This new format was a nice surprise for me today. I usually read the Crochet me blog through my rss reader (just lazy). I'm not new to crochet, but I am new to any forum for crochet fans/addicts/fanatics.

I am a self-taught crocheter and I graduated from scarves and slippers a few years ago after a break from my hooks. I tend to waffle back and forth from cross stitch to Knifty Knitter to crochet and back. I started to take on more challenging crochet projects last year. By challenging, I mean anything that's not slippers or scarves. I have made as many afghans as I think I (or anyone else I know) will need for a while and I'm on to sweaters etc.

My current project is the Sera Lace Top from the current edition of Interveave Crochet which I happened upon in my local grocery store last week. Whoa!!!!! What a great magazine!

I'm looking forward to seeing what other people are working on as well as learning some new tips and tricks from you more experienced folks.

Hi Kim,

I look forward to talking crochet with you in the future.
I'm experimenting with different stitch techniques after mastering the basics. Is Interveave Crochet a mag in the US?

Hi Kim,
I am currently working on the Sera Lace Top. It is beautiful but I am having a hard time with the pattern. Probably just my inexperience. I am a self-taught crocheter too. Did you ever finish yours?? Maybe you could help me? I am just finishing up the top portion of the sweater. On page 18 of Interweave, second paragraph down. The directions say, "Work Rnds 2-4 of est patt once more." I was totally confused by this since what I just finished was rnds 4-12, which was to repeat rnds 2-3 four times, then do rnd 2 one more time. Do I just do rnd 3 one more time?
Then in the same paragraph it keeps referring to the next corner ch-5. If I am understanding the pattern correctly, (which I obviously am not) the corner spaces are ch-2 spaces.
Arrgh! I am so confused. :o(
