I didn't realize that you knew how to read those crocheting instructions. Very cool!
You have such talent!! I've definitely read all the books too-- once you pick one up, you're doomed! I'm hoping to see the new movie too, but it will probably be awhile...don't want to get run over by teen mobs! ;)
I saw you post on April Draven blog about her pattern being too small, Mine came out small too, like the size of my kids head. Going to Photograph it and take it apart and try yours.
I tried her pattern but had trouble, too. I'll have to try yours!
