I don't know if anyone is reading this, but if you are, I would love your opinion on how to write out repeated stitches. The one I'm struggling with could be written like this:
Dc in each of next 4 dc
Or this:
Dc in next 4 dc
Or this:
(Dc in dc)x4
The first one is probably the clearest, but seems very wordy, and is definitely cumbersome to write.
The second one is a little more efficient, but could potentially be confusing - it's possible that the pattern could be directing you to do one dc in all four stitches at once.
The third one seems both accurate and concise, but it looks odd if it comes at the end of a larger repeat. For example:
[V-st in ch sp, sk dc, (dc in dc)x4]x2
I guess you could also say
*V-st in ch sp, sk dc, (dc in dc)x4*, rep * to * x2
But I find that asterisks can be confusing...
Anyway, I would love people's thoughts on this. Also feel free to tell me that I am insane for thinking this much about it :)
