Sunday afternoon and Crocheting a butterfly or maybe not...

Well Good afternoon friends...I was checking other blog like I do and found this pattern for a crocheted butterfly and I thought o yeah let me try and do this...it was from Mixin it up with DaPerfectMix' She crochets...
It all started out well

The body started out well, at least I think..though I might have not done something right. I do not read directions well...I never really have. I have tried to learn to read them..and are still trying.

I got half ways through and thought it sounded as if I was going backward...hummm so the bad thing was I decided to take it all undone and re do when I go home. It's hard to concentrate at Mom's house.
Here is the Directions if you are interested in it..

* An asterick is used to mark the beginning of a portion of instructions to be worked more than once, "rep from * twice more" means after working the instructions following the asterick twice more means (3 times in all).

+ this identifies a portion of the pattern that will be repeated again later in the same row or round.

~ the number after this symbol at the end of row or round indicates the number of stitches you should have when row or round is completed.

( ) Parentheses are used to enclose instructions which should be worked the exzct number of times specified immediately following the parentheses, such as "( 2 sc in next dc, sc in next dc) twice." They are also used to set off and clarify a group of stitches that are to be worked all into the same space or stitch, such as " in next corner sp work (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc)."

[ ] Brackets and ( ) Parentheses are also used to provide additional information to clarify instructions.

Join- join with sl st unless otherwise specified.

I'm hoping that when I go home I can do this...
