Submitted by threejays8 on Tue, 2009-10-20 15:55.How do I get this pattern after the magazine is off the shelves. I just bought my first Crochet Today magazine for november/december and I can't seem to get the pattern for this previous magazine for Dreamy Doilies Afghan.
Thank you,

Hi Manon, I have this issue
Submitted by DanaReneeCrochet on Mon, 2009-06-08 08:57.Hi Manon,
I have this issue at home, but I haven't looked at this pattern in detail. It looks like there are 20 large motifs.
Usually, once you get to the second motif, you'd join using a slip stitch or single crochet as you are creating the motif, once you get to a "point" of one of the "petals". For example, say the petal has 2 sc, 1 dc, then 2 sc - once you've finished the dc, you would join to the other dc on the other motif using a slip stitch, then go back to the motif you are working on and continue with 2 sc. It looks like for each motif, you'd do 2-4 sets of four joinings. From the photo, it's hard to tell if there are small motifs joining in between or if there are some longer loops/chains on each motif that have been joined (at the point - or middle of the chain) to the others.
Hope this helps!
Dreamy Doilies Afghan assembly question
Submitted by luna0721 on Sat, 2009-06-06 12:43.Hi there!
Im fairly new to crochet and i fell in love with this pattern. I know it's intermediate, but I like a challenge! Im french canadian, and im biligual, but it might increase the diffculty level for me.
So, I read all the instruction, even made the first motif, but the pattern does not say how many of each motifs we have to make.
It says: " Assemble motifs into 5rows of 4 motifs in each row working one-side joining or two-side joining as necessary"
Since there is 3 different motifs (first motif, two-side joining, one side-joining), i wonder how many of each I will have to make. And since they are all joined, what is the use of the first motif, without joining instruction?
I know there is nothing wrong with this pattern, it's just my inexperience showing, but i really love crochet and and this pattern is just to beautiful to let down. If any of you has made it already,or a similar project, I would be so grateful if you shared your experience with me!
Thanx for your help ladies!
Manon

It looks like it would be a challenge that I would like. Kingmanrose@frontier.com
