Help! Sue! Pearl! Are you there

Ok, I got cocky and I'm trying another intermediate pattern. But this set of instructions are confusing me. Any help? From the photo, it looks like a very warm blanket.
Thanks!
Shirley

I'm just home from work. Yes, you do go down to the row below. FPdc is a front post double crochet. I don't have this accent, but this video should help you thru it.

Don't hesitate to holler if you need more help.

Shirley, Where are you? Sue and I didn't mean to scare you off with the directions. ;) Let us know how your project is coming along. You heard we might be making mittens and sweaters soon....

I'm here Pearl!
I'm still practicing on this to see if it looks like the picture. Being a lefty, I have to remember my cables bend the other way. :-)

Hi Shirley,

It is okay if you create a new stitch - you can name it after yourself? A dear friend is a lefty so I understand your challenge.

Hang in there!

Pearl, Sue, thanks!
By jove, I think I've got it! [imagine British accent here.] ;-)
Now I just need to decide which size hook to get close to gauge and still make a nice, tight weave.
thanks again!
Shirley
