UPDATE My Lorenz Manifold Crochet Project



Ok, here's an update on my Lorenz Manifold crochet project. A very interesting one indeed. I'm hoping after spending all this time on this pattern, that I can figure out how to create the manifold properly. I finished 23 rows of tr and double crochet and then had to tear out 2 rows because I somehow lost 4 stitches. So I'm back to row 21. It's definitely easier if you use markers at least at every 25 stitches. Right now, row 21 is to have 343 stitches around and measures 12. 1/4" at the diameter. You can see it's starting to ripple from the increases. And you can also see, I'm still not doing well with ending and starting a new color.



A very fun project that thrills me everytime I pick it up. Just to see it's ripples changing really is exciting to me. Any comments?

Hi hun, Just found your blog from somewhere! lol You mentioned you have problems joining on a new colour.....I've always found success if I join it immediately before finishing the last stitch of the previous colour...ie if you are doing a dc, then before you draw the yarn through the last 2 loops, join the new colour on and draw the new colour through the last 2 loops instead of the old colour. Does that make sense? Good luck and I hope it works for you. Hugs Naomi from Australia
