Bernat Mystery Crochet Along Clue # 2



Phew! I am finally done with my 2 squares based on clue # 2. I unraveled and unraveled and unraveled - not sure how many times! But, finally with the help of so many people's comments and a video someone put on youtube, I figured out what I was doing wrong, and was finally able to make some progress. Thank you everyone who helped me! You gals and guys are great! I have been thinking of learning crocheting for so long, but was always afraid on how to get started. I got the basics down with the help of a book, but reading and understanding patterns, well - that was a totally different matter. This crochet along is a very good learning experience for me. There is a real feel for community, and I am enjoying myself while I learn how to crochet. We should do these crochet-alongs or knit-alongs more often! Here are a couple of pictures of the squares. Thanks for everyone's support! I would especially like to thank my husband who very patiently watched me struggle with the granny square, and then jumped in to help me! That was very sweet of him. He took the time to understand the chart and coupled with the video Shandeh posted, he was able to figure it out in no time. After every round, he verified my work and gave it a go-ahead or no-go ;).
