crochet blanket for beginners  

The pattern is really amazing, though. I'm doing it now.

Is that initial starting count correct of multiple of 8 plus 6. I got the wrong number of stitches twice.

Damn girl, what's the hurry? You're really fly through it. Hard to follow until I figure out what you're doing. I slowed the video down to 50% so I could watch and "learn". Then you go from one end to the other without showing more than two stitches along the way.
