I'm glad you like them Libby! It was a fun swap
what I've been reading on different sites is that you can use a regular hook for small things, like if you were making multiple squares then joining them, or a long scarf. But not for blankets, because of how much longer you need the hook to be. If you want to go ahead and give it a try anyway with a regular hook, here is a good idea for using a regular hook

otherwise I'd suggest just ordering one or finding one at walmart/joanns/etc. They aren't more than a few bucks.
Do you have a link for the pattern?
Also have you been on Ravelry.com to look for a similar blanket pattern that uses a regular hook? Its an awesome site for just crochet/knitting patterns, and most of them are free.
Getting mine finished to mail out by this weekend
Aww thanks Krista! I know how hard and crazy patterns can be to read especially when they aren't published patterns, but just ones someone made up and wrote them selves, lol. I have had to push my way through enough patterns now, that I can pretty much figure it out ^_^
I got mine from Julie today I really love the fabric on the pincushion!
Oooooookay- I think I figured it out. I had to actually pull our some yarn and try it out to see what they were talking about. Here is how it goes
SHE SAYS- [what I say will be in these brackets]
Head (make 1)
Round 1 In yellow,
ch 6, 1 sc in second stitch from hook, [Ch 6, work 1 SC in the 2nd Stitch from your hook]
3 sc, [work 1 SC in the NEXT 3 Stitches]
3 sc in last stitch from starting chain, [Work 3 SC in the last Stitch or your starting chain]
working along in the opposite side, You will now be working in a circle, so your next Stitch will worked into the unused site of the foundation chain]
3 sc, work 1 SC in the NEXT 3 stitches ]
2 sc in next st, [work 2 SC in the last unused stitch] [now you should have a little oval shape]
using the stitch marker to mark the first stitch of the next round [Place a stitch marker, such as a safety pin in the next stitch, the one that you would normally slip stitch into to close this round. But done slip stitch because you're just working in continuous rounds. Keep moving the stitch marker are you complete rounds]
---12 sts [before moving on to the next round, count backwards from your hook, you should only have 12 stitches]
I hope that helps, if not let me know and I can try and break it down further, or maybe take pictures. I think this pattern was written for people who are extremely proficient in reading patterns and working in the round :S
Fear not! I am on it lol I saw your post a few days ago, but keep forgetting to go and actually read the pattern, but I will do that now. (I crochet a lot, and have made a few animals too)
Well I never got around to messaging anyone about starting a new Newbie swap, which is a good thing since they fired someone at work, and now I'm covering a lot. SO I can't so a swap right now, which is lame because I like swaps, but good because I like money, lol.
OK Monica, you can cancel my 2 Newbie swaps, because I haven't heard from anyone :S
Ok thanks Krista, I'll add you to the list
Have you seen any chibi pics of the character? That would help a lot, or what's the character name? I could make a plushie of it if we could find a pic or plushie that's already chibi style.
UPDATE on my 2 swaps-
I saw that Jen posted a teaser pic, but I haven't actually heard from her in a long time. I messaged her on march 9th when we were supposed to mail out but never got a reply. We haven't exchanged addresses though.
Also I haven't heard from Danielle M. either :S I sent her a massage on the 9th too, even though we weren't sending out until the march 16th.
I am ready to send out to both of them if I get a response, but of course I'll wait until I get their part of the swap 1st like the Vets usually do.
Here is a teaser for Libby in our little 3 way swap
