Question
what does in mean when it reads ( ending last rep without working last dc and ch-2 sp)

Answer
Hi Brenda,
Without seeing more of your pattern instructions, I can only assume that you have been crocheting several rows over and over.  Say you've repeated that section of rows 5 times.  When you get to the end of the last row of that repeat, do not work the last double crochet and chain 2 space.  Apparently the pattern takes a change at that point and you're going to do something else before proceeding.

If this doesn't answer your question, send me more detailed instructions.

Traditional Crochet and Filet Crochet (not clothes) I do more thread crochet than yarn.

Experience

I have been crocheting for over 50 years. As a child growing up in New Orleans, LA, I had aunts and older cousins who taught me, but now they are all gone and sadly, there is no one who crochets in my area. I hope to be able to meet fellow crocheters through this website, and I'd be delighted if I could help someone answer a question. I'm sure I'll be asking my share, also. I specifically enjoy doilies and afghans. I really like designing filet crochet. I don't make clothes, other than hats and scarves.

Education/Credentials
I learned as a child in the 50's from aunts and older cousins.
