Crochet "Chat"

[sewchick]

I do the same only i use old quilt blocks that I didn't have enough material for. Makes up quite nice and it does keep the easy chairs and couch looking good. Also, my husband reads the newspaper an leaves them on the arm of the couch. I have learned to make sure there is something there to protect it. Now if I could train the cat not to bring in mice and put them on the rugs.....

First off are you from Mass/Maine or Northern Maine? I saw a History channel thing about Maine and it was educational.

Now for your leaf. It looks very much like a Maple Leaf to me. Sorry this is so big but notice that Nature is not perfectly symmetrical, so that your picots are not even is in keeping with mother nature. I think she would approve.

Father time,

I think I am happy with the red one. Looks more like a leaf. I tried to copy the one you posted the best I could. I am going to make up a bunch tonight and see if I can get a doily together by Friday night.

Well I did read a book once called Mouse Soup. You might like it. If you can stomach that sort of thing.

I love the variety of the two shapes. Kinda like snowflakes.

The choice is yours of course. I prefer the orange, but both are nice. I think a doily with a combination would be nice. Did you write down instructions for them?

I have a lot of different odd things to eat. Fish eyes, raw clams,<- (not that good) rocky mountain oysters, ox tail stew, squid, octopus, ground hog, cow tongue, horse meat, deer meat, bear meat, moose meat, squirrel, beaver, I really don't think I could get past the thought of mouse soup.Mice are nasty little critters. I would try just about anything. I may or may not have had dog and cat meat. Never know at some of those asian restaurants. I would not do so knowingly. I have pets and do not consider them food except the chickens. Never had the pigs feet. I just hate pork. I might eat a mouse if I was starved. No worry there!!

My husband is worse than I am. He will eat anything. He pick wild mushrooms. I wait to try them after I know he is ok.

Could I get some help interpreting this part of my pattern? It is the sleeve for my sweater. I think I understand it, but I just want to be sure.

How many hdc are you making in the first row and which size are you making? That would be helpful to "map out" these directions based on the fact that you should end up with 57 (61, 63, 67, 67) hdc at the end of the first step after Row 1.

My interpretation is:

Row 2: 2 hdc in first stitch and 2 hdc in last stitch (increase row)
Row 3: 1 hdc in each stitch
Row 4: 2 hdc in first stitch and 2 hdc in last stitch
Row 5: 1 hdc in each stitch
Repeat pattern until you have done an increase row 7 (11, 13, 18, 18) times AFTER Row 2.

Then reduce your "increase row" frequency to every FOURTH row (instead of every other row) 6 (4, 3, 0, 0) times.

This pattern is confusing. There should a degree in crochet pattern interpretation!
