Now on to Week 4!
I am really struggling with this blanket I am losing stitches like crazy and it is buckling. I think my original count was I think 217, I was good ti I had to do the Treble Crochet. I have 117 now, how can I be missing half the stitches?
Can you share a photo? It sounds like you are missing the ch 1 in between each treble stitch.
