Hi all,
New to reading lace crochet patterns. Have been knitting for a long time, but just getting back into crocheting and am enjoying the hook. However, I feel really dumb, but I'm having a difficult time reading the pattern for this shawl. On the very first Row 1 (yikes, I'm really dumb, sorry), I see that you chain 2, then do the ch4lp listed in the Stitches glossary above, turn, then what does it mean after the turn -- the 1 ch-4 sp in bold letters? And then on every row after that, are the instructions in bold type what you do, or is that the short summary of what you just did? I see that this is on every row, so I do need some help. Sorry that this is so basic. Thanks for whatever help you can give to a struggling lace crochet newbie.
