How long does it take you to finish an afghan?

[Jempast]

I have seen all of these beautiful afghans on here. I was just wondering how long does it usually take you to finish an afghan. I know it also depends on how complex and how much time you have. I was just curious how long it takes you to finish an afghan.

mine go any where from a few days to a couple of weeks

[Heather414]

It usually takes me a month to complete a full-size afghan.

[dobermama]

About a month to month and a half for the RR's and depending on the size, because I usually have other things working at the same time! *LOL*

[Peggy85225]

I agree with crochetluvknot, a week to two depending on size and complexity of the pattern and if I'm working ten hour days or on vacation.

[Craw]

About a month for a full size afghan/throw, although a baby 'ghan goes much quicker at a week or two tops. I'm always doing something else at the same time too. Big afghans can get boring and my crochet ADD kicks in.

[Cherri]

Anywhere from 4-5 days to a month or so depending on the size and difficulty.

[smokeyp81]

I have completed a baby size rr in about a week....a full size afghan depending on the difficulty...anywhere from 1 month to 6 months. I also only crochet about 3-4 hours a day, and then not every day.

[PBLKNP]

At least 2 months. For more complex ones, like the 63-Squares Afghan, 6 months.

I'll be different and say a year and a half I usually start one - work on it a little bit here and a little bit there off and on over the year and then buckle down to finish it.

Usually 2-3 months at least unless it's a RR. I can make one of those in a month (have made 2 so far). I'm pretty slow with afghans but I don't work on them for long periods of time. I also take breaks from it for days & generally I'm not in a hurry with them. I have BTDT & it was exhausting & I ended up in a wrist brace for 2 weeks.

 

My crochet time is limited because of tendinitis so I prefer smaller *weekend* sized projects or a project I can finish in a week or two (only crocheting a hr or two per day).

 

I am amazed at crocheters that can finish an afghan in a week or two.

 

If I pushed the envelope, I might be able to do a lapghan in 2 weeks

6 Months seems to be my average. I start early on it so I will be sure to get it done in time for the wedding, Christmas, etc. Work like crazy on it for a week. Get sick of it & set it aside. Pick it up the week before the due date 6 months later. Crochet like mad, get it done 15 minutes before the gifts are opened.

[Arlinka]

It depends upon the size. I used to be able to finish a baby afghan in a week. Larger afghans can take up to a few months, depending on the size and pattern. Now my Doctor has limited my crochet time.... boo hoo.

 

Sometimes I get bored making too large a project, so smaller ones are better for me. Too many WIP's going on now, so must put things in priority order.

[pasteeater]

I did a 75" RR in about a week when it was 115 degrees out. Come to think of it, I should have worked on it in the winter. LOL

[krafty19]

I can make a baby afghan in a week (just working on it in the evenings and weekend). A larger afghan would take me about a month.

[CLLinda]

Anywhere from 4-5 days to a month or so depending on the size and difficulty.

 

 

Me too. I can usually do a baby size in less than a week, but it depends on what's happening in my life, too.

Mostly about a 2 weeks to a month if you count the time actually spent on it for the easier ones. My Double Wedding one didn't take me to long to make but forever to put all those pieces together!!! I like the term use before "crochet ADD" I think that fits me too. If I am doing an afghan that has a repeating pattern then I get bored with it. My Aran Stitch is that way now I am on the far side of middle and the stitches are repeating, ugh. Plus I see way to many good ideas for the next project here. You all are way bad for my budget .

About two weeks for a baby afghan and a month for an adult afghan. Small Round Ripple 'ghans take about 3 days and the Adult size about a week. If it involves sewing/joining granny squares or strips then it's possibly weeks, months, or years depending on when I get the courage up to tackle it.

[LI Roe]

Anyway from a couple of days to a few weeks, depending on how long I work on it. I usually have multiple projects going on at the same time so it varies.

I can finish baby blankets in a weekend. Adult-sized afghans about a month if I count the time I'm actually working on that project. Like others, I get bored with too many repeats so I usually have 5-6 projects going at once to break up the monotony.

Well I just did a Baby Tunisian Scrap-a-Nator in a morning. I got my new 10 mm "P" afghan hook friday. I made up the baby afghan mostly while waiting for 2 tires to be mounted on my DD's car saturday morning.

It depends......on the size, the type of yarn, and of course, how motivated I am! For example, I've been working on a baby blanket for three months - off and on.......it's SC all the way - very tedious, so I keep putting it down! Most of the time, I give myself a month to complete an afghan, no matter what.

I have only made one afghan plus several NICU blankets. Time varies depending on other family activities. I love the baby tunisian blanket. Is there a primer for Tunisian crochet? I would like to give it a try.

There is alot of information on Tunisian Crochet in the Tunisian Crochet Group. The 2 group starters ARNie & Kim are both very knowledgeable and sharing. Their are many links to more information.

I hope and pray less than a week. Found out yesterday my best friends dd is having a wedding shower the 20th, and want to make the happy couple an afghan and some kitchen stuff. Can I do it?
