Snowflake Afghan CAL

[Gardener]

q8_crochet, I think your afghan is going to look really neat. I'm looking forward to seeing it finished.

 

Mine is just ordinary, white flakes on a blue background. No imagination here at all!

NOt that I really signed up for this CAL. After I finished the TIGGER afghan, I started another one of these for a raffle item to donate. I'm using black for the snowflake and off white for the edging and have two rows done. I do enough hexagons to make a row and stitch them together to form the row. Then I make the next set, make the row and join them. This way I won't have to do all the stitching at the end.

Looks pretty good! I see a couple of others are reversing it as well.

[redbird51]

gardener, mine is just like yours with the dark background. blue is my favorite color so i probably would have chosen that combination anyway.

i can't wait to see pictures of the others, they sound great.

Wooohoo finally done!!! It's in the wash now to make it a bit softer. Of course I have nightmares of it coming out unravelled. It's my first afghan ever, so I am a bit overprotective of it hehe. I gave myself 2 months to do it and it took me just over a month so I feel good about my progress. I got faster and faster as time went on. Definitely gave me the confidence to try another afghan real soon.

A close up of snowflake and the edging. I hadn't seen another shot of the edging that I can recall. It was really easy to do and I like the look. I think I will use it again on another project.

 

 

 

 

q8 I really like the reverse colors you've done.

[Gardener]

That is a gorgeous afghan. Congratulations on finishing it.

[keetch]

that is very nice indeed, I have only completed almost 5 rows, got bored and had to make a baby sweater in between, I am doing the half flakes at the ends just to give it a square look

great job on the afghans ladies

[SuzyQT1968]

I ended up be okay with the "open" blocks. Or maybe I was too lazy to do anymore!!!! But I did appreciate heather writing the pattern out.

 

I love the pink Sue. Hang in there. I got a bit stalled at 5 too, but got myself in gear and actually finished the last 4 in a weekend. Then a couple of more nights to sew them together. The edging didn't take as much time as I thought it would. You will get it done :-)

sue

[SuzyQT1968]

Q8, I started I think around the 28th of Dec. Finished Feb 10. That's probably long for some crocheters but I'm just getting started with crochet really. :-) I had hoped I'd finish within 2 months and beat that by a bit so I was happy. I mainly worked on it on weekends.

[redbird51]

ladies, your work is beautiful. i appreciate the close up picture of the edging. you did a great job.

[mikki]

I have 52 snowflakes done only a lil over half of that has the border around it and put together. I ran out of yarn ...

[q8_crochet]

oh mikki you should buy more yarn

i think you`re missing one more row of 7snowflakes right?

[redbird51]

mikki, please get more yarn and finish. you're so close. i'm still working slowly but surely on mine. i only have about ten flakes to finish and then put the rest together. i am having trouble staying with this and i don't know why because i still think it's a beautiful afghan. i'm going to do it!

[q8_crochet]

mikki

[mikki]

I still dont have the yarn hubby didn't want to go to walmart and thats this crazy towns idea of a yarn store. at least as far as i know i need to go exploring. So here i sit twiddling my thumbs. I tried to work a lil on pink paper dolls but i just dont get it . So i guess for now no for me.

[Gardener]
