So it looks like Mr. Crab will have to rest for now.... Something is seriously wrong with the pattern... I'm trying to get a hold of someone from Crochet Today magazine so I can get the "correct" pattern. I'm having a problem with that too. I'm not sure if I will ever get the correct pattern.... The next issue of this magazine comes out in September....Maybe late August... I'm a little upset.... I really want to finish Mr. Crab...
All of the pieces to the crab are the right size, so I know it's not my gauge that the problem. But I knew something was wrong when I'm half way through two skeins of yarn and I'm not even 1/4 done with the pattern, and I still have another claw to make.
grr.... You would think that a crochet magazine would have testers... or something....
I just want to cry...
I can't believe I'm this upset over a crab crochet pattern. It's pathetic.
What happened? Did they specify the wrong number of skeins, or is the whole pattern wonky? I am sorry about mr. Crab. I am sure you will sculpt it out!
ReplyDeleteThe part of the pattern for Mr. Crab's arms is wrong. At the rate I'm going it would take 4 skeins to make both of his arms and I estimate they would be 3 foot long.. They're only suppose to be 23 inches. I was on row 76 out of 129 rows and Mr. Crab's arm measured 30 inches.. I think they added some extra rows accidentally. I'm a little bummed that I spent all that time crocheting and it was wrong. :( I'm sure I can figure something out, otherwise I will have to sit and wait for corrections...
ReplyDeleteHoly moly! Thats wonky...
