I am always amazed and inspired by the many ways crocheters and knitters use their art to make the world a better place. Occasionally I will post links to read about such people.

Hello, Margret.
ReplyDeleteI got one of your patterns from a JO-Ann link, the Blue Lagoon throw. I am so interested in crocheting this, but I need help in one of the steps. It's on round 5, where I join the new color in a ch3 space, 3dc in next sc, and sc in the next ch3 space. I try to do this, but the point made in the previous round kind of gets in the way, and if I skip it and go directly to the next ch3 space, the point is dangling, I mean, not attached to the new stitches I'm making... What am I doing wrong?
I hope you can help me. I have never seen such a beautiful afghan and I just really want to have it. Thank you. My email is vaguirrev@hotmail.com
