I cannot seem to follow patterns the way the writer directs
Last night I realized I couldn't understand a 4 page Vickery celtic Xstitch pattern and certainly couldn't do it in quads...so have counted out the total stitches-lined the space and divided it in pale gray floss and am working the whole crowns and center strips at one time rather than broken down...
My honey says I need to "learn to do it right"....hmmmm been doing this since I was 7, am 58 now, maybe its "just too late" or just maybe its the fault of being born left handed and right brained?
Anyone else struggle? Is this normal? or should this not be owned up to, in which case I will cheerfully keep my mouth shut....:)
But if there is a trick, and hint, a suggestion that would simplify the difficult patterns I would love the advice.
