anyway i got soo stuck i dont understand the foundation row. ;(

i'm self taught and am just getting into using patterns instead of youtube vids. :( this is my first pattern thats stumped me even though its for a beginner!

anyone have any idea what i'm supposed to do !?!?

Sorry I have absolutely no idea. Wish I could help, good luck.

damnit why doesnt this forum have an arts and crafts area!!!

um....Queen's Bishop to Black King's Knight 4

well geeze if you can find the help i would be interested in joining in, as i cant follow a pattern but i can do my own.

i have been crocheting sense i was about 13
but a pattern i cant follow unless someone shows me

someone awhile back gave me a link to youtube showing the patterns,. i dont have that anymore though

I would like to help you, but in order to see the whole pattern I would have to sign up, and frankly, I have no notion of doing so.

And I would have to see the pattern since I know the names of stitches only in German.

Sorry.

i can shoot you the pattern in email if you can help me! i have it saved as a pdf on my pc.

What is it you do not understand about the foundation row?

You have mail.

and i can suggest two awesome peoples on youtube that can show you patterns in real time. one is threadbangers a DIY channel that does everything. you just gotta hunt down the crocheted stuff and the other is tjw1963 or also known as the art of crochet.

:) check them out. they taught me how to crochet.

Maybe this would help.

this in specific...

Foundation Row With RS facing and A, skip first 20 sc, join with slip st around post of next sc, ch 1, FPsc in same st, FPsc in next 25 sts; turn – 26 sc.

with right side facing what? i'm left handed but i think i was taught to crochet right handed. or maybe i just do it mirrored I'M NOT SURE!

A is refering to the color. i know that much. is says to skip 20 single crochet, join with slip stitch, join around post..

Whats a post!? see this is what happens when you can't afford the classes...

of next single crochet, chain 1, FPSC? i'm thinkin front post single crochet.. so am i supposed to be doing this with a completely seperate ball of yarn? and attaching through slip stitch? as i'm only using one color instead of the three its originally asking (thought it would be easier!!!) i'm lost now. :( and what the hell is a front post single crochet???

and then when the inner visor starts Wrong Side, is this on the foundation row i just did!?!? or is this on the first row of the hat? omg i feel like a dunce. and per wrong side... if it is the foundation stitch thats already on the top of another stitch.. is it the wrong side of the original stitch!?

its bad isnt it...

Post could be referring to the treble of the previous row, as for RS (right side) could mean right side facing you.

i got a wild hair over this and flipped.

then looked on youtube and someone had a vid posting showing how its done. duh. should have checked their first before panicking. LOL!

thank you for your help!

I like crafts but I can't read the patterns; look like algebra formulas to me. I probably have some patterns around somewhere if you want some.

Have about a bizillion cross stitch patterns,

i love crochet and am learning as i go. i've been goofin with it on my own for probably... a year now.. *not including time with the nifty knitter)

but this last week was my first week messin with patterns. i'd watched so many vids on youtube that i started to understand the patterns as if they were being read to me out loud.

Socks I have no crochet help but if you want to go to vegas at the end of sept I should be driving right by your way...

Send me and email and tell me where. I will be going through my storage the next couple weeks.

LOL if i have the cashola... i might just take a carfull of girls and meet you there. LOL

okay i'm goin to bed. thanks for your help everyone!! :p
