flippy the fish, page 81
Submitted by leanne s on Mon, 2010-10-18 06:20.At the end of FIN EDGING the pattern states to Fasten Off, leaving a long tail for sewing. The long tail for sewing should be left at the beginning of FIN (MAKE 2). According to the picture the sewing is done with yarn (B) pumpkin not yarn (A) parakeet.

Summer by the Sea Shell Correction query
Submitted by LuLu76 on Thu, 2010-09-09 08:54.Summer by the Sea Shell
I am currently making the 1x size and am up to"Close Front Neck"on pg.25.
The patern states that after the joining for size 1x there is 13 shells.However this can not be correct.
Upon the completion of the "First Front"the pattern states there is a total of 6 shells,as is the same with the "Second Front".(this is correct)
So upon the joining of the First and Second Front for size 1x by following the pattern under "Next Row" on pg.25, gives you 14 shells, not 13.
Can someone please confirm this discovery.

Submitted by erin on Wed, 2010-09-15 10:05.I forwarded your question to our tech editor, and you are correct, the st count should be 14 shells for size 1X, as follows:
close front neck (sizes S (1X, 3X) only)
note Sizes S (1X, 3X) will connect the fronts into one continuous row here. Sizes XS (M, L, 2X) will close the front neck during the join body step. For size S, continue with loop on hook. For sizes 1X (3X) return to first front, place loop on hold at armhole edge back onto hook.
Next Row Ch 3, turn, 2 dc in first dc, work even in pattern across front section, end with shell in top of turning ch, ch 1, shell in first dc at neck edge of other front, work even in pattern across front section, end with shell in top of turning ch—11 (14, 16) shells.
"Dancing Doilies"
Submitted by misfit1023 on Fri, 2010-04-23 10:58.I'm not sure if this will get seen, since many of these comments are months old, but I've discovered a disconnect between the written instructions and the blueprint pattern. On round 4 of Dancing Doilies the written instructions call for* (hdc/2/hdc) yet the blueprint shows the symbols as a V-stitch (dc/1/dc). I haven't finished that round yet so I'm not sure of the error's impact on the finished product.
Hope this helps anyone who might have had a question about that!
Update: I made a correction to my original post (at *); have since finished the doily and it turns out fine following the written instructions. Recommend anyone who prefers working from the blueprint check out the written instructions first.

Submitted by jsetzer on Fri, 2010-03-12 12:31.I'm having a problem with the beginning yoke instructions for this pattern. The stitches(shells) are going in the opposite direction of the stitches in the photo! I think I'm following the directions correctly. Please help!
This is such a lovely design, and I really want to crochet it! The directions seem confusing to me.
