Bedspread Bonanza

[judianne]

Julie, would it be okay for Athba - and all of us - to paraphrase part of the pattern...or just use a few words of it? Some published works allow a little quoting...

[Aussie]

It makes it hard to hep anyone on here if you dont have the book. Does anyone have the book and could maybe help Athba with this problem.

 

Im going to bed now. Catch u all tomorrow.

[judianne]

Athba...which book has the pattern you are having the problem with?

[q8_crochet]

a crochet garden of afghans

[judianne]

a crochet garden of afghans

I don't have that book, but maybe it's printed in one of the others in my big collection of pattern books.

What's the name of the pattern?

[q8_crochet]

captivating cosmos (in my signeture)

[judianne]

Athba, out of ALL my pattern books I don't seem to have the pattern you're working on:( ...I hope you can figure it out. Try your own idea instead of doing what the pattern says - many times there are slight errors in the patterns and this could be why you're having trouble.

Don't give up:cheer

[q8_crochet]

I just computed how many squares I need for my BS:

56, unless I goof and it turns out not to have a long enough drop:( .

Not too bad, compared to everyone else's!

[QueenOfCrochet]

Good Morning All!

 

I may just take a break from the PS & work on some of my BS. I still have to get more yarn because I only have enough for one more motif, what a sin. :eek

Happy shopping Tabby, don't buy too much over what you need.

[Fidgement]

Athba,

 

I have the book and if you refer to page 143 along the right side of the page, there is a picture describing what the designer means by working around the stitch. Leisure Arts books are very good about using pictures. Annies Attic isn't good about it.

 

Look at it and see if that helps you and let me know.

[q8_crochet]

judi don`t stop

 

taby buy yarn as fast as you can and race as

 

Fidgement i know how to work around the syich but if you go back to the pattern we worked 4 sts betwaan each 2 chans spaces and in round 4 she is asking to work 3 sts as we understood

its confusing

[JulieKay]

Howdy ladies

 

I got a note regarding the part of the pattern Athba is having trouble with ---

 

From what I understand, she'd be allowed to post the line or round of the pattern that is giving her some trouble, as long as it is just a small piece of the pattern .

 

So, Athba, if you are still stuck and needing assistance , go ahead and post the part that you don;t understand and maybe someone here will be able to help you .

 

Thanks to the member that checked into this !

[Fidgement]

Athba, Upon finishing round 3, did you end up with 30 sts?

[Fidgement]

Athba, Later today I'll crochet up to the point your at. When I read it, it seems to work and I'm confused about where your confused. In round 4, you are working with stitches made in round 2 as well as 3.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Good afternoon, all. Just checking in. It is gorgeous here today, so I'm going to go back out for a walk. Short-sleeve weather in January. Love it. I've been to a meeting and to church already. I was working on the striped popcorn BS at the meeting and got lots of compliments. The green is definately working well with the other colors. Will check back later. Happy crocheting.

[JulieKay]

Hi Linda

It sounds like you are having an enjoyable day.

 

I LOVE your state -- so beautiful and REALLY friendly people .

[q8_crochet]

Fidgement

yes i end the 3rd round with 30sts

i know that i should work with both sts of rows 3 &2

i`m confused about reading that i should (aftar the 3 chains counts as 1st dc) work 1 dc then 2 dc in one stich then 1 dc ( which makes 1 stich from the 3rd round without working on it)

and when i work before and after the space chain the sts are near each other to much ( no space between them)

confusing ha !!!

[q8_crochet]

ladeis question

is that the red heart super saver yarn ??

http://www.amazon.com/Red-Heart-Super-Saver-Yarn/dp/B0001DS4JU/sr=1-3/qid=1168807115/ref=sr_1_3/103-5452807-9565446?ie=UTF8&s=office-products

[darski]

Athba, is that all that the pattern says or did you add some. If you just give us the one row, no harm done and we will be able to help more.

 

Your comments don't help us to see the problem.

 

I am assuming that you are making the afghan with the flowers on the front page of the pattern book. What is happeing in the point where you are having a problem

are you creating the 3D flower?

are you creating the background of green leaves?

[Fidgement]

Athba,

 

my pattern says: abbreviated instructions

 

join with sc in first dc of any 3-dc group

2 sc in next dc, sc in next dc

working around next ch-1 work Lsc in skipped sc on Rnd 1

 

Does this look similar to your instructions?

[Ladykats]

Wow, I'm confused. Am I missing something, What is a " Lsc" Long single crochet to the 1 chain space on row 1 maybe

[Fidgement]

Yes Tracey, that is what it is. There is a box on the page explaining that so she should be okay with the abbreviation.
