I started my Tree of Life project over this past weekend, but I noticed that the printed square pattern and the written directions do not match up. Is it me or is there an extra 4 stitches in there? SYD

I have heard also of veterinarians using the size 7 crochet hooks in spaying show-quality cats. It dramatically decreases the size of the incision, which decreases scarring, and probably healing time, I would imagine.
Umm, yeah, I’m gonna stick to yarn….
