Crochet Me Crazy

Two more rows and I'll have a potholder!


Probably not a blanket yet. It's such a pretty pattern and I'm just playing around with it using some yarn scraps. I've tried this before and gave up. I don't know what I was doing wrong last time because I haven't had any trouble with it this time. Maybe I was tired or the UK terminology screwed me up.

This patterns can be found here: Wool Eater Instructions � If you need help, she does a wonderful job of illustrating.

I'm jotting down my own notes for this pattern in US terms without the pictures for myself so I don't have to keep turning the pages and reminding myself that its written in UK terms. Maybe this will be useful to someone else.
