Submitted by ronib48 on Mon, 2009-11-30 17:41.I think there may be an error on round two. How do you do 2hdc in the next 3hdc? Any suggestions
hope i can help

Submitted by Pip on Mon, 2009-11-16 17:20.I thought these were so cute and decided to try them out just for fun. I couldn't get it right! I undid it several times because I could see it wasn't working then decided just to go ahead. I finished it but is wasn't right. Has anyone else had this problem or is it just me reading the pattern wrong ... which is a possibility :)
i had trouble too!
Submitted by erin on Tue, 2009-11-17 09:11.I had some trouble when I did them, too, at first--I made the one in pink and purple that we show in the pattern. I finally just took it *really slow* and made sure my stitch marker was in the correct place, and it did work!
I will have another go. When
Submitted by Pip on Tue, 2009-11-17 15:43.I will have another go. When I looked at it from the front ... like it is in the magazine for example.... the back bits were uneven! I will be more careful with marking, what do you use to mark stitches?
split-ring markers are my fave
Submitted by erin on Wed, 2009-11-18 09:04.I definitely like split-ring markers, but have been known to snag a paper clip out of the desk drawer in a pinch!
