My personal blog for posting what's on my mind and what I'm up to.
Strange....
Hmm...I'm a little nervous about this crochet pattern I bought, the Woodsmans Wife shawl. As I was reading the materials needed, it says 160 yards, being 5 skeins of a super bulky homespun yarn, but there's like 140 yards on one skein...so it doesn't make sense. And then I had to do almost twice as many chain stitches for the foundation row, to match the 72" of length the diagram says it needs. Hopefully there's no other issues with the pattern...



I'm just learning to crochet properly myself but this sounds super frustrating. Hopefully you can make enough sense of it to turn out a lovely piece.
