With Daisies all in a row...

[sonnetbird]

Since I don't have to type up the pattern this weekend (yay for Kolibri!!) I may have time to sit and crochet this out with pics, I guess like a tutorial.

Would anyone be interested in seeing the pattern/chart translated into pics??

If there are several of you, I'll do it, otherwise, I've got to stay caught up with my "chores" and stuff ;P   So please be interested!! Just let me know with a yay or nay and I'll make a date with my yarn....

Wow, I've looked that over, and I can't figure it out. I'm hoping the actual pattern has written out instructions??? I can't wait to get it in the mail... I really want to make this afaghan (sp)... I usually make hats, but this really caught my eye. Btw... What size hook did you use to make it??

See my post above, I'll try to get a tut-ish thing done this weekend for clarity. I used an H/8 hook, that's my favorite, and it's what the pattern called for so it worked out nicely. You might have to do a couple of swatches to see what you like.

cool, that's a "yay" for me... Thanks about the hook... I just wanted to make sure I had the right size... LOL... I wanna get started ASAP

A tut would be great, pictures even better!

Oh my gosh there is also a heart design. Perfect for Valentines. Two wonderful designs!  Thank you  Kolibri and Sonnetbird.

Plus a "yay" too.

A Picture tutorial would be just great!

I tried crocheting a small sample using the symbols pattern, and it worked out very nice.

If you'd like I can try to translate the symbols into written directions (If someone else hasn't allready started doing that )?
I haven't tried translating before, but it does't look too hard...

oh, definite yes to pictures and/or a word translation! i'm just learning to read and having a Very hard time. i found mishymishy's picture tutorial on the baby star afghan so helpful, it's here http://www.flickr.com/photos/8645459@N07/sets/72157600301704130/
if you found the time or inclination to actually do something like i'd just be awed and eternally grateful.

Wow,yes from me to.Please.Thanks.

Ok, heres the written instructions for daisy the pattern.

It has been translated from the symbols pattern at the Jessica Tromp page, and I adapted it to look a bit more like Sonnetbird's. I'm not sure directions are exactly the same as those from the mentioned afghan book, but these came from a free pattern site and looks quite the same. (If there are any errors please let me know!)

Happy Crocheting everybody!
