Am I Crazy?
 
Hi all!

Have finished a cape cod afghan ( well except for tying the tripple knot
fringe - have to clear the kitchen table for that).

Here's what prompted my question. Started and working on 1) a runner in the
jubilee pattern, 2) my first filet crochet - the good shephard pattern, 3)
another cape cod afghan - light pink this time and 4) converting a graph to
written pattern for a 70 x 90 filet tablecloth.

I repeat my question - am I crazy?

Any day you can sit up and take nourishment
is a good day, anything beyond that is a bonus.

Why? The last time I tried filet crochet I found the chart MUCH
easier to work from.

No, you're just like the rest of us - too many projects, too little
time.

Hi!
I live in a little town called Haapajärvi aka Aspenlake in English. This
little town is near Oulu.

And I do not think you are crazy. Just let that hook of yours fly.

Hi from me, too!

I agree with Wooly's question of ... why go to such trouble to convert
the graph pattern to written for the filet crochet? I, too, have done
a lot of filet crochet (my favorite!!) and always found the chart MUCH
easier to follow than any written instruction. You can also very
easily change the pattern on the chart to your own personal liking, add
to it (like your name and date or an inscription or whatever), and I've
never lost my place with a chart.

All the best with your projects! Post pics if you can ... we all love
seeing everybody's stuff. :o)
