Don't mind me, I was dropped on my head or something as a child. Anyhoo, my favorite crochet pattern is "The Sweater". I usually get inspired by some crochet project I see and then get inspired to 'modify' it somewhat (read: alot). My modifications usually stem from the fact that there isn't much nice plus size crochet around (cause I'm overweight and therefore am not allowed to be fashionable or something) or I don't like the color, the stitch, the buttons...you get the idea.
And I can't follow a pattern to save my life, so I improvise. Seriously, chain 366, turn, sc in first 5 chains, blah blah blah blah....aaaaargh! NO! Give me a chart or don't bother. Ever read one of those 1800's the queen's crochet book that have a tiny font and pages of short hand instructions to make some super snazzy (for the 1800's) bed jacket (really? they wore jackets to go to bed?)..HAHAHAHA! Me neither.
So, i just do whatever. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
