I just finished this! Haven't blocked it yet, but I'm so excited to display and show it off! I see you saying a lot that you "hate your brain too"... But I'm here to say that your brain is amazing, and I'm so thankful that you share it with us. Also, I've tried a couple of other patterns of yours before, but was definitely tripped up on the parts where you ch 3,DC in the beginning of that and then repeat it (like in the skull tree ornaments), so I'm so stoked to try those again now that I understand your stitch work better. I really appreciate the tutorial. Thanks again!
When she's encouraging the slip stiches like "you're gonna do it anywayyy" she reminds me exactly of my best friend, encouraging me to but something I dont need, but desire lol
Love love love this pattern! I think I’ve made 6 so far. Such a wonderful crochet brain you have! I also have a friendly suggestion. For those who don’t enjoy conversation while crocheting, they have a great feature that reads SHOW TRANSCRIPT. This feature allows you to jump ahead. Thanks again 😊
Wow! I am on the last row now - you are a CREATIVE GENIUS! I love this pattern so much. I started with the pattern I purchased last year then happened upon your RUclips video and switched over - needless to say my counts, your counts - just wow! It all worked out. I will definitely be making more of these but I will try one of the many other patterns you have created - I have a big library from you now - Thank you so much! ❤️😃❤️
My child’s taken over my RUclips, I’m not an 8 year old crochet prodigy! 😂 As someone else said, the way you get to talking about what’s on your mind made it slightly difficult to follow, but I loved your stories! Love this doily, thank you so much for sharing with us! I also suffer from Lupus, Systemic and Nephritis. You gained a fan today, I look forward to more patterns of yours. 💜💜💜
Thanks to your great explanation, I managed to finish this uniquely beautiful pattern with absolutely no errors. And now I am absolutely happy and satisfied. :-) Thank you so much! Personally, if there was something I would like to see on your channel, it would be a crochet piece with a bat motif. ^°°^ Oh, that would be a new challenge and I would really enjoy it! Warmest greetings from Austria!
I very much appreciate the video. I bought the pattern but it was difficult for me to follow so I'm glad to have found this. But I will say that from 1:00:00 on was a nightmare for me. Following along the video to a T, I ran into issues. Visually, what I had was different from what you had and doing the chain 5, backpost dc, etc. as I didn't hit that first corner as soon as you did. I had two more posts on the left side so I guess somewhere at the 'base', I did something wrong that I required more. Either way, wound up being frustrating but I just powered through it anyway. Didn't look as great but it's done. LOL.
I am so grateful for your videos! One suggestion, though, is for newer people or the A.D.D's can you demonstrate like three or so of the stitches next time before going to the pause screen, please? Hearing you say it and seeing you do it is two different things for me.
I love this pattern so much! One question tho, when you're working the 27 back post stitches, you start off with one at the corner and tell us to work 27 more, but at the end you finish off by doing the 27th. Is it 27 or 28 back post stitches?
@@creativeworksbyannie Thank you so much for this response! I had the same question. Also, when we make the V stitches at the bottom corner, should those count as BPDCs too? So, should it be 51 bpdc + 1 bpdc, ch2, 1 bpdc + 18 bpdc (so 52bpdc, ch2, 19bpdc total for that portion)? Or should it be 51 bpdc, ch2, 18 bpdc (i.e., the bpdc's around the ch2 count towards the 51 and 18 bpdc totals)? Thank you Annie, I look forward to continuing this awesome project.
I make it in two days, but change a stile and make it oval - Like, it's only skeleton and around is last 3 round lace pattern. I'm content ❤ thank you and will Do other beauties from you.
Hi Annie, been loving this project but I have a question, on the row 6, on the written pattern it says 30 chain spaces, I've been following the video and changing some stuff on the written pattern like you mention in the video, in the video you mention 27 chain spaces but I count 28, on my project and even on your video, is this a typo or am I just slightly going insane? Even at the 52:49 minutes you mention 11 chain spaces but i count 12 :D help please?
@@inesmorais101 shhhhhh.... good eyes, if you can skip a st to get the 27 and 11, it will be much easier later. It's one of the should a, could a, would a thing going.
I love this pattern I purchased it and now following along. However, row 6 is a pill so hard I have pulled out and restarted a ton of time. Ugh please help
That round trips people up. I hate my brain too. The best thing to do is to follow the photos and forget the words of the pattern. Line up the red dots with the bpdc and line up the regular dc with the rest. You are just setting yourself up for round 7, so don't worry about fudging a bit, it won't matter. And remember !! Only you will know you fudged a bit and later you will even forget.
Hello, thank you for this pattern, I am so enjoying learning to crochet! I am stuck on Round 2 of the skeletons casket, I have pulled it out twice because I only have 45 bpdc and the pattern calls for 51bpdc. Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong? ( I am using your most recent update to Rnd 2. I would be grateful for any guidance. Thank you 🙏
If you would not mind sending me a message with a photo I may be able to assist better. Otherwise you may need to check round 1. Here are the links to were to send a photo.... facebook.com/WanamakerArt instagram.com/creativeworksbyannie
i love this pattern, i am trying it for th first time with acrylic, which... i don't really like for now.i will be stretching it at the end and try to mak it look better. next time i will puchase cotton. what size hook are you using?
I’m struggling with row B and C of the written pattern. Everything seems to add up until I reach the first “corner”. If I skip 8 stitches, do the 2dc 1dc 2dc corner and then I skip the 9 stitches for the next set of 5dcs it doesn’t really line up with the dc in round 4 at all. I know we can just line it up but I really want to stitch count to be accurate and look right. I already redid the round with 2 dc in each chain space so I don’t think thats the issue but the math aint mathing. The worst part is that the picture make sense so I know its just me but Im so frustrated right now 😭
Annie, this is such an amazing design! I bought the pattern and have been following along to your videos, which are so helpful and charming. Thanks for sharing all your tips and tricks! I ran into a problem, though: how do you finish off round 3 of the border? You did 13 DC at the top of the coffin, then did you connect it with a slip stitch? And then how did you get to the corner chain space for round 4? Would be so so grateful for a hint :)
I have the same problem, I don't know if I should begin crocheting from the end of the row since I am two stitches behind her in row 3. How did you manage to solve it?
i know some people that are interested in your work, where can they buy it ? they dont want to create it, how much would it be ? oh and have you ever tried to make it bigger ? like a huge one for a long table.
l'm using #4cotton with a 5mm hook and before the boarder it is 20 inches long and 7 inches at it's widest point l was thinking of making pj pants with the skeletons being at the front and back of the legs maybe three making the leg with alot of filling in
Thanks Anna for all you do. Despite having fudged my way through this a couple of times previously, I'm making another, I messaged you on ravelry about round two (pattern says 13 bpdc at the end and I only had 12) and you kindly pointed me to this video. I frogged back to the end of round 1 which is exactly right according to the written pattern (I've quadruple checked), but now on round 2 when you say 27 that takes me to the 4th stitch in the first cluster of 5. Round 1 that I'm stitching into is correct to the written pattern (14dc 9bpc), so round 2 this takes me to 23 so I need to use 4 of the 5 cluster to get up to 27) but you're finishing the 27 on the 3rd stitch of the cluster of 5...what am I doing wrong?! 😂
I am sorry that the video was so delayed. I had a woman try to steal the pattern as her own and had issues with sharing it this way. I was very protective more than i should of this pattern. But I am glad you found it now
@@creativeworksbyannie no no u have every right to protect your pattern!! and it’s still good that i bought it so i could support you! i think it’s one of my favorite patterns
Sure did! I did the "coffin" part of the exterior in black and the more floral outter portion in red. I had to modify the pattern for cleaner color changes. It can be done
l used thicker cotton and 5mm hook so without the boarder it is 20 inches long ,it looks great would you mind if l turned mine into pyjama pants if l ever post them finished l would mention the skeleton is your pattern?
Totally !! And send me a photo if you can I would love to see it. All my links are in my bio. I have had this pattern put on dresses, t-shirts (full crochet piece), wooden boxes, jackets and possibly more. Its fantastic for that !
great thank you l didn't want to be a closet cool skeleton pj pants wearer, l only did one row of your border in blood red and it is looking awesome@@creativeworksbyannie

I ended up with a different stitch count too. Ended having to wing it on some of the part 2 video.
Yeah, my stitch count isn’t adding up and it’s really frustrating the perfectionist in me.

The printable pattern may be a wonderful helpful to have by your side to help with this as the video is just an aid to help with the printable.

ending with a ch1, sl st into top of beg st.

Its the trickiest part of the pattern. If you look at more of the photos instead of the written and crochet it by eye it may help more.

Give me just a bit and I will message you from your original message to me and I will try to help you better.
I'm having the same issue with the 27 bsdc ending in the same place. Can I ask how you corrected it!?
Did you block it with water or did you do a different way to block?
I have a video on it. I block dry, but then use a spray bottle to dampen it. Let it dry and it's all set.
where was this before i bought the written pattern that idk how to read well 😔
I am sorry that the video was so delayed. I had a woman try to steal the pattern as her own and had issues with sharing it this way. I was very protective more than i should of this pattern. But I am glad you found it now

Thank your for the CAL thou ❤
Its to stabilize the shape of it. But yes they are evil !!

Has anybody switched colors to do the border?
Sure did! I did the "coffin" part of the exterior in black and the more floral outter portion in red. I had to modify the pattern for cleaner color changes. It can be done
