Debra,
Welcome! Smile
Antialiasing helps to smooth out curved lines that would otherwise look jagged. Since squares and rectangles aren't technically "curves," in generating a pattern, this setting will attempt to give it a more curved look.


I recently started crocheting and I have been asked if I can make a 60"X80" blanket. THe customer wants there to be a 5 point star in the middle and edging around the blanket. I am confident I will be able to do this... I just need help on the best way to get the star in the middle...
Anything helps, Thank you 

Thanks so much, I'll keep looking for C2C to come out

no I bought the pattern off Etsy The pattern  is 240stiches x 240stich   the soft navy on the pattern I can't count can't see the lines that seperated them.  I try to enlarge the pattern but doesn't work  I try to do my own used a chart but can't find one with 240 stiches I thought I could choose a lighter color for the soft navy and be able to see  to count the blocks Thank you very much BJ

Line,

I'm so glad you speak up when you see dogs in carriages!  Kiss  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.  Kiss

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!  Embarassed

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.  Kiss  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!  Kiss

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.  Kiss  If you like crochet, I think you'd like beading.  Kiss  It's actually quite relaxing to weave beads to make a bracelet or a necklace or something.  Kiss  Handmade bling can be yours!  Wink

Nothing wrong with you being curious.  Kiss  But then does that make me the man in the yellow hat?  Laughing  LOL.

Hugs,
Melanie
