I think you explained...I LOVE the crochet symbols. I think you explained this, but it is so much easier to understand the long stitches like treble and double treble with the symbols. The hatch marks on the post of the symbol indicate how many times you wrap your thread on the hook at the beginning of that stitch. It's just fantastic! <BR/><BR/>If I forget how many chains to do at the beginning of a round or row, I just count the chains on the chart. Also it is way easier to find your place on the charts. I'm forever getting mixed up with traditional instructions.IamSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477300247354661564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20658369.post-42436403135668571352008-09-10T13:17:00.000-04:002008-09-10T13:17:00.000-04:00I think someone needs to come up with a personalit...I think someone needs to come up with a personality test to go along with crochet symbol preference. I want to say scientists and engineers tend to prefer symbols (counting myself among this group), but that's too broad a statement and it also ignores those folks who wrote theses on Edith Wharton's portrayal of impoverished women (because I'm sure some of them love symbols too).<BR/><BR/>But then again, knitting symbols always confuse me.Marikkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707031086261579825noreply@blogger.com
