Will there be a shark? I'm a scuba diver and love rays and sharks. Loving your squares and hoping to start this in August or September.
Thank you so much for sharing your patterns!
Yes! A shark is in the cards for this afghan! 🙂 I admire you for being a scuba diver – I can only hope I am brave enough one day to try it!
In your pattern there is a row 12, but not 13. Instead it says chain 13. I imagine this is supposed to be Row 13?
I am so tickled to find your blog. I'm looking forward to do this ocean afghan as well as the woodland one. Thanks for your hard work.
Yes! It is suppose to day row 13 🙂 thank you for pointing that out – I will fix it!
