Crochet Along Clue 9

For this week's clue I was expecting to add something to the body of this piece. Instead the directions in clue 9 called for 2 additional rows of border. I tried the last row, following the instructions for double crochet 5 together but was not pleased with the results. This row was very ruffly and  curly  and very thick and heavy compared to the afghan body. So I pulled that off and tried something else. This time I substituted popcorn stitches rather than the double crochet 5 together. The edge of the piece still doesn't lay as flat as I'd prefer but it's much better and doesn't feel as heavy and thick. 

On Tuesday, the last clue will be posted. I'm looking forward to seeing and doing the conclusion of this crochet along.
