Awesome! I've been using a bit of that whenever I come across a tricky part. Are you on Ravelry? It's a fantastic knitting/crocheting site that literally has every knitting/crochet pattern on the internet linked up to it. Every project has a section at the side where you can see pictures of other users completed results as well as their notes and such. I'm on it daily!! Make an account, you'll love it! If you do, feel free to add me, my username is "queezycalf" I know it's a strange user name but there's a story that goes along with it and it kinda just stuck hahah
