How to read a crochet pattern?
I have a crochet pattern I'm trying to read, and I can't understand it that well. Its probably a lot easier than the other patterns people try to read, but I've never tried patterns before. It says I need to '6 sc in Adjustable Ring, sc inc every st - 12, sc inc every 2nd - 18' and it goes on like that. Can anyone help me understand what that means?
Ok, thanks to both of you! I understand it better now, and it seems to be working ^^
Answer:
The adjustable ring is also called the "magic ring". It's a method of starting crocheting in the round so you can adjust how tight or loose the ring is. Here's how to do it: http://www.crochetme.com/forums/t/28917.aspx
Once you make the loop, you need to single crochet in it six times. After that, you single crochet twice in every stitch, which will make there be 12 stitches. Then, for the next round, you single crochet in one stitch, single crochet twice into the next stitch, single crochet in the next stitch, and so on until there is 18 stitches.

Pros and Cons about Tungsten Wedding Rings
A wedding ring is something that's going to last forever and you need a ring that symbolizes the eternal union of the couple and the strength of their relationship. Now a days, people are selecting tungsten as their wedding ring metal. Basically, tungsten is a metal that is used for manufacturing tools and machinery. This alloy has been introduced in the jewelry line, especially rings, quite recently. One of the main reasons why tungsten rings have gained its super status is their durability and strength.
Tungsten rings are made with the mixture of carbon alloy and tungsten, which is why they are known as tungsten carbide. Most of the tungsten wedding bands and tungsten engagement rings are made of tungsten carbide. It gives the ring the durability which they are widely popular for. However, some jewelers add cobalt while manufacturing tungsten rings which can cause an allergic reaction. You must always ask the jeweler about the components used to make the ring.
Tungsten carbide rings do have their advantages but it doesn't come without some disadvantages. Below, you will find the pros and cons of tungsten rings. Hopefully, it will help you decide whether this metal will be the one that your wedding ring is going to be made of.

Again, another advantage is that tungsten rings are highly resistant to tarnish. It is scratch-proof and especially popular with men for its indestructible feature. You can easily avoid a number of dents and scratches on your wedding band. It is the most wear resistant jewelry you will ever find today.
