I am flattered you even found my little hole on the internet - I still plan on going back and finishing the squares in the leaflet even though I ended up going a different route with the throw (that turned into a blanket *laughs*). I think its awesome you have the instructional videos available on your website. I definitely appreciate the idea of videos trumping stagnant images when it comes to crochet!Crishttp://crochet-with-cris.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884416285402915069.post-52545229950467045112013-10-22T18:23:52.511-05:002013-10-22T18:23:52.511-05:00Dear Cris,

Just wanted you to know that free instructional videos for all the stitches are available at BonnieBayCrochet.com. It was my desire to include a video of these stitches with the leaflet, but Leisure Arts did not agree. Oh well, such is life as a crochet designer! So many of us are strong visual learners, and sometimes plain words and stagnant photos won't do. Blessings to you...<br /><br /><br />Warmly,<br /><br /><br />Bonnie Barker<br />BonnieBayCrochet.comBonnieBayCrochetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884416285402915069.post-77279066300322325682013-10-22T18:19:59.651-05:002013-10-22T18:19:59.651-05:00Dear Cris,

I think this should clear up any difficulty with the stitches. I pleaded with Leisure Arts to include my videos with the leaflet, but low and behold they did not agree. Such is life as a designer!

Would it be possible for you to maybe change those two rows of reverse sc and substitute some other stitch? Other than that, I really don't know what to suggest --- all your options have merit, and it sounds as if you really love the pattern, so ..... perhaps keep going and if there's a particular square you're really not happy with then just try it again or change it. I'll be interested to hear what you decide.
