Making a Distinction

I *do* enjoy *designing* crochet items. Like my eyelet cardi. However, I *don't* like writing up the patterns. Here's my "pattern notes" from the eyelet cardi:
Eyelet Cardi Pattern page 1 Eyelet Cardi Pattern page 2
Ick, huh? Plus, I don't really have an interest in calculating the different sizes I would need to have a "real" pattern... I like to have specific bodies with measurements, not imaginary-body measurements.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean and I have some pretty funny looking scribbled patterns too. I am in such awe at those people that can write up a pattern for multiple sizes overnight.

It's a habit I picked up from note-taking... diagrams are easier to read with multiple colours. ;)

You're still more brave than I am. I DO NOT like fitted items, regardless. I love to crochet, I knit (a little), but I'm terrified of fitted items. I stick with afghans, pillows, doilies, bookmarks, and anything else non-fitted.
