I chained 16 with a G hook. I used leftover Deramores Stylecraft Special DK from the S16-17 scarf for my yarn colors
BBC - my color
Purple - Stylecraft Special DK Burgundy
Camel - Stylecraft Special DK Camel
Mustard - Stylecraft Special DK Sunshine
Rust - Stylecraft Special DK Copper
Grey - Stylecraft Special DK Graphite
Greenish Brown - Stylecraft Special DK Khaki
Bronze - Stylecraft Special DK Walnut
I will put the pattern up at Crochet Cabana and probably at Ravelry as well.
Now I need to sew the tails in on the S16-17 as well!
Have you ever found a pattern you liked but it was written using a different terminology than you are used to - in my case a British pattern perhaps? I have a conversion chart at Crochet Cabana but I ran across this video by Mikey at the Crochet Crowd and I liked his presentation and thought I would share it here.
I also ran across this video demonstrating how to make yarn out of paper! Who doesn't have paper?
I also mustn't forget to mention Red Heart's yearly 12 weeks of Christmas. A new pattern appears each week in both crochet and knit.
Another great idea is shown in this video demonstrating how to make a double crochet as the first stitch of your row without using the chain-3 method. She calls it the chainless starting double crochet.
I have seen this numerous times and have yet to actually wind my yarn this way. I really need to do it. It's a center pull method.
Happy crocheting!
Sandie
