crochet pumpkin gone mad - HELP!

[Red Rock]

Salsa:

That was the mistake I figured out from the video. I have been reading the instructions pretty carefully as well. I am using row markers so I know where "start" begins otherwise I would never remember especially the way it looks now. That is why I am waiting this one out a bit.

Let it percolate for a bit and do a different one. And if it's any comfort, I've done the "whee, I've got it right---damn, I have to rip it out and start all over" thing more than once. More than twice, even.

Oh my goodness - this is exactly why I never have wanted to crochet or knit. Carol!

I thought the first one was a really pretty flower, but I'm just so impressed by CA's sample of it (and you had orange yarn handy, too!). How lovely.

My last attempt at crocheting was a hat for my daughter. I measured her head carefully, but it still turned out too small. It looked pretty, but man, it was one loooooooooong chain stitch. That's the only one I know how to do. Ha!

I look forward to seeing the finished pumpki-lichen.

Artists would say that RedRock has committed a happy accident and that she should remember this when she wants to make oysters, or flowers..

I'd love to know what she was doing too - I do some free-form crochet, and that would be lovely to add in (on) a piece It is lovely

I actually had a little bit of yarn left from the (knitted) felted pumpkin basket I made last year.
