I loaded the next QOV quilt onto the frame
and hope to get at least half of it done today.
Mom gave me one of my Aunt's doilies and thought I could figure out the pattern and write it out; she likes written directions and I like a chart when it comes to crochet. Now to do a test run!
Those crochet charts are a mystery to me. I can see how deconstructing a pattern could help with with figuring them out.
ReplyDeleteThat QOV pattern is beautiful. Have fun with your pattern. It looks pretty easy to figure out ---- or at least very close.
ReplyDeleteThe crocheted doily brings back memories. Going through my oarents' house, I came across doilies and squares for bedspreads that my mother had made.
ReplyDeleteEek, charted crochet!!! I run in terror. LOL. Can't wait to see the quilt done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt! As for me, I don't ever crochet unless a knitting pattern requires it; it's just not my thing.
ReplyDeleteI prefer written instructions although I can follow charts too. My grandma taught me to make a doll sized zig-zag blanket for my baby dolls when I was 7. It was my first and last project with her because she died soon after. I only knew the chain and single crochet. I had NO. idea how to read a pattern or what all of those letters and symbols stood for. However, I was determined to learn and taught myself. Years later I watched YouTube to teach myself knitting because no one I knew was knitting at the time and I wanted to make socks. Now it seems a lot of younger people are knitting. Oops. Sorry, I didn't mean to write a book!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,

I definitely need written instructions for crochet -- charts don't make a lot of sense to me. I used to make tons of doilies but not so much anymore. That looks like a pretty little design.
ReplyDeleteLove that QOV!! you can do it!
