Crochet-Along Clue 5: Spoilers and Photos

[Dour2005]

Wow this one is easy enough you can do an Octagon afghan with just increase numbers every row.

That's true, and you could change colours each row too.

After looking at all the pictures, mine came out looking like everyone elses. The only thing that concerns me is that it makes me feel like I'm the only one who is using the Birch White as my MC! I hope this makes it look pretty enough to give to my little girl!

My main color is Birch White also! I just love that color. So serene and lovely.
And I chose pastel colors for the others. I have an old white iron bedframe, so I think it will look nice on it. What other colors did you choose?

On the pattern release post it says one of the skills is a magic ring--but the instructions do not say anything about it? Who used this versus a standar chain?

My main colour is also birch white - my daughter's choice and I think it will make it both pretty and bright! I also have colonial beige, bark, aqua foam and greek sea ... (those are listed off the top of my head without the wrappers here - hope that makes sense!)

I always use the magic ring when working circles. Once you get the hang of them they are so much easier than chains. You just skip ahead to row 1 when using the magic circle / ring.
Look it up on you tube or (search engine for static tutorials)
I would post a link here but since it is not from Bernat I don't think that would be right. There are a ton of tutorials, in fact, if I haven't done a circle in awhile, I will quickly look them up till I remember how to do it. Then it is easy street.

I tried the magic ring after watching the video and love it. Keeps the centre tidy. I think I'll do that from now on.

I know how to do the magic ring, but when I tried it with this, I get a smaller motif, does this happen to anyone else?

Looking forward to this clue. The last couple have frustrated me. Trying to get the sizing right has been a challenge. I haven't done Clue #4 yet. Still onl the last couple motifs for Clue #3 (I am a littel behind). Maybe I will get caught up over the weekend. Happy hooking all.
