Hi all!
Have finished a cape cod afghan ( well except for tying the tripple knot fringe - have to clear the kitchen table for that).
Here's what prompted my question. Started and working on 1) a runner in the jubilee pattern, 2) my first filet crochet - the good shephard pattern, 3) another cape cod afghan - light pink this time and 4) converting a graph to written pattern for a 70 x 90 filet tablecloth.
I repeat my question - am I crazy?

Why? The last time I tried filet crochet I found the chart MUCH easier to work from.
No, you're just like the rest of us - too many projects, too little time.

Hi! I live in a little town called Haapajärvi aka Aspenlake in English. This little town is near Oulu.
And I do not think you are crazy. Just let that hook of yours fly. Best: Pirjo
Hi from me, too!
I agree with Wooly's question of ... why go to such trouble to convert the graph pattern to written for the filet crochet? I, too, have done a lot of filet crochet (my favorite!!) and always found the chart MUCH easier to follow than any written instruction. You can also very easily change the pattern on the chart to your own personal liking, add to it (like your name and date or an inscription or whatever), and I've never lost my place with a chart.
All the best with your projects! Post pics if you can ... we all love seeing everybody's stuff. :o) Eve
PS .... OH! Nearly forgot! NOOOOOOOO, you're not crazy ..... not unless all of us here are 'cause you sound just like the rest of us!!!!! LOL Eve :o)

Magic wands, I LOVE it! So nicely stated, Mirjam.

I have found over time that I work better from patterns where I can cross out what I've completed. For instance, if a pattern is in motifs, etc., I never start out to make a tablecloth or afghan only 1 or two motifs. Then when it is finished I am always amazed that I accomplished the larger task. Besides, I guess one of the reasons I have at least two projects on the go at a time is that I get bored easily.
