[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 437089, member: 84"] Janet patterns can be really confusing until you get used to them. But once you get used to them you can make all sorts of things you never dreamed you could make. Honestly though, sometimes even someone experience with it can have issues with a pattern. I started a sweater for the baby the other day.......got half way through and realized when they printed it they left out a big chunk of instructions for the sleeves......what I had looked nothing like what it should have. THAT irks me no end. But it happens. One I'm working on now is off by one stitch, usually takes several rows to notice......that I can fix as it's one stitch and doesn't affect the overall pattern that much except for appearance. It throws off her mock cable stitch so it doesn't line up correctly. If you'd want me to give the dress a shot just send me the link, no sweat. It may be the pattern itself and not you. I've joined the yarn websites like Red Heart ect. That helps some. And I always keep my eye out for patterns at yard sales.......so far around here people seem to be holding on tight to theirs. What really ticks me off is I should have a huge stack of my own patterns that I've collected over the years. I'd never ever toss them out. But I can only find a couple of them......and they're for older kids. The others should be here somewhere, but I haven't found them yet. [/QUOTE]
