I am so embarrassed to reply you because I have not touched my machine since my post until yesterday and it threaded okay! I let it be for fear that my impatience would spoil my day :D But luckily it threaded but I have not tried the machine. Giving it a few more days :D
You are right, most drama series in USA has at least some crochet blanket in there. The one I watched was a Korean drama with subtitles. Even Korea has been bitten by the crochet bug :D Oo yes, your shawl is beautiful! I like granny squares. Its the finishing a project after starting it that is the challenge haha. I am thinking of the solid square for a bag project and have been getting confused with the pattern shared by the link I was following. Need to leave it for a while before I attempt to decipher the pattern again :D
