the nautilus challenge



there is a nautilus knitting pattern out there, but since i am not really much of a knitter as much as crochet ninja and since i am determined to become fluent in crochet, i am working out my own pattern.  this is my third try.   

the approach i am using this time was to use the fibonacci numeral sequence that i was introduced to during a challenge at the HPKCHC on the very first row, then to just enlarge very gently from there, turning at the top--one stitch in each stitch. (i am farther along than this scan shows.) after i make aobut 8 rows of single crochet, i will proceed back down the other side the the original chain, reversing the fibonacci in decreases.  if it works out, i will go on to add tentacles and friendly little eyes!

cross your tentacles for my success!
