How to Crochet from a Chart - Tapestry Crochet

The following videos are two examples of crochet from a chart. I do refer to this as tapestry crochet based on the definition of a tapestry. Picture images on a heavy cloth. You will not crochet over the strand of yarn with these examples. The yarn is picked up the from the previous row by using yarn bobbins to keep it in place. I do have a crochet blog with many chart patterns. http://painted-crochet.blogspot.com/

NAO AGUENTO MAIS ESSE CALOR!

TEM 3 DIAS QUE DURMO DENTRO DO FRIZZER...........

O clima de São Paulo enlouqueceu!
              O clima Mundial enlouqueceu!

Tem 43 dias que chove por aqui, ininterruptamente e olha que não é chuvinha boba não, é tempestade mesmo - raios trovões, céu carregado, resultando em terríveis inundações, desmoronamentos, afogamentos em ruas, avenidas, bueiros, rios.......
E quando chega a noite, um calor insuportável ( agora 24 graus à 1 da manhã - meu ventilador de teto me pediu um ventilador só pra ele.

Ô povo, vê se aprende, lugar de lixo é no lixo e lugar de árvore é plantadinha no seu habitat natural.
PelamordeDEUS, chega de sujeira e desmatamentos gente,  ou não chegaremos nem em 2012!
