From: Nancy Neff <nnef...@yahoo.com> <<full quote is "It has colored diagrams for the whole thing, which is sort of paint by numbers, but if you think about what you are doing, and try to figure out why it is planned that way, you learn a lot." I agree with everything said except that paint-by-numbers reference. >> This is exactly why I believe that pricking out a pattern helps you to understand and gain a feel for the pattern. Marking in the directions, stitches etc also help learn this. It is how I first learnt to deconstruct a pattern (the second way I learnt was to make lace backwards but I'm not going off on that one again.
