Temair Throw Reviewed by joann poserina on 2010-02-07
I made this afghan and also had problems with too many holes. I fixed it by sewing the spaces together completely. It took me several attempts at putting it together to realize that. But it made a big difference. My toes no longer poked through. (Yes, there are large spaces especially in the largest square but those were manageable.)
It is really a beautiful blanket even though sewing the pieces together was very challenging. I also left off the tassels. The directions are very clear for the individual parts but it could have been clearer about how to put them all together. My best suggestion would be to arrange the pieces on a large table and do the sewing at the table.
