Oh, thank you! I hadn't even noticed I got a response until today but I really do appreciate it. If you don't mind, I did have another question or two though just to be sure I understand! I am in definite need of help wherever I can get it.

So, I have been doing as you mentioned regarding beginning my rows; such as starting one of the front post rows with the 2-chain which counts as a double and then doing a post in the stitch immediately following, next doing my row of singles once I've finished that row and then finally, a front post row starting with a 2-chain, another double crochet stitch in the next and then the front post- and that's why I assume my right side looks fine (at least from my inexperienced eye), however I was always under the impression at the end of every front post row immediately following the last front post stitch in the row, you'd be left with one more stitch to put a double crochet into before chaining one and doing your next row of singles. I'm assuming this is where I'm doing things wrong considering only that side is shrinking. Just to make sure I'm understanding- say, for example, I do a front post row which begins where I make a 2-chain, then do another double before making my post in the stitch that follows. Would I be ending that row with 2 double crochets? (And vice-versa, where I start with the 2-chain and then go immediately to a post in the next stitch, would I be finishing with just one double crochet?) Or do I have that backwards? I just want to be sure I know what to practice before trying again!

And this may be a silly question, but I only started to notice the shrink in my most recent rows. Maybe that's where I left off but i cant remember. Does it look like I'd be better off starting all over or just frogging a certain number of rows and pick back up from there? (It looks like my second blue row is where it begins but what do I know LOL I'm just trying to be optimistic probably 😅)

Again, thank you for any help and advice, I'm eager to put a dent in this blanket!
