The whole afghan in thread as a wall hanging will be great. I have no knowledge about creating the wall hangings for my crafts. Will you stiffen the thread and put the artpiece on the frame ? (That's if you want to do it for the office. )

 

I'd make it in thread and not stiffen it, but have it mounted and framed professionally. It would probably have enough body to it that it would not require stiffening. I have had several good framing experiences at my local Michaels when they have had their 60% off framing sales.

Ah, good tip about Micheal's framing! I never thought to get it professionally done, too cheap to pay for such service.

#8?????? Girl...you are a crocheting fool!!

[walker1021]

Thanks ladies! I'm going to work on it again tonight and see how far I get. The problem is though, I get so into crocheting that I forget that I have to go to bed so I can get up in the morning to go to work!

 

Candy

 

I know exactly how you feel. If my hubby has fallen asleep on the couch, I tend to stay up WAAAY to late crocheting. Otherwise, when he goes to bed, I know it is time to put down the hooks and refresh my body and soul for another day at the "other home" aka - work.

Thank you ...Yes this is Number 8 of only this pattern...I've

lost count on how many afghans I've made in my life time...

Where do you live that it is getting that warm?

 

Its cloudy and cold on the West Coast of the USA....

Linda

Oh that is pretty! I really like those colors.

[renegade]

sad to say I haven't done any work on my afghan since before I went to NY for vacation. I've been back a couple of weeks, and still haven't picked it back up. I think I need to make more of an effort, especially since I have all my yarn on my dining room table and at some point I'd like to get that back.

 

With the Olympics on, maybe I'll do more. Our weather is in a real unstable pattern right now. Today is sunny and it'll be probably close to 80 (since it's already in the 70s and it's only noon) and we're likely to have snow on Tuesday. I don't know how much more cold weather we'll have, although it's not unheard that we get cold weather in March.

 

I'd like to make more progress on it before it is more consistently warm, because I won't want as much to work on it then.

[crochetingfool]

Thank you all.....

Oh Linda! Those colors are stunning, they look so royal!!

 

I finished mine last night!! It's in the dryer right now. Hopefully will get some pictures soon, but we got 4+ inches of snow ( we cooked out the other night, it was in the70s 2 days ago) so it probably wont be an outdoor picture rofl

Our warm weather didnt last long! Got snow last night lol unheard of for this part of the country, so the entire city is shut down.

But will be back up in the 50s in a day or two so it wont last long!

[tobybob]

I added 4 more rows yesterday, but have to frog one row. I didn't do enough stitches in the corners. Oh well!

Everyones afghans are turning out great. Some nice color combos.

[cancrochet]

I've been meaning to post another pic of my progress...think I'm up to round 62 now on my second afghan. I posted at pic at Flickr a couple of days ago, so just click on my link here to see it. When I get home from work, I'll take another pic and post here so you can see what I've got so far.

 

Candy

[tobybob]

[cancrochet]

Okay, here's another update on my second one. On round 62 now, and hope to finish this one this weekend. Took a vacation day this Friday so I can crochet!
