* Now, I am thinking maybe a video tutorial isn't the right thing for me so I searched for other tutorials and found this one

This is where I screamed to Adam because I was sooo excited. I also jumped up and did a little dance :)
It sooooo isn't right but I think I am least "getting it" better.
Now I am going to cut this off and put it in a journal and start all over again with my newly discovered skills and hope to actually get a square!!
This is progress I think :)
yay for some sort of success--that's exactly how i'm viewing my whole learning process! if it comes out in some sort of connected shape, i know i'm doing something right!
ReplyDeleteomg -- you are so cute! i love it!
ReplyDeletegood luck with the granny square.
im so intimidated by them that i dont even want to try.
good for you!! you can totally do it. :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I am so glad you go it. Us Aries are determined people and will keep trying until we get it right :)
ReplyDeleteGo Janel go! :D
ReplyDeletewhat color scheme are you using? :)
Mine are black and grey :O its so hard to crochet with black yarn X(
Wish I looked that good after painting all day!
ReplyDeleteYou're so stinkin' cute! You can dooooo it!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing it!! Yes!
ReplyDeleteNow I don't know the correct terms to use, but from your photo it looks like you are adding stitches on every chain (so you have lots of large squares).
Do your 3 chains, then add your extra stitches, then 3 chains, then add your extra stitches...do this 4 times and you have your first square with 4 big holes on the ends.
I hope this makes sense...and if anyone is reading this comment and I am wrong, please correct me.
You are doing awesome.

Thanks for posting the picture tutorial link. It helps to see the action "frozen" now that I've watched the videos (which were a bit overwhelming).
ReplyDeleteKeep on keeping on!!!
Yay Janel! You are getting closer! Keep up the great work!
