hey!
Thanks for the awesome pattern, but I am having a ton of trouble with this loop stitch...and the link doesn't appear to be working. Is the stitch supposed to be attatched to the scarft, or is it supposed to hang off? Because when I do it, it isn't attatched. I have something that looks like a sc with a big loop on the bottom, but it's not attatched to the scarf.
Thanks for the help! | |

Thanks Dot for posting this pattern.
I just love this scarf. I will do it as soon as I finish the cardigan. I wish I were an octopus so that I could do several projects at once...he he.
Take care...and hugs to Spike.
P.S. Thanks for clearing up that thing about holding the loop and not the finger...LOL...you can only guess what I would have done. LOL | |
