12 inch Square of the Month CAL 2011

[kittyloverdeb]

When I did the Mum square it wanted to roll and curl up too. I just kept smoothing it out and stretching it to make it more "square" as I was working on it. It came out fine and I think when it is attached to other squares it will be wonderful!

I think it's just because it's more of a "lacey" pattern versus a heavier or more solid one...if that makes any sense?

I replaced it with this one, for some reason it didnt like that link, I tried to fix it but it wouldn't let me.

 

Computers! :lol:lol

twinklesnow - the afghan is really pretty. I love bright colors.

 

smith - I agree with hunter green rather than med thyme. It would also be nice with a rich blue, maybe RH blue or royal, depending on how dark you want it to be.

I made the Victorian square and it turned out so pretty!

 

I tried the Dutch square last night even though I'm making mine just one color. I couldn't figure it out after the first few rows...or I should say I didn't think it looked right in only one color after the first few rows. I'm eager to see how everyone else's turn out

 

So instead I started the double framed lace. It is super easy (brain-dead easy, lol) just what I needed last night I have only a couple more rows to finish that one.

 

This is really fun! I'm so excited to thnk that at the end of the year I'll have an afghan and it will have been enjoyable and not feel like tons of work.

 

I'm debating whether to make a 12 square afghan and a pillowghan or just two afghans.

That one made me crazy, ripped it, tossed the pattern aside. Did a different one by Champygirl that I extended to snuggle size.

I sure won't be trying the Dutch one. Thanks for the feedback.

Where is the Dutch one from? Oh never mind....just figured it out....duhhhhhh! I printed it off but haven't attempted to make it. Since mine are all in one color I probably won't even mess with it. Maybe I'll do the snowflake one instead. Thanks for the heads up on it Wrennie!

I was wondering how the Dutch square would look in one color. If I finish all the other January projects, I might try one in two colors for a snuggle. I haven't actually looked at the pattern yet.

I seem to have fallen behind with the squares. Guess I better get busy.

[bigfunfam]

Both of this month's squares are finished

 

Now to go work on my snowflakes and ribbons afghan

[twinklesnow]

I for the life of me cant figure out the mum square, mine keeps rolling up like a hat, I cant get it to lay straight

[Shell Lee]

The way things are going here... I think it's going to be May before I get started on my squares! But by then I'll know what color(s) I want to use, know what stash I have left to use, and maybe have time... maybe... lol

Needed a CAL to fill in the "balnk" spots, This will do nicely

 

Looks like I have some catching up to do

[twinklesnow]

Here's a pic of my latest 12 inch square I am making to go for my sampler afghan that Im going to make for myself.

[Wrennie]

Thats a cool square!

[bigfunfam]

That is a really cool square! Really pretty and I love the color. I love green

[twinklesnow]

If you guys like it, I may include it later this year as a square for our afghan! Im making a sampler afghan that I plan to put up on my Etsy shop with the grand opening later next month to earn money that I can use to buy my supplies.

You really are on a roll! The squares look great.

[twinklesnow]

The squares are super pretty!!! i really like them, Im still having a problem with "mum's the word" so I'm going to substiute that square with a different square.

Those turned out so pretty! I love all the colors that you used

 

I still can't find my camera cord but I think my dh is on board with getting a new camera since ours isn't working as well as it used to and it's several years old
