realised why i was getting so confused when following the instructions and looking at how to do the stitches with the pictures at the back of the book.
It uses UK terms.
but i thought this was a US book? - look at those patriotic blocks, why else would they be there if it isn't a US-originated book? but this one uses UK spelling and was "conceived produced and designed in London"
must solve this mystery
Google time..
my search on amazon had conflicting answers. sellers saying it US terms, others saying it uses UK terms..
more google..
Turns out there are Two versions of this book published.. UK version and US version
geez. all my panicking over nothing.
So i have the book that uses UK terms., so now i'll have to get used to UK terms again... after being conditioned to US terms - it really does get old, and fast. I'd only been learning about crochet seriously for a couple of days when i learnt about the different crocheting terms and i started getting frustrated and annoyed.
Imperial measurements vs Metric
Spelling!!
and Crochet...
grrr
but anyway
Progress:
