Why do the afghans that I crochet come out uneven and curly around the edges? I have crocheted two afghans. Both of them are uneven around the edges. It is obvious when I fold them. I can't get the ends to match. What can I do to fix this? Any suggestions? Well, the edges aren't supposed to be ripply. I just did some rows of single crochets and some rows of double crochets...and now they are all ripply and uneven. Should I just undo it and do only single crochets around the edge?

My mom had this gadget that she used to make flowers for crocheted afghans her and my grandma made.? Anyone know what they are called and where to find them?

The outer pegs formed the outer layers of the flower and the inner ones the inner petals and the center. I'd love to find some and know how to use them to make an afghan like mom used to. thanks
