"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."

Jossalyns Afghan

"After designing Elayna’s Afghan for my oldest granddaughter, Elayna, I knew I had to make a new afghan for each of my grandbabies. Jossalyn’s Afghan was designed for my youngest granddaughter, Jossalyn. I chose Lion Brand Yarns Schitt’s Creek for this crochet afghan for two reasons: 1 because I wanted a soft afghan with the perfect pop of color and 2 I wanted a nice acrylic that would hold up well to many washings as Joss likes to tote her blankets around with her. Both the yarn choice and simple crochet stitch patterns combine to make Jossalyn’s Afghan the perfect trans seasonal afghan. Lightweight for cooler summer nights, yet warm enough to take the chill off during the fall."
