Debra,

220 Superwash – Pumpkin (# 822)
220 Superwash – Celery (# 905)
220 Superwash – Yellow (# 824)
220 Superwash – Tangerine (# 877)
220 Superwash – Turquoise Heather (# 1911)

Regarding the finishing of the afghan, like I said it’s been awhile. I described the process in the post, but I don’t have an exact pattern for it. I kinda just made it up as I went.

I really love your colors. Did you use 10 colors? Do you mind listing the number or names. I am making a similiar one with brights. I like the brown, it adds depth.

It looks to me like the white border is a combo of sc, dc, and tc. Beautiful blanket and I'm also going to try to make it. Looks like starting from the top left group in white the pattern is 3tc, 3dc, 3sc, 3dc, 3tc with a ch1 between each. Looks like the corners are ch3. It has a beautiful square shape and the center is so round so this is the only way I can see this square shape is achieved.

Oh woah, sorry. I didn't see all of these comments until right now. Sorry for any delay on the responses. You can always email me directly at scoops@deucecitieshenhouse.com

To be honest I don't really know how I did the joining, it's been so long now I can remember. It was very simple something like single crochets between every space, I was actually a little unhappy with it because it created a ridge on the back side of the blanket. I added an extra row around the original granny square pattern with 2 large spaces in every corner, and when assembled it created the little star pattern. Again, I did not keep track of exactly what I did but I am sure it was not too complex.

I will be making a sunburst pillow soon and will be asking myself the same questions about how I assembled it all the first time. If I figure anything major out I will be sure to post it.

Regarding the pattern, I believe you can still find it on priscilla's site, just do some snooping around and you'll run into it.

Thanks for looking and good luck!

I love, love, love this pattern and the link isn't working…do you have the directions. Also, same question as some others…how did you join the squares to create that great star pattern in the corners. Beautiful!

Hey, not sure if you answer these questions, but I'm in love with your blanket and trying to make it but I can't quite tell how you bordered each square – is it SC or DC? And did you chain around the corner on the border to create that tear drop effect? If you could give me some details it would be a huge help! twohundredkelvin@yahoo.com Thanks, love the blog!

I love it! I made 100 of these sunburst squares, but I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to join them. Do you mind sharing your method? Thank you! maddy_maddie@hotmail.com

This is outstanding for a beginning crocheter! It's pretty damn good for an experienced crocheter too, so speaking as someone who's been crocheting for 20+ years I'm quite impressed. :-) I do believe I'll toddle off to that link for the sunburst granny now, because I need to make a blanket for a baby girl. Thanks!
