I apologize ahead of time for the final video within Clue 6. It took 8 or 9 video's cut together to create the one video in the pattern. I was crocheting the final rounds and was pausing the video camera and unknown to me, my husband or maybe my SmoothFox terrier somehow moved the tri-pod that was holding the camera just slightly between different pauses in the video. Once I had finished crocheting and the final video was complete, I pasted them all together. Created one long video and sat down to watch it. I had no idea that in some of the video's that I was off frame to the right. I am not going to go back and remake the video. The instructions are in the pattern and if you listen to the video, I'm explaining what I did while I am slightly off screen.
Please do not send me emails asking me to remake the video nor send me mean emails telling me the video is horrible. I am apologizing ahead of time and also apologized in the video before you begin watching it.

Mystery Baby Blankie - pattern updates corrected
I'm so very sorry for all of the headache's lately regarding the mystery CAL. I tried a new program that would let people print the pattern directly from the blog. What I didn't know is that if someone reported an error, the program that I was using to print was not updating when I changed the pattern.
I just decided to go ahead and put the clue's as a download on Ravelry for right now, which is the old way of doing it. Hopefully you still want to continue. I'm very distraught over the entire fiasco. Crocheting is supposed to be calming. I'm highly stressed about this but believe I have it working now.
I deleted all older postings of the pattern and hope you will continue to participate.
