Heather, I could have sworn I posted to your finishing your afghan, but it must have flown into a black hole somewhere (my post, not your afghan!) because I'm not seeing my reply. I'll try again... I'm so glad you have it finished and are enjoying it! Looks fantastic, you must be so proud!

[cozyhomelife]

Lynn & Melissa, your afghans are coming right along -great work!

 

Keetch, I see it's snowing at dawn where you live! I see the snowflakes against the pink sky of an early sunrise. Very pretty

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.

 

Heather would you happen to have a close up pic of one of your half hexes? Or maybe some words of wisdom on how to make them? I am on row 5 and thinking like you that I am not real crazy about the open hunks. Thanks :-)

I finally got a "square" done tonight. I love the Rodeo Red that I got to go with the white.. Looks really cool.

[SuzyQT1968]

Way to go Diane. I'd love to see it in red. I have 5 rows done and working on snowflakes for row 6. The background is Hunter Green.

 

[dilyca2006]

Suzy. I love, love, love the hunter green. I am going to try to post a pic of the red one that I have started.

[dilyca2006]

OH That was very big. Sorry, Didn't mean for it to be so big.

[redbird51]

suzy and dilyca, your flakes are so pretty. both the green and the red look so nice. i'm still plugging along. i have all of the white parts of my flakes done and am now working on finishing with the blue as my dark color. i have three rows totally completed. thank you all for sharing your pictures. i have to learn to do that, too.

SuzyQ here is an up close shot of the snowflake. I have written out the pattern I did If it's not a problem with copyright (since they didn't have a pattern in it for a half) I'd be glad to post it.

This is kind of hard to see since I've put the edging on it.

The best I can say is to start with 4 sc in the ring and work from the middle of the 2 side parts of the flake turning work as you go from side to side. It's hard to describe. lol I'll try to answer any questions.

[dilyca2006]

Redbird. You are making all of the white flakes first. I have to do the whole thing and put them together as I go!LOL

Heather. For me I don't mind the holes where no flake, but, I would like to see your pattern for the half Hex as well.

i hear a voice in my head saying ( crochrt this posttern ... crochet this pattern)

what do you think girls??

[keetch]

hseger, I too would be interested in your instructions to do this, I have been playing around with that gap all weekend and do not like it open either, I did a sc all through it but your idea is much better

I think you had better feed that voice in your head!!!!!LOL

[redbird51]

dilyca, i am using rh baby econo with the sparkly stuff in it and it feels rough to me, especially since i'm using caron simply soft for my dark blue color. i wanted to get the "rough" feeling snowflakes over with and then enjoy the soft blue. crazy i know, but that's just me.

 

q8, go for it. it's been fun looking at all the color choices and great work.

[q8_crochet]

i know in the end i`ll have factory of afghans

let me finish with the one in my hand right now and i`ll start it

[q8_crochet]

what is the size of the afghan??

so if its small i`ll make mor Hex. to make it larger

[dilyca2006]

Redbird. That baby econo is scratchy to me as well. I understand wanting to get the flakes done because of that.

I have 3 hexes done and joined!!! woo Hoo.

[q8_crochet]

ok ok ok you voice in my head ok i`ll do it stop screaming <<< talking to the voice that say`s work on the afghan lol

i give up

after what all you`ve shown i`m in

[dilyca2006]

q8 It really is not difficult. I made a snowflake afghan for a gal for Christmas that was much more difficult then this one. I can finish one hex in an hour if I pay attention to what I am doing and not do other things. I am sure that I am much slower then some that are doing this though.
