Hi Breann, for rows 2 and 3, does it matter if row 2 starts TFS in the first space as in the video tutorial? Or should I stick to the pattern and start row 2 TFS in the second space?
Really enjoying this CAL, thank you. Susan
Hi! No, it doesn’t matter as long as you alternate. Didn’t even realize I did it the opposite way! Sorry! :/
Hi Breann. I think my purse are a bit loose, so .I am just using 35 stitches to give the same width.
This is the most Tunisian crochet I have ever tried. Week 2chas been hardest with much muttering and undoing. I can now cope. Videos are great thanks
