Great. I got it from ravelry. Thank you
What is the finished size of the project?
60 inches. could easily add all the colours of the rainbow in the last section to make it a king before doing the edging. 🙂
This is the first CAL I have done. Loved the first part, can’t wait till next one. Are you posting every Monday? (I hooked up on Ravelry 😉). Thanks for creating and sharing this pattern.
Yes every Monday. There’s a schedule on my original post.
I put together a page to find everything to do with the crochet along in one place. Check it out and bookmark it for later.. http://dearestdebi.com/garden-romp-crochet-along-2017
Is row 7 worked at the front or the back of the work?
I see what people were having problems with round 7, you have to look at the right side of your work at all times. I added a note to the post above with an image.
Debi, I finished the second video and my edges are … I guess lifting up a bit…not sure how to describe it. But, my work does not lay entirely flat. What do I need to do? I can’t post a pic here.
Make sure you have the correct counts.
The last round of flowers worked (Rnd 16-17) may be a little wavy but that should resolve itself as it gets bigger.
Also did you make sure you didn’t add an extra hdc in the 8 ‘corners of Round 18.. Here’s an example of this error.. http://bit.ly/GRRnd18error
