Cotton Candy

Cotton Candy Throw


I named my newest crochet project...

 {{ COTTON CANDY }}


Oh, remember when I said my first pink rows weren't lining up correctly for the "hills" and "valleys" (first blogged about here)?  

I decided to do another practice piece to see how they should line up.  After studying the 2nd practice piece I knew I wouldn't be happy continuing as it was...why do all that work when the stitches were wrong.  So, I frogged back to the foundation chain and started over.  I'm so glad I did because now the "hills" and "valleys" are align perfectly. 

One thing I like about the wavy chevron is that it looks good on both sides of the throw.  Lucy's pattern is so neat looking and I like that there isn't the spaces that a more steep zig zag would produce.

It's dark and dreary here today...a perfect day to spend crocheting!

Have a lovely day and thanks for visiting me.

    What a lovely blanket. It's worth frogging and starting again if it would have bothered you forever that the stitches weren't lined up right.

    Sandy sometimes I wonder what you do with all these throws but I imagine it's like my quilts I made they eventually find their way to the right place.

    Lovely Sandy. I love the colours you have chosen too. I would like to give this pattern a try when it is cooler but I find working on this foundation chain thing really difficult. Perhaps I should go for a small granny square throw first, I've done a couple of large ones now. I'm looking forward to the cooler weather so I can get back into learning to crochet.
    Cheers
    Helen

    You did the right thing by starting over. I crochet and I would not be happy if my work was not right. Your blanket is beautiful and well worth the extra effort.
