    crochet motifs in 9/13/14 newsletter

    When following the link for the crochet motifs, I found the directions were written in another language. Where and/or how do I find the directions in English? I've come across several other patterns for different items with directions in another language also. How in the world do you make the item if you can't read the directions?

    Thank you,

    You should have an app on your computer that will translate. If not, go to Google and inquire.

    Thank you,
    Most crochet patterns from Japan, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, France, Germany and Italy don't use text only instructions. Most use diagrams.

    If you use google-translate to translate text patterns you'll usually just get gibberish anyways and not be able to follow them.

    Following diagrams is not difficult if you've been taught how to do it.

    On October 22, 2014, my online class for reading diagrams will be available on Craftsy.com. When it launches, I will be able to give away 50%-off inscription codes to whomever is interested. If you want to read about my experiences getting filmed for my Craftsy.com class, please read my blog post about it.
