[Lovette Yewchan]

Okay I think I am going into the right stitch but most of the time the rows are shrinking.
Could it have to do with the chaining when starting a row?
How many again and I seem to hear comflicting things about when to chain and how many either before or after turning work?
Thanks.
Yes learning a lot!
