I've tried some that just don't make any sense to me at all. Sometimes I see others making certain projects, but when I try, I can't decipher the pattern enough to get very far. So I am partly to blame, but sometimes I do see a pattern and think, I could write this out in so much simpler terms -- and sometimes I do just that, if I want to make something more than once. I certainly don't know how you write out lengthy patterns. Or translate what makes sense to you in a way that everyone will understand.<br /><br />Beautiful photographs of the moon. Weather here is nice. Still using the a/c just a bit during the day. Can't open the doors and windows because there are tons of flies, mosquitoes and little gnatty things after all the rain we had a little while back. <br /><br />Wishing you a great new week.<br />TammyTammy@T's Daily Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474928708908027789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-56954037727246454082015-11-28T09:14:43.773-06:002015-11-28T09:14:43.773-06:00Beautiful photos.

I am with you with pattern writing it is so time consuming and difficult to get right, thats why I don't do it very often, I love charts you can see everything at a glimpse but finding good chart software is difficult too.

One advantage to computer coding is that the computer will follow the instructions exactly. It's attention doesn't wander in the middle of the instruction, complaining that the pattern was incorrect. One disadvantage is that the computer follows the instructions exactly. It can't recognize an obvious typo and make adjustments. Testing and correcting a program leads to lots of hair pulling. The different styles of writing computer code are called, what else, languages.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122288596010608667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-50721647192896707732015-11-25T09:27:15.672-06:002015-11-25T09:27:15.672-06:00Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving and thank you...Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving and thank you for sharing your beautiful photos.

I remember looking at those free patterns on the inside of a skein of yarn and I swear I was like a cartoon person with a thought bubble that had an enormous question mark in it. When starting a pattern, it's always a kind of blind faith exercise. Then, if there's a problem, I wonder, is it the pattern or me? Probably me. Because I agree, it's a math-y thing. I prefer charts.Neighborhood Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11344280490113831120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-4849710355068296882015-11-24T12:05:33.999-06:002015-11-24T12:05:33.999-06:00I love your outdoor photos.
