On 8/1/08, I announced that my First Baby Blanket was published on pages 30-31 of the new Coats & Clark booklet, Crochet Made Easy. I was pleased to discover this afternoon that this afghan has also been made into a kit and is available through the Herrschner’s fall 2008 yarn catalog. You can view the catalog online at http://yarncollection.com/shop_by_Catalog.aspx?catalogpage=1. First Baby Blanket is on page 33.
Another of my designs, Sangria Shawl, has also been made into a kit and is available on page 14 of the same catalog. This is a great project if you need to create a wrap in a hurry. It's fun to stitch and works up quickly.
Also, check out Rose In Bloom, the afghan pictured on the cover, available on page 24. While I did not design this afghan, I DID stitch this one for photography purposes. I normally prefer more vibrant colors but was really pleased with the way this one turned out. It's very classy-looking when completed.
UPDATE 11/15/08
Several people have contacted me asking for help with the stitches in the Rose In Bloom afghan. Please understand that my only connection to this afghan is that I stitched it for Coats & Clark. For help with the pattern, please contact Coats & Clark directly. Thank you! :-)

I bought this pattern and I started to crochet the "Rose in Bloom" afghan. I can't find where in the pattern it tells you how to do the beg cl, cl, tr cl, dtr ... etc. Usually it tells you right before the instructions start for the motif. Did they forget to put that part in the book?
Thanks, Kathy
Hi Kathy,
There should have been instructions for these stitches but, as I mentioned in my post, I didn't design this afghan. I only stitched the model. I haven't seen the newly printed pattern so it's difficult for me to say what was (or was not) included.
Have you tried contacting Coats & Clark for clarification?
Best, Brenda
