Newbie Crochet along?

[Sarah Jane]

Thanks for the suggestions. I will take them into consideration. I thought that just having verigated in one block of 6 and one differnet verigated one in another block would look okay but I am only new to this and this will bw my first completed afghan so I can definently use all the advice I can get!!!

 

Thank you heaps!!!

Hello my name is Ayla. I just started to learn how to crochet October 8,2006. I would love to join your cal since I afterall am a newbie. Let me know what I have to do in order to join. Thank you!

I'm a newbie and would love to try this. I like ripples but I ran out of the varigated color that inspired me to try the ripple in the first place:eek So I would love to practice up on the granny squares, I know I sure do need it.

When do we start? What patterns are we using or can we pick our own? I work the next two nights but am off for three days after that! Plenty of time to get busy on some squares. Oh what size are we making? I definitely need the practice on sizing and gauge.

I originally started this CAL and I'm glad to see people still joining in!

There are two patterns I originally suggested. They are:

and

The second one is by far the easiest. You are welcome to do any granny you want and size you want. I started with 6" squares and on my next project did some 12" squares. I like using the "I" or "H" hooks for my squares, but use whichever one you would like for your project.

Again, welcome and I'm happy to help if I can. I am unable to take pictures of my completed work right now because my camera was stolen this past summer (bummer) but I look forward to seeing your work in progress!

Hey, I am just starting 2 'Good Granny Gracious Baby Afghan's--does that count? Of course, I have only started one so far. They each have 24 squares joined into a 4-square x 6 square section,then are surrounded by 12 rows or so of granny square stitch. So, that's sort of 25 squares, right? I can't commit to anything else before they are done. They are for twins, due in January. This is a good idea, as many of the CALs are too advanced for me.

That counts. This thread is for people wanting easy stitches (such as the granny square) to learn and practice on. Good luck and keep us posted!

Okay. Last night I reorganised all my patterns which took me 3 hours!!! After I was done I decided to sort everything else too (I have barely anything and can't afford to buy anymore crochet stuff for a while as I've just got my first house!:cry) I came across the blanket I was making for this and since I can't buy any more yarn for it I am putting it together now.

 

I had 14 squares done and 1 with 3 rows left. I finished that one and have joined 12 of the squares now. It is going to be my own personal lapghan for in front of the tele and it is a perfect size to have on the bed in winter to cover only me and not make my bf all hot and sweaty from having that 1 extra blanket on the bed.

 

I am gonna go home and finish it tonight!! Will post pics when I can. Can't wait to finish as this will be my first ever afghan/lapghan (I've only ever made a baby one before)!!!!yay:hook:yarn

I am sending it to my Nan and Pop this weekend as an early Christmas present because they have helped me out in a very special way this week. I'm sure they're gonna love it!!!
