Stained Glass Window Afghan Cal????

[cancrochet]

Thank you for the compliments everyone. This was a very fun afghan to make, and my second one is just as fun. I've been able to condense my scrap yarns down to one box from two, so I'm making progress!

I'm not sure. I finished mine February 18th. I will eventually make a second one, I just don't know when.

wasn`t it fun and fast and easy??

i wanna some encourgement

I'm working on my second one now. The more you work on this one, the strips seem to be done a lot faster. I have four strips done on my second one now and it's only been a couple of days. Since I work full-time, I don't get much time to crochet, so getting an afghan done that fast says a lot about how fast this one goes.

 

I haven't cuddled up with my first one yet, but it does seem pretty warm. Using a heavier yarn like bulky weight or using a more solid stitch should make it even warmer.

I really enjoyed working on this afghan. I may have to get some more yarn though. I have one afghan and a sweater to make before I can make another one of these.

wow

you are amazing

4 strips in 2 days

i may be need 4 for mine but i`ll make them 5

and i need it as throw more than afghan

i`m working on specific colours i`ve chose to be girly light one so it isn`t randomly or just useing my left overs to get red of it

and i`ve swiched the black border with off white to be lighter

 

LaurieE

can`t wait to see you starting

[LaurieE]

It may be the fall before I start the second one. I've finished a third of the afghan I'm currently working on and then it's on to the sweater I promised to make for my daughter.

[q8_crochet]

ok i`m working hard today

i want to finish it in the coming 3 days at the most

This is day 2 home from work with a stomach virus. I'm feeling better than I did yesterday. I didn't get any crocheting done in my down time, I've been so sick. But I did manage to get a photo of the finished afghan on Sunday night, just didn't post it. I ended up putting a trim around it (although I didn't get a photo of the trim). I'm glad I'm done with this one. I did like the half dc's around the panels rather than dc's.

donna thats absolotly awsom

how long it take you to make one panel??

i`m sorry to hear that you are sick

[MsSunflwr]

q8_crochet - Thanks for your compliment. On average, I could complete a panel in two evenings (crocheting after work, cooking dinner, etc.). I did think the pattern was written a little unclearly and I guess I tweaked it a bit and just did a v stitch rather than the 2 dc's between the spaces of the previous rows. This gave it a more solid look in my opinion and a great texture, similar to knitting with huge hooks. I am quite pleased with the completed afghan. Now if I only had time to make myself one.

[q8_crochet]

all of those awsom afghans weren`t yours??

oh you should make for your self one

[bobwilson123]

nina kate ~ that looks fantastic

[cancrochet]

Nina_Kate, you afghan is beautiful! I love how the colors look on your afghan.

 

I'm thinking of doing all dc for the strips on my next one. It will make a more solid afghan and may help to use my my scraps faster!

Hi all! can I still join this CAL? I started a slight variation on this pattern last night and i'm really liking it! I'm using DC for the rows, I started the way the pattern called for, but I felt like it was too open.

 

I'm at work for another half hour or so, but when I get home ill post a picture of what I have done so far.

This is a great way to use up those skiens of yarn that I only have one of and that don't match anything else!

[LaurieE]

Jessica, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to join in. This is such a fun and fast afghan to make. I've already finished one and will probably be starting a second one in a few months.

[q8_crochet]

[stargazingirly]

aww thanks everyone! I think ill give it to my grandma when its done, she's always cold on the couch when I see her! Plus she lets me stay at her house whenever I go home! I hope she likes it!!

[stargazingirly]

For people who have made this... anyone have a guess of how many ounces of yarn it would take to make a twin size of this afghan? any guess is fine... I just want to have a rough idea if I have enough yarn to make it that big!
