I have made a few bracelets already using different threads and beads and used one larger bead instead of two sometimes. I don't know how to attach my pictures but I have linked your website to my pins on Pinterest so others can enjoy this lovely pattern. <br />Grace IsraaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551828212355866788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-66393331499831614642014-12-12T09:53:44.376-06:002014-12-12T09:53:44.376-06:00Sorry for this horribly late reply!

My sister taught me to crochet when I was very young, but most of the odd techniques I post on the blog are things I worked out for myself in the last few years. :)Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-7982596242335375482014-12-12T09:52:17.170-06:002014-12-12T09:52:17.170-06:00Dear Nunnie,

I do like to use a large yarn whenever possible for tutorials, but due to time constraints, sometimes it works out better for me to use the actual project and project yarn. Most of my patterns include a phototutorial, which allows the viewer to zoom in and enlarge the photos onscreen if they need to. Unfortunately this pattern did not include photos, so I'm sorry if you found it difficult to see the finer points on the video. Feel free to email me at any time (or use the comment box) to ask questions about the pattern, and I will do my best to help.<br /><br />Thanks again, and happy crocheting!Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-58386124613666916272014-12-08T08:37:52.439-06:002014-12-08T08:37:52.439-06:00Dear Mrs. Micawber,

However, may I gently make a suggestion?? I'm much older and have bad vision, so it was difficult for me to really see some of the stitches you were working into. I always have this problem which is why I usually stick to simple patterns. I'm not very good (especially at reading patterns - ugh) but I've recently started to crochet again after a long time. If you could use larger yarn and hook size just to allow for ease in identifying the stitches you're working into, that would be so helpful for me and others who have the same difficulty. It would obviously be for demo only and not the correct size. Just a thought. Thank you for your pattern and video. Plus, you have a very nice voice to listen to.

You've beat my 3. :)<br /><br />I don't know if the forward loop chain is my own creation - I think it may be, because I came up with it myself - but it's perfectly possible it exists out there already.<br /><br />Some credit must go to Vashti Braha who planted the seed of this idea a year or two back, with a pattern using (if I remember correctly) cast-on backward loops to form a lacy or shell-like sort of trim. The idea stuck in my head and has since emerged in other forms, including the forward loop chain.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-37835913754580220532013-08-04T21:37:20.902-05:002013-08-04T21:37:20.902-05:00I love these and have made 5 already.
