@ILuvStAugustineFL dont be sorry because your a beginner!!!!! :) crocheting can be a bit confusing at times and its good to ask questions!!!!! so when doing the catherine wheel stitch you want to make sets of 10 over and over until your project is to its desired length.....then you add 6 more to that then one more for good luck (keep in mind this project does shrink as you go)
hope this helps.....chanel @mikeys helpdesk..... :)
Hey I want to make a blanket for my baby (new born) ...can you suggest me that to start how many chains do I need? so that after it shrinks it fits perfectly? BTW your work is awesome..I really appreciate it :) Thanks
Your work is just beautiful !!!! please i need your help... I have started my pin wheel blanket but its not laying flat like yours. I have watched your demos a thousand and one times and i don't know what i'm doing wrong please help....
Wonderful blankets and afghans you've made, but I wanted to ask what kind of yarn you're using. I wanted to make one for my grandmother, and I was wondering if a softer kind of yarn would work. Usually they hold loosely- would that kind of yarn work or would a firmer one that holds better be needed?
I have some questions. 1st question since the blanket shrinks does it become wider and longer as you continue going up? or will i have to do more chains than 30? to make a queen size how much yard do you think this will take?
About what length did you make the beginning chain on your other Catherine Wheel Stitch afghans? Was trying to figure it out since you said that it shrinks.. Absolutely beautiful work by the way!
About what width did you make the beginning chain on your other Catherine Wheel Stitch afghans? Having trouble judging since you mentioned that it shrinks.. Absolutely beautiful work by the way!
Yea, i was wondering the same thing as far as what size hook are you using. I've watched many of your videos and i never seem to catch the size needle you use.
omg, can i just say you're amazing? your spouse/significant other/family member/pets are very, very lucky! you make asbolutely gorgeous pieces!

It almost shrinks 6 - 12 ". Depending on what you are doing... the longer you make it, the more of the shrinkage.
