I really enjoy tackling challenging projects…
I was still having issues crocheting the double double treble group, so I looked at the scarf on the patten test, and figured out a few things I was doing wrong. Also helpful, was revisiting Sarah’s pattern testing post. I remembered that she had done small swatch, for another pattern tester, and so I flipped pages until I found her sample. Ding! Ding! After viewing her practice swatch, I saw what else I doing incorrectly.

I figured out that the stitches are connected at the top, but I forgot an important step, I need to connect at the bottom too! Many thanks to Sarah, for commenting on my latest post, to offer additional tips. I really appreciated that.
I’ve stopped working on the scarf today, it’s time to hang out with my daughter a bit more before it’s her bedtime. However, after work tomorrow, I’ll use the knowledge I’ve learned with my practice swatch, and apply it too the actual scarf. I figured it was wise to work on a practice swatch, until I realized my errors since I didn’t want to keep wrecking my lovely yarn.
When it comes to hand crafts, I’m a visual person, with some techniques I’m fine reading and applying, but with complicated stitches videos or photos are very helpful.
Mistakes happen… learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward.
I admire your patience. My missus had many abandoned “projects” when she was very much into this hobby – not anymore. I guess she has lost interest altogether.

Thanks @suituapui, I remind myself that some things won’t come easy, certain things will take practice before you get it right.

I’ve had to redo stitches numerous times to figure the longer stitches out too.
