This will proably take me as long as the last thing I made! But I'm game for trying it. I am making the cover pattern on the Crochet Me book I bought a while back. I am using a Bernat Satin yarn in a darker blue than shows on the cover.

Has anybody made that pattern, and do you know if there is any errata to be found on it?

Wow, looks like a lot of work. You have my best wishes!

The pattern stitch is pretty easy. The measurements are tricky though, cause I used the small for the gauge and the beginning of the back. Now I am on the arms and I added stitches for medium so it won't be so snug on the arms. The Bernat Satin is very nice to work with. I have had to adjust my light source since my couch is not in the same place since we rearranged the furniture. I was used to working with the light from the window, but now I have no window! LOL! So, the lighting plays a bigger part in being able to see the BLO and FLO to make the next row.

Well, I had to give this up. I was about half way through and for the life of me I can't figure out how on earth it is going to end up a sweater. I do believe this is just beyond my expertise. So, now what am I am making? Yeah, the old stand by, a baby blanket! http://www.anniesattic.com/crochet/detail.html?prod_id=21940

Sorry you quit your sweater..
But the baby blanket pattern is beautiful..

Sorry to hear about the sweater . . .

The baby blanket pattern is very nice though.

TX CrochetLover

Yep, I just couldn't do the sweater. Oh well. I tried! On this baby blanket pattern, you use a chart and you have to finish off at the end of each row. It calls for leaving 6 inches for fringe. But seeing as how I don't like fringe I am weaving in the ends. I have to get busy on this as I think I will need it for a shower in late April. I worked on it a little at the getaway, but haven't touched it this week at all! LOL!

Miss Kitty

You are going to have a lot of weaving to do! At the end of every row?!?
