| Double-Strand Afghan Reviewed by Janice Maniatis on 2008-09-30 |

| There is something really wrong with this pattern. If you use a Q-hook the center is extremely large. Anything smaller and you can't use double strand. I wish they would correct this and repost the instructions -- it looks like a great pattern.
