Well, I wasn't off to a great start. This is what happens when you combine these three factors, a rookie crocheter, a migraine and starting a project past bedtime.
After taking my med, getting some sleep, and starting fresh in the morning, it is actually looking like a leprosy bandage.
What I have learned with these it to really watch your stitches. It is easy to skip a stitch, which is obviously what was happening the first go round. I also advice you to count your stitches every few rows to make sure you haven't lost any stitches.
I made my bandage with a D hook, No. 10 Aunt Lydia's cotton thread and a starting chain of 24 stitches, which gave me a bandage almost exactly 3" wide. Since everyone crochets a little differently, you may have to adjust yours by a stitch or two.Oh, and I got to try out my new lighted hook, for 50% off at Michael's a couple of weeks ago. I love it!
Happy Hooking,
