Knotting Problems

|

I've spent a portion of the last couple evenings working on this crocheted square -- the pattern says it should come out at 6-7", and that looks to be about right from what I have left to do: this is 5" across:

It's interesting to do this because it's all working in circles, which knitting is very much not (at least garment knitting for flat patterns, which is what I am used to), and also because I have reached a point in the pattern where what I need to do is utterly unintelligible to me, even with my fine references and a couple decent pictures of the square finished. I know I'm just making the transition from circular to square-shaped, but wow, it is terribly confusing, as if the pattern just sort of exploded all over the place. It's tempting to sort of drop it and start another one, planning to figure it out when I have enough started squares for a blanket.

I will eventually just sit down and puzzle it over for a day and then try some things and see if they look right, but I do wish that sometimes, pattern writers would stop trying to be so very brief and just say what they want you to do.
