Thank you for sharing the potential fix, though. It's always frustrating when a pattern isn't clear or actually turns out to be wrong!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898393424567867155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785988841295226670.post-108262916436103962012-07-06T18:06:39.616-05:002012-07-06T18:06:39.616-05:00Hi I used to crochet as a young child and have bou...Hi I used to crochet as a young child and have bought this book to re-learn the craft. In that respect the book is fine although I agree that the abbreviations in some of the patterns and the instructions are a little difficult to interpret. My main issue is I think there is an error in pattern 16 the Camisole. Re the Lower Section Row 2 I think there should be a sc between each shell since in Row 3 it says to sc in the middle of the shell followed by working a shell in the NEXT sc. If you repeat after the * in Row 2 as instructed there is only one sc in the previous row, so you cannot work the shells in Row 3 in the sc's that should be there.I would like to email the designer Leigh K Nestor however whilst there are many of her patters on the net I cant dind any email contact for her.allyshakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10196115282604559846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785988841295226670.post-64586124565185230932012-02-10T16:46:59.780-06:002012-02-10T16:46:59.780-06:00Uborrowmycar, I haven't tried that pattern, bu...Uborrowmycar, I haven't tried that pattern, but I know what you mean.

Sorry I couldn't help, but I'm glad you're enjoying your new hobby! :)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898393424567867155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785988841295226670.post-61071779201963631522011-07-10T20:34:00.513-05:002011-07-10T20:34:00.513-05:00Bought this book a few days ago and really like it...Bought this book a few days ago and really like it although I may check out the youtube vids you suggest. I'm a long time knitter so the instructions were fairly easy for me to follow. I can't wait to get started on a project! I would love to make the blue long sleeve sweater on the cover. Any idea where I might find the pattern or something similar?

I'd like to make blankets someday, but I already have more blankets than I can use. :) So I read, more advanced another book, and now have made ("freestyle", no pattern) a small purse and a large hot-pad, both of which I needed.<br /><br />Good luck on your project, and thanks for stopping by!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898393424567867155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785988841295226670.post-84029841037116550002011-07-07T00:25:04.353-05:002011-07-07T00:25:04.353-05:00I just bought this book last week and with the hel...I just bought this book last week and with the help of it and my mother-in-law I have finally learnt crochet.
