[Nfb-krafters-korner] help interpreting crochet instructions

Tue Jul 17 20:23:14 UTC 2012

I bought 2 of the pink and white and 2 of the red and white.  I think the red and white was named after a cardinal.  Sure is pretty stuff!
Where did you find the necklace patern?  We did not see any paterns on the labels.  All I know is that you can brade and knot it.
I do not think there was as much veriety.  It was at the door with the sale stuff.

Yeah, one might call it pinstripes. It is Martha Stewart Mambo and they all have animal names. Let's see, Lion Brand describes Zebra, which is the yarn I bought, as black with white binder. Sea turtle, for instance, is described as seafoam green with black binder.
