This is my first clothing item and I really am excited about it. I’m about 10 inches into the 20 in” and all is going better that I expected. I had a bit of a problem at the start. I decided to use Vanna’s Choice in Navy and my mind is already swimming with ideas to do this in a different stitch at a later time. Thanks for the great pattern!!!!

I hope I’m not the only one still looking back at this post, but I’ve got a question about the swatching. When I crochet my gauge swatch, I have holes where I skip the first hdc (according to the instructions). I noticed that the one pictured doesn’t. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks!

Jackie: how cool is it that we are using the same yarn? No, you don’t have to do anything else to join the CAL – just make sure to read all of Kendra’s postings, and they should all be somewhere on this blog. Confession: I have never blogged either, and I am four decades and counting…. Anyway, I’m so happy you’re here, from Jacqueline from SoCal. P.S. My last initial is also “B”

Hi Jacqueline, That’s my name too!
I just now for the first time came to the blogs and viewed your message first; but the real neat thing was that I am beginning just now crocheting the beach cover-up and I am also using Heather Grey Wool-Ease!
Do I need to do anything else to join the crochet-along? I’ve never even blogged before.
It was nice seeing a familiar name. Anyway, this is Jackie B from Richmond, Va. God Bless and take care.

Hi, novice Jacqueline from SoCal on a beautiful Spring day. I am using heather gray Wool-Ease sport weight (4), which calls for J-10, and the stitch gauge for 11 hdc = 4″ is right on, but I needed 2 extra rows (10) to make more than 4″ and end on a RS row, but I’m tall so a “bit more” is no big deal. This is my second attempt, since I started with an acrylic without checking gauge – my bad – and learned my lesson. Also, my rss feed not working and missed all of your great postings! Wish I had had your input during the “dark days” of crochet chaos. Best of luck to us all!

This is my first crochet along! I am so excited and have been working on it as much as I can. I have worked up to 20 inches, and am now on the shaping of the arm hole. I am confused on how to keep going, the pattern doesn’t specify what to do excatly when you turn, can’t wait for the videos of the no-chain foundation, I have never done that before.

Can anyone tell me why the no chain foundation is important? Because the pattern doesn’t say anything about it. I know how to do it, but I was just wondering why we are talking about it. Thanks!!

Zontee says: Hi Marissa, it’s just another way to start your project, and talking about it here is a good way for people who haven’t done it before to learn how to do it. Of course, you’re always free to use a regular chain if you prefer. Enjoy the CAL!
