I'll be posting an update soon. :)<br /><br />For great yarn, take a look at Deramores in the UK. They ship to the US free if you order $50 or more. Use the code RAV2013 for 10% off. I'm using the Stylecraft Special DK, color pack of 17 for my mixed stripes. It's is a good, inexpensive, lightweight, acrylic yarn. (Less than $3 per skein.) The pack of 17 colors were chosen by Lucy of Attic 24. (If you haven't checked out her blog, you should!) She's in my favorites in the right column.

Thanks so much for your post with the pics- ...Yay!! Thanks so much for your post with the pics- so very, very generous of you! You definitely make it seem much more doable - can't wait to give it a try when I get to that section again! I'm making progress- just finishing up my second ripple section now. Just wish I could find the amazing colors those girls across the pond seem to be able to get their hands on that don't cost an arm and a leg!<br /><br />Love what a small world it - we actually live in NKY near the airport, but I'm originally a Virginia girl myself. We've been happy for the couple of years that we've been here though. <br /><br />Thanks again- I'm going to go pin your post for easy access, and I'm sure it'll be able to help others working on our project!pinkadotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493029713247071765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-687709375187622359.post-80906001344233085472013-01-13T14:05:20.633-05:002013-01-13T14:05:20.633-05:00Happy to try and help!

The second row of turquoise finishes the pattern, creating the straight line across the top, and filling in between the green clusters, to give that outline effect. So, across the top of each cluster, we have the single crochets. Between the clusters, you have to reach down to the first row of the pattern (in my case turquoise row) with the triples - encasing the yarn in between that connects each of the clusters. <br /><br />Let me know if that helps. I will try to post some pictures later. <br /><br />Thanks for making the Cincinnati connection! I grew up on the west side (Mercy girl), but my husband was from Deer Park, and we lived on the east side for a number of years before moving to Toledo. I still have family and friends in Cinti. It's a great city. :) Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571536533438844996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-687709375187622359.post-14373046415386757002013-01-12T21:05:12.982-05:002013-01-12T21:05:12.982-05:00So glad to have found someone else doing the Littl...So glad to have found someone else doing the Little Woolie crochet along! I started over Christmas (and too funny- saw in your profile that you have Cincy connections-that's where I live!) Feeling your pain on the ripping out- I initially chained too tightly, and just don't have the heart to redo it! Advice, because it doesn't look like Jules gets to return comments too often....how in the world did you do the outline cluster? I'm fine with the actual cluster, but she wasn't at all detailed about the outline. I can't for the life of me get the "2trtog into center skipped stitch". I'd love any help! Thanks, and good luck!pinkadotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493029713247071765noreply@blogger.com
