Question
what does working over ch-2 sp mean

Answer
Hi Supriya!
Thanks for asking. From what you have given me, it looks like you skip the ch –2 space and work in the next corresponding stitch the instructions tell you to.
It also can mean to work in front of the ch-2 space in cases where you crochet in a round or row below the last one you finished. For example, if you are on round 3 and need to crochet a stitch in round one.  I don't know why they just don't say "skip". i think it would be less confusing.
I hope this helps. If this doesn’t work out right, please let me know what the instructions are for that particular row or round. Different patterns have their own method of instructions. Let me know if you need anything else. Good luck!

Expertise

I have crocheted many doilies, I enjoy working with crochet thread. I have crocheted numerous afghans. But I have little to no experience in the afghan stitch, or hairpin lace. If you have a question pertaining to a pattern in a magazine, book or leaflet, please include the name and # of it, and the page or pattern #. There is a slight possibility I may have that pattern, and can refer to it. Nearly all of my crochet magazines, leaflests, etc are over 5 years old. Many are from the 80's and before. Although I have crocheted sweaters and slippers,I don't feel I have done enough of them to really give good advice as to assembling the pieces, but can give advice on the type of stitches.
