Is this feature working yet? I can't seem to make it work either.
You're very welcome!
Line,
I'm so glad you speak up when you see dogs in carriages!
Those poor dogs probably want
to be running around, but their stupid idiot owners won't let
them!
Anyone can see it's an entirely different thing than cats. Cats are...temperamental. They want things just so. You won't get a cat to move unless it's the cat's idea, and that's why taking one for a walk on a harness is definitely an exercise in futility - no pun intended! LOL.
But a dog doesn't have that desire to sit still for long periods of time. Cats love it. Dogs...well, their impatience is good in other ways.
LOL, that said, I seriously wish our girl would get a bit of energy and decide to really explore, not just lay in various spots close to each other...sniffing. Eating grass. Pulse-pounding excitement! Not.
And I agree, it's ridiculous to carry a dog around when there's no danger. Put the cutie on a harness or whatever, and let it walk! That will make for a far happier dog than carrying him/her around.
The girl was actually carrying her dog around on the beach with nobody else around?! Words cannot express the utter stupidity!
Absolutely not...a sleeping dog can't in any way be considered aggressive. That's crazy. Maybe she was the one afraid of big dogs and projected the aggressiveness onto your dog sleeping! But that's only in her mind, anyway.
I can't imagine...she didn't get her dog used to big dogs beforehand? The mind boggles! You can't leave a dog unprepared for that. What did she expect to do, talk to everyone with a large dog and say, "Get your dog out of here"? Then after that, I guess she wanted to tell people with smaller dogs to get out, so her dog might not be afraid of competition! Sarcasm.
How cool that the other people there laughed at her as you were telling her off...she deserved it!
At least you were the catalyst for the ittle dog no longer being afraid of big dogs, for being socialized with big dogs. Good for you! I'm
sure if that little dog could talk, it would thank you for it not
being afraid of big dogs any more!
I agree that it's a no-brainer to see to it that a little dog isn't terrified of big dogs...particularly if showing or out in public or something. And as for those strollers...leave them for the cats! People can be so idiotic.
Would you be interested in learning beading? Because I'd be happy to teach you. If you like crochet, I think
you'd like beading. It's actually quite relaxing
to weave beads to make a bracelet or a necklace or
something. Handmade bling can be
yours! 
Nothing wrong with you being curious. But then does that make me
the man in the yellow hat? 
LOL.
Hugs,
Melanie

Lesa,
Welcome!
The stitch to
use, if you're in the US, is a single crochet. if you use any other
stitch (such as a double crochet), your graphghan will turn out
skewed. The only exception is if you choose certain stitches, such
as Tunisian, in which case you'd work Tunisian.
The graph is like any other crochet graph, worked side
to side, first on one side, then returning the other
way.
I'm not sure what you're referring to
about "color with the number." If you're looking at a graph, you
will see, perhaps, 3 of the squares have a blue, so then you'd work
3 stitches in blue. If you're following a word pattern, that's
different. It tells you how many stitches to work of each color, in
order.
All the graphs were made here, I chose to make them with
symbols only, instead of colors. Then I printed the graphs and used
colored pencils to use only the colors I wanted, and where I
wanted. Using the cross stitch over tunisian technique, I was able
to use only scrap yarn for the images.
