I don't think so, that's one of the spots where you are sc in two
spaces in a row without chaining.  Hope this helps, KrisR

I found one more correction in the doily pattern.  Round 13, after the "Repeat from * to * 6 times; (3 dc in the next ch 3 sp, ch 2) 8 times," there needs to be a "dc in next ch 2 sp,".

I finished the doily on Friday, I still need to block it.  You can see it on my blog at http://janeshookedoncrochet.blogspot.com/

My daughter has asked me to make her a small doily for her dorm room,  she selected a pattern I've made before, using a different color.  So that will be my next small thread project.  In yarn, I'm making a Tunisian double crochet shawl for the shawl ministry, and practicing my knitting making a scarf in white Homespun.

This is there the 7 spaces come from in round 11:

Are you sure you did both [(dc, ch 3) in each of the ch 3 sps?

Well done!  I was just looking at the crochetmemories site this
morning but didn't realize some were already broken down by weeks.
I really like the heart one for next month.  Love the blog and keep
on truckin, KrisR

I just finished 2 doilies with the first pattern. I made one in white
and one in peach. Can hardly wait for the next pattern.

Hiya!  I haven't started round seven yet, but I think I found what's
wrong, remember I don't have lucid moments very often, lol.  If you
read down in your messgage, you said sc, ch3 in each of the next 4
chain 1 spaces right?  Then right below that you say "in each ch 3
space there is a sc and 3 ch in each space",  so are you working in
the chain 1 space as the pattern says or the ch 3 space?  Might be a
typo or something else but that just jumped out at me.  Good luck
and I'm sure you'll be getting some more expert advice soon, KrisR

Awesome!  I'm so glad you are finding the info useful.  I'm up to
round 6 on the doily, but think I may have to start over, it's wayyy
too tight...heavy sigh.  Catch ya soon and keep on hookin, KrisR

I must be tired tonight because I can't think....

I started crocheting and I think I was doing it wrong so I ripped it
out,I don't want to continue wrong

*(sc,ch 3)in each of the next 4 ch 1 spaces,

which means that in each chain 3 space there is a sc and 3 chains in
each space, a total of 4 loops made.  however that doesn't work
because I can't do the next step

  Then it says (sc,ch2) in next chain 1 space

I don't have a chain 1 space left unless I crocheted to many times
does the last space have only 2 chains instead of 3?

In all of the previous rows there are ch 2 spaces between the next
group of stitches but I don't read that there are any in this row.

  I am sure that I am not making sense?  Could some one please explain
please...thank you

okay - this is an electronic frogging!
after posting pic to group I realized it still didn't lay quite flat
and decided to look at the picture again and there it was -- I skipped
doing round 8 to start the "Y" above pineapple.  When in doubt --
follow directions! as my mom always said.  So I do NOT make any
pattern adjustments per earlier post.

It looks fine to me -- keep in mind that especially with pineapple
patterns, there is a natural distortion that happens as the pattern is
overlarge in the earlier rounds and tightens up as the pineapple loops
are decreased through each round.  I think that is why they intrigue
me -- it always looks better and better as it continues.  Also, the dc
are not locked into the middle stitch of the ch5 loop but will
naturally be centered by the tension of each succeeding round,
provided tension is consistent. I'll post pic too - I'm still having a
bit of a problem with the rounds "cupping". You're doin' good, girl!

And my doily is well underway (thanks to daughter's dance studio time
last night--my time to crochet!) though I was getting rounds too tight
beginning at round 9 and later -- it was beginning to look like a
hat!! Ribbit! Ribbit!  I then restarted from round 9 and added one
chain to shell & one chain between shell and pineapple which again
seemed to be too tight on round 10 - ribbit again!  Round 10 now is ch
3 space in shell and chain 5 before and after pineapple.

Absolutely it will help, but you might want to consider frogging (I
know, I hate that too) and trying a 6 or 7 hook.  Have you worked with
thread before?  Maybe knowing what experiences you have had before can
give us a little more insight.  Good luck and catch ya soon, KrisR

Wonderful!  I haven't gotten past round one yet, stuff keeps popping
up.  I'm so used to my work popping I never thought to use a different
kind of hool, lol.  I work so tight I squeak.  Thanks for the update
and keep on hookin, KrisR

I've gotten a good start on the pineapple doily.  I selected a lemon yellow
#10 thread.  I tend to work very loose and have to go down 1 or 2 hook
sizes, so I'm using a #8.    After switching down to the 8 I had a lot of
problems, with chains and slip stitches especially, the thread kept popping
off the hook.  So I double checked the hook - yep, it's an in-line.  I
really can work faster and with less re-doing of partial stitches if I use a
tapered hook, but don't have one in this size.  I need to replace about 5 of
my steel hooks.  But that has to wait, I just replaced the B -F aluminum
hooks.  Evidently, many many years ago when I was young and starting to
purchase hooks I didn't know about the difference.
I have one very minor correction on the pattern.  At the end of round 4, it
says to slip stitch in top of beginning ch 4, this should be ch 3.

Having fun!  Jane

Howdy!  I am having a really difficult day today and can't seem to
figure out what to do with the pattern issue.  I know I can't post a
pattern online, or copy one I have and post it because of copywrite
issues.  Can we post an internet address and all use that?  Really
stumped and hope you can help, KrisR

http://crochet.about.com/library/blcopyrightguide.htm

Here is a some information on copywrites.  Hope this helps

Howdy to all and hope your day is going well as can be.  I guess the
first problem I'm having is what pattern to do for each subject we
decide to do.  Can we post our favorite pattern from a book/leaflet or
is that copywrite infringement?  Can we even all do a pattern from a
website?  Totally stumped and tia, Kris
