Thanks for the comment Brynn!

I'll look into it. I actually have a chart for this, I just lost it to a very nasty flood.

Brynn on June 26, 2013:

I'm not sure exactly what it is, but something about this pattern isn't right. While the earring is beautiful, the math for the pattern doesn't add up. Not sure if a section was missed.... it also seems that in some sections a stitch is marked as a dc when it should be a tc and vice versa. Really wish there was a chart for this one, because the end result is absolutely gorgeous

Wish you had the chart for this one, there was definitely an error in it. I think it was missing the last section in the second round. It's alright I'll be able to figure it out, but others might not.

Thanks so much for these wonderful tutorials.

It wasn't that awful where I lived. We're all okay now, everything is back to normal. There were a lot of help. It wasn't really that difficult (since my husband did all the cleaning, lol!)

Thanks for leaving a comment.
