Crochet "Chat" - Page 460

FuryanGoddess-Welcome. It's fun to be with people who love crocheting and chickens.  We love seeing pictures of each others' projects (and chicks), too. I hope you can post a picture of your afghan when you've finished.

I will, thanks.. :D If I can stop looking at my peeps long enough.  They grew over night!!!

Ok, I need some help.

I have a pattern for a tiger paw afghan and I haven't the slightest clue how to start this thing. The pattern is different - it's a chart instead of written instructions. Can anybody tell me how to start this... or have any tips for this type of crochet?

I also have the PDF pattern downloaded if you need to see it in an email.

I've never learned how to read crochet charts  (and always translate knitting charts to row by row!)

The author (ravelry name: noobykniiter) said you could contact her with any questions.  I'd start there!

love it!!

i have a lot of old timey pattern books too i inhared them from my grate aunt.

a friend of mine and I have been searching for this pattern for the past week - and we can't find it.  We found something similar, but it's just not it.  Do any of you lovely folks have this pattern or know what it's called??

 

I'm thinking you read it row by row like cross stitch or some knitting patterns. I'll ask her/him to be sure. Thanks!

I think that most of y'all know that I've been working on a blanket for quite some time. Well, it's all finished! Finally! I posted pictures of the Crochet/Knit Club thread, here's a link > http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/657051/crochet-knit-club/20
