Yarn Along with FPdc

 Joining in this week on Ginny's yarn along.  I don't have anything new to show I'm still working on the hat I started  last week.  It actually looks more like a thick doily.  I'm hoping it will form into a hat soon.  As for reading same book as last week because all I have beenn doing is reading this pattern over and over.  The level for this hat is experienced.  I think by the end of this projects I will be experienced. 
What I did learrn from this pattern is FPdc.  So instead of a new book this week I thought I'd share a tutorial on Front Post double crochet.  Hope that's ok with you all and I hope this helps anyone out there trying to decipher those crochet acronyms :)
Here is a sample.

 First thing you need to know with front post double crochet is that you are NOT working the stitches on top like we usually do when crochetting. 

 Instead you are going to double crochet right into the post here.

 Start by yarn over hook then insert hook on the right behind the post and come up on the left. 

 You now have on your hook the post and two loops.

Next yarn over hook and pull it through.  (I don't have that picture it didn't download.) What is on the hook now are 3 loops.

 Yarn over hook and pull through two loops.

 Two loops remain.  Yarn over hook and pull through both loops. 

 One loop remains and you have completed FPdc.  Neat.  I was excited figuring this out. I know just something simple to make me happy. 

 I did a few more and this is what they look like.  They are raised and a little thicker compared to the rest of the stitiches.
