Laurie
