it's strange you work from the inside out... so start in the middle and go out...one of the reason's to only doing a few rows on this one is I have to take off my glasses to see it and after awhile I need to put my glasses on... the crochet one I usually only do two rows as it's wide or long not sure which but my hands prefer only two rows...
and it looks hard it's not.... counted cross stitch I simply can't do... that is way harder and believe or not this relaxes me.
unfortunately in my opinion this material isn't very cuddly it's a more hang and and look pretty but the one I crochet is wrap up in and totally feel warm and secure
thank you for all your kind words... it strokes the ego and some times that is so needed
