I’m such a fail.
Literally, as soon as I look at a pattern, I’m already making changes/substitutions. Like for this bag:
- “22 rows of sc”? not enough. I’ll do 32.
- “ch 3, slip st to form a ring, 2 sc in each st. (6 st)” No. I’m just doing 6 st in a magic ring. Much easier/cleaner.
- “Stuff handles as you work”? Why would I want the handles stuffed? Scrap that idea.
And I’m not even that great of a crocheter.. lol.
I have to disagree that this poster is a fail. She is a WIN! Once you know there are better ways to do things (ie: the glorious magic ring), why would you go back to the other ways? Part of the fun of crochet is making the pattern or the project your own.
When have you modified a pattern to great success?
