The Designer is "In!"
Welcome to My Miracle!
This blog is dedicated to everyone who has struggled over the years to find either the pattern or the yarn for my prize-winning afghan, and to those who have kindly asked about my other designs since I was chosen as the Grand Prize Winner in Annie's Afghan Contest.
If I can be of any help to you, I will be happy to try!

Hi!
ReplyDeleteI am making this amazin afghan just now, it is so fun to crochet! But, I have run in to some trouble with Third section Rnd 8 and hoped that you might be able to help me. (I'm sorry for my not so good english, I'm from Sweden..)
I have 30 sts on the part on the row below that is suposed to turn to 34 sts on this row. I can't fit in more than 33 sts of the 34.. Am I reading the pattern wrong or is it something wrong in the pattern?
Thankful for help.
I have looked at avaliable errata and it has no help for me.
My pattern sais this for row 8:
Join black in first st of any black 5-dc group, ch 3, dc in each of next 4 sts, [changing to gemstone, dc in each of next 6 sts, inc, dc in each of next 3 sts, working across rnd 6, working over sl sts, dc in next st, changing to black, dc in each of next 5 sts, changing to gemstone, dc in each of next 2 sts, working across Valley fill-in, dc in next st, inc, dc in each of next 3 sts, inc, dc in each of next 2 sts*, changing to black, dc in each of next 5 sts] 16 times, ending last rep at *, changing to black, join in top of beg ch-3. (34 sts in each rep - 544 sts total)
Thank you!

Elin, I think you've caught a mistake in the printed pattern!
DeleteThere are supposed to be two increases in each gemstone section. I spaced them evenly, so once you see the pattern of where to increase in each gemstone section, it should be the same throughout.
" changing to gemstone, dc in each of next 3 sts, inc, dc in each of next 3 sts, inc, dc in each of next 2 sts*, changing to black, dc in each of next 5 sts] 16 times"
So, it's a pattern of 3 dc, increase, 3 dc, increase, 2 dc for each gemstone section, then switch to black and dc 5.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Hi just downloaded this pattern from Annie's. Do you have a yarn color list for the one with the bright and medium blue on the points?
ReplyDeleteI wish I did!! I'd *love* to make one just like that for myself.
