Major Milestone!! - hook case

[Frangipani]

This is my first attempt EVER at reading a pattern!! Can you believe I have been crocheting for over 4 years and never learned!?! I said this year I wanted to learn so I wouldn't keep winging it and LOOKIE!!! I also tried this Casewww.sarahanns.com/crochetworks/case.html (http://www.sarahanns.com/crochetworks/case.html)

Here is the front if the case. I beaded the flower on the front.

Beautiful case. Love the color and the beaded flower. :yay2

Congrats on learning to read a pattern.

Here is a tip to help you with your pattern reading.

When you come to a part that is or seems difficult, :th take pen and paper and write down the row. It takes a while if you have a lot of stitches, but it sure helps.

Sometimes you have to see it all in order to make it clear. :ideanot

Good luck and keep up the fun.

Hey Bec, Great job! Very pretty! looks like you have been reading patterns all your life.:danc

[hamlette2002]

I was so grateful when CraftyChristine took the time to teach me how to read patterns, and understand the directions on unusual stitches as well. I know I was incredibly excited when I learned - a whole new world was opened up for me! I can't wait to see what else you accomplish with your newfound skill!
