I updated the old Crochet Coaster pattern and created a new video. I admit I didn't have the right tools to record a better video then & I'm much happier with the results today.
Back then, I had to record all my videos while my kids were running around making more noise than I care to admit! I recorded the voice over when they fell asleep next to me. In my bed. This meant often times, I had to record quietly. It's not the best but I was only able to do so much since I had to work (my full time job) during the day.
Ever since I cleaned up my craft room, I had a space to record my videos, including audio at the same time. That doesn't mean they don't "find" me and barge in lol Someone always needs mama.
Anyway back to the pattern. I used left over yarn I had from Lion Brand Yarn. I'm super excited about a project I'm working on with this yarn (which I can't share just yet!). So I wanted to use this beautiful "stained glass" color for this coaster tutorial.

Lol it happens to all of us, that's what makes life interesting...LOL!😊
No matter how many times I try this pattern, I end step 4 with 53 stitches not 48, I can't figure out what I am doing wrong? Yet it still seems to work out in the end, with just the right amount of stitches to fit the shells and SC perfectly! Could the final count for step 4 in the instructions be off??
