Loved the story about the kitty. Your snowflake afghan is beautiful. What color is that blue?? It is really pretty.

 

I am still working on my Snowflake afghan. I have 4 rows complete so far.

You can see a picture here . I am almost to the halfway point.

I am slowly moving on mine, I had to stop for a while due to MIL troubles. I have started back working on mine. I love the work everyone is doing the colors are beautiful. you all are doing a awesome job.

Thanks The white is Jiffy and the blue is TLC Essentials in Shaded Blues. Melissa, yours is looking great. Do you think the cut-outs on the side are too big and need something done about them? I'm considering making a half block or something.

congratulation

need short time to be done

 

can you tell me what is the size of each motif??

[hseger]

I know what you mean about the big open spaces. I'm starting my 4th row but went back to try to make some half hexes. I couldn't stand the open spots I hope the edging will hide some of the uneveness of the half hexes I made but at any rate I like it better. Here's what they look like.

Thanks! Yes they are kind of big... I hadn't thought about the half motif idea. I bet that would be really neat.

Thank you! Each motif is about 8 inches. They work up so quick and easy.

I knew I couldn't be the only one wondering if the sides looked to holey or if they were wasted because no one wants to be half covered on their back, should 2 be trying to get under it. Another thing I've thought of was just doing a blank insert, with holes that radiate from the center, you see them made that way a lot. I still have 1 S.F. to border and one to make from scratch. I'm getting so tired, I'm tempted to not even hide the threads and just send it off with a ball of yarn and crochet hook included and telling them to 'go for it', ha, ha, snort!

hahaha. I thought about a blank half hex too then took a second stab at the half s.f and thought it would work even though it is a little short. I'll just have to see when I finish it and get the edging on it since there is only 8 of them I think it will be ok.

cozyhomelife your colors look great. i like the shading in the blue. i'm only just picking work after the Christmas holiday and from my week looking after mom and dad. i've got a row of 7 together and 6 flakes done. i'm starting on the blue part now.

[cozyhomelife]

I'm leaving a tail of about 15" on finishing the blue, which I use to sew the SF's together with. One less tail to weave in, as it's already attached. Thanks -They are even better looking in person, the camera doesn't do it justice!

Okay after reading through this entire thread I am hooked hooked hooked! And will probably be hooking hooking hooking for a longgggg time to get it finished!!! I have never done an afghan before so this is probably a big undertaking, but since its small pieces put together maybe I can handle it. I just think its beautiful in all of the colors y'all have posted. I happen to have an abundance of white and forest green so I think I will try it like that. This will be my first CAL, so hopefully I can contribute something to thread :-). Love all of the pics. I am going to start my first snowflake tonight...wish me luck!

I have been wanting to make this afghan for years but never just got around to it because of other projects.

 

Maybe I can squeeze this in between making my Christmas Tree afghan that's been sitting in my closet these past 3 years...yikes!

 

I have LB Wool-Ease Sport in White. I may have to double that and use a sport weight yarn for contrast...dunno though, I need to use up my stash before buying new yarn...

[SuzyQT1968]

Yeahhhhhhhh! 3 snowflakes made! At that rate I could have the snowflakes done by the end of January and the rest of the year to get the background done. Not that I can only use this in the winter, but it's just the goal that I set for myself...to be finished with it by the end of next year. I did also start on the background on one of them just so I could convince myself that I had made the right thing! The snowflakes look different when they are just sitting there by themselves. Hubby started turning lights off at midnight though so I figured it was time to wrap it up. I will finish that one then continue with the snowflakes. By the way the green looks really nice.

I left a long tail on my border to use to sew 2 snowflake blocks to each other. I found that I could make several, easily at night, while listening to my TV programs. But I do better if I don't go back and forth, but make all S.F.s one day and all borders the next.
