Crochet World magazine and Katchkan

[crochetkim]

I am waiting for my copy to arrive and am already planning on making the sweetheart ripple afghan, but I was wondering if someone who already has this issue would tell me what type of yarn this pattern requires? I would like to buy the yarn before my issue arrives.

 

My pattern notes indicate:

 

 

• Caron “Simply Soft Heather” medium (worsted) weight yarn (5 oz/250 yds/228m/142g): 6 skeins #9501 Autumn Red (MC)
  
• Caron “Simply Soft” medium (worsted) weight yarn (6 oz/315 yds/288m/170g): 4 skeins #9730 Autumn Red (CC)
  

 

I used almost every single bit of the Heather (MC), so I would recommend 7 skeins to be on the safe side.

 

However, I haven't seen the issue yet to make sure that everything is the same as the way I originally wrote it. I would have to see it in order to make sure.

Sweetheart Ripple is Caron Simply Soft Heather: 6 skeins each 9505 Plum Heather and 9506 Deep Plum Heather

 

My copy also lists the same colors and amounts as k and c quotes. I was actually wondering about this, since I noticed on the ravelry page, you listed the amounts and colors you mentioned above. So what I understand is that it takes more of the lighter color. Is this correct?

 

By the way - I love this pattern. I don't normally get this magazine, but when I saw this design, I knew that this was an afghan I need to make. It's really lovely.

[k and c]

Kim gives the correct colors for the afghan. For some strange reason the colors were changed by the tech editor; the colors I posted are the ones in the pattern in the magazine. Obviously the designer knows what she worked with.To get the same results, you will need to use those colors.

 

Our bad. Apologies all around.

Oh, goodness! There is no need for apologies at all!

 

No one could possibly have known that the colors were changed. I didn't even know.

 

I've noticed that there are a lot of people starting the afghan and they are choosing their own colors anyway. I chose the colors because I absolutely love the look of putting one of the Heather line colors together with its match in the regular Simply Soft line. Nothing wrong with putting the dualing colors of plum from the Heather line either. But, to me, the afghan looks red, not purple. Not sure what wires got crossed, but it's really okay.

Thank you, Leah!

 

Yes, there are about 500 yards more of the lighter color needed.

This is a wonderful issue. I plan on making the afghan everyone is talking about for the county fair.

 

Also, the baby blue afghan looks great, and has a built in border. I love that idea.

 

Also, the Sweetheart Cap is so cute and easy. And with a few color changes can be made for a boy, as well as a girl. Made my first one last night and it turned out very cute.

 

I'm glad my issue finally came.

I have Kathys pattern, the thread I may use and a gold lurex thread sitting in my basket waiting for me to start and see if it's the color I want to use. It is a moss green 20/2 rayon thread.
