When will you start putting in photos...I don't like crafting something blind. I want to see what it looks like, check to see if I can change or improve on it and DON'T want to spend time and money on something I can't visualize.

I am not too internet smart so don't know where to find how to ask a question. In your Jan 6 1998 issue you published directions for a cat afghan. I started it and had laid it aside partially done. I ran across it cleaning a closet and now want to finish it but have lost part of the directions. I have page 126 and it is the parts before this I need. In your archives do you have a copy of this particular issue? I would like to buy one or at least get directions for the afghan.
