Two throws i completed.

[katyallen815]

Hi,

heres pics of two more throws I completed just this week, one, the first, is a throw for a neighbor I believe, will suit her decor for sure, and the colorful one, Haven't decided yet, maybe for the vets home. I don't usually work with brown, but the first one was fun, cause the browns were defused with varigated browns, and rust, and tans, and blue, and greens, lol was fun to do, and buff fleck to edge it.

 

The second one, I found in a bottom bin, just needed the edge put on, so completed that just today too, it was fun, cause of all the colors.....enjoy,,,,,, there are slated for new homes soon!

  i just put on clean sheets, so thought this was a good time to lay them out and pic them!!

Love them. Great work of course. The bottom one is my favorite

[Tampa Doll]

[bgs]

Both are pretty.  I am sure you will find good homes for both.

[greyhoundgrandma]

Pretty! I'm sure whoever ends up with them with love it.

[pineknott]

those are very nice

[Avon Lady]

Katyallen, those are beautiful!  The variegated one is my personal favorite!  My crochet club makes afghans for Veterans' hospitals, and we always try to make them bright and cheerful, so I think the second one would be great for a Vets' Home!!

I love the top one, probably cause I seldom work with darkish colors, but the buff sure brightened it up, Im happy with the results!!

[katyallen815]

I really like them  both, hard to chose a favorite for me, might have to keep them a while, just to look at them, lol

Those are very pretty.

Wonderful! Brown's not my first choice for a color usually either, but that does look lovely. Makes me want to do something similar sometime! Nice work!

[RecycleCindy]

Nice and both are so pretty!

Great work!  My least favorite part of grannies is connecting them.   I think my next granny, I'm going to try attaching as I go.  What's your choice?

[katyallen815]

Thanks for your comment...

I am one of the lucky ones, who really doesn't mind putting them together, Its sort of a zen thing, meditation type deal, I get in the zone, and am giving myself a break from crocheting, so it doesn't bother me...

 

I usually use the whip stitch,( the colorful one up above was made this way) the sc ridge, on back or front, or the I don't know what its called, front sides together sc, ch 1, sk one stc, sc in next, ch 1, skip one. etc , so you are either sc, or chaining going back and forth in the coresponding stitches of the two you are putting together, makes it a bit more flexible, and doesn't pull or bubble up if done this way I have found..   sometimes, I use sc, ch2, sc,sk one, good luck!

[VikingRunnerGirl]

Ooh, that sc/ch method sounds intriguing! I don't think I would ever have thought to widen the join out like that. Now I want to try that too...

[Peggy85225]

They are stunning.

[Laraine]

Katy, the corresponding joining sounds intriguing but I'm not exactly sure how to do it.    Is there anywhere you know of that I could see it?  I've got some squares I want to connect and I'm loving this idea!!  The front sides together sc, ch1.

[katyallen815]

Im not good at explaining things, wish I could show you, lol If you send me an email addy, Ill try to take some pics of it for you, and me doing it, if that is gonna help....Thanks Lorraine!

[Laraine]

All set Katie.  I sent you my address.  You're so nice to do this!

[Startigerlily]

Wonderful throws!

[katyallen815]

thanks all!

[Taneya Koonce]
