I dropped on dc to help stop the bludging, but two singles would drop even more bulk from the 6ch loop.<br /><br />Thanks for that tip, I'll tuck it away for my next one. :)<br /><br />I hope you're settling in well at your new home - I know you are; how exciting!Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-73905747978704086042011-07-03T23:37:51.581+10:002011-07-03T23:37:51.581+10:00Very beautiful and the red is perfect for you. You...Very beautiful and the red is perfect for you. You did the right thing by changing the hook size. <br />Your adjustments are more inline with the first link to the pattern I posted too. I didn't realize that the second one eliminated the single crochet steps. The original pattern called for two single crochets to start that row. <br />Anyhow, it looks great! I'm working on one with wool as well, what we call sports weight here and its much larger than the thread one I made!LindaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03624659670781181099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-21737021356103537852011-07-02T16:29:55.335+10:002011-07-02T16:29:55.335+10:00very nice Chris lov the redvery nice Chris lov the redNicole and Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07463146316953697505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-35645438364309274672011-07-01T21:11:09.423+10:002011-07-01T21:11:09.423+10:00Hi MW
You asked the two-million dollar question -...Hi MW<br /><br />You asked the two-million dollar question - I believe it's the UK stitch terminology. Although as far as I'm concerned, it should be the Aussie double crochet. <br /><br />I learned it from an Australian who taught me in Australia...patriotic much, LOL. ;)<br /><br />I do believe it would have more in common with the UK version though: Wrap thread around hook, insert into loop, grab thread again and pull through (total of three loops on hook). Crochet two stitches together, then crochet last two.<br /><br />Hope that clears it up, LOL. Probably not, the world of crochet is a mysterious thing. I was just so lucky my mum knew enough to teach me the basics. :)Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-11344563663788833672011-07-01T09:43:06.257+10:002011-07-01T09:43:06.257+10:00Thats so pretty Chris, well done!

You really suit the bright red too. <br />One day I might get round to doing one like that, for now I'm still doing straight scarves or granny squares! I don't mind though, more practice for me to build my confidence up, and I'll know when I need to try something more fancy when I get bored :-) <br /><br />Thanks for the tutorial too (are you using US or UK stitch terminology for 'dc'? that always confuses me that its not universal)mountainwildlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697065701317854063noreply@blogger.com
