"Fine and good. But I'd love to know just how one is supposed to lay out a 5ftx6ft afghan "on a towel". I made a custom size afghan for my son last Christmas and it needs to be washed. I used acrylic yarn, so I imagine washing it alone in a front-loader on gentle cycle would work well, and hopefully spin-drying wouldn't harm it (although it is not mentioned here). Heat doesn't work well with acrylic, or so I've been told, so I think I'd prefer to air dry this. But laying it out? Where? On the floor? On the bed? In a tiny one-bedroom apt that might be difficult, especially with children and pets in the mix. Even a small kitchen table wouldn't be big enough, according to these instructions. I'm flummoxed as to where to lay this to dry. Anyone have any suggestions? At this point I'm almost thinking I may have to build something, so any design ideas are welcome!"

"Caps crochet is inaccessible. It's listed as an unsafe site. Would have enjoyed learning a new stitch."

"Question about the border 2nd End calls for 7 Single crochet to make corner and 7 Double crochet for the sides. Is that correct or should the corners also be 7 Double crochet? Thanks."

"This is going to be my next afghan, but I've yet to find the color or brand of yarn. What did you use?"

"I originally designed this pattern back in 2014 and it only included one baby size, but in it's recent update (2020), it has received a new name - Gia, which represents one of my series featuring designs made with one large continous granny square, and six more sizes including two photography blanket sizes perfect for layering, newborn, toddler, child, lapghan and throw. The newborn blanket size took me just over two hours 15 minutes to work up, so that's definitely a plus working with the super chunky yarn."
