I'm not offended. Didn't mean to imply she should stop counting. Just meant when she got the pattern established really well she could better see what was happening. Can NEVER stop counting. Not my most fav thing to do, but have to. Did you get the angel pattern enlarged and printed? I got it bigger than the one I sent you and will send a copy of this one if you want it. Hugs!

These ladies all have been crocheting a long time. When you are making a ripple, whether the pattern is sc or dc, you MUST count on a ripple. Trule you count on most all crochet, but especially a ripple. Pay attention to the end of your row. If you are not careful, you will drop that last stitch & your ends will get wonky. If you have counted, you will not miss it because your count will remind you to find the last stitch instead of missing it. I hope this is making some sense & will help.
Hugs, Jane

MagnoliaBlossom, no I didn't get the angel pattern in a size that I can read without a magnifying glass. I love to tease and I never want anyone to take me too seriously. Judy and I LOVE to tease each other but we both like it and can take it. So if I say something that doesn't seem right just tell me and I will not do it again and apologise.

What are you apologising for? I said ya'll have been crocheting a long time so that your advice to count ,count, count, would mean something. Sweet Lady. Ya'll haven't said a word to be apologising for.
Hugs & Love, Jane

Yep. Count, Count, Count, and mark, mark, mark. Otherwise, you'll be frogging it! Like I had to do! Frogging teaches you fast to count. Love it! Landon has a good idea in marking the end of your rows.
Hugs, Judy
