Miscellaneous Afghan CAL

[Yaviiniia Loenla Enath]

I really need to get a photo of the Patriot's Picnic afghan (and I'm really sorry I haven't done it yet!!!). And, I now have two entire squares punched! I think I will punch-as-I-go, Candy. Thanks for the tip! And your sage-green afghan is beautiful, by the way (and now I want to make one of those, too! we must have similar tastes LOL).

Pictures!

Here it is folded up:

 

and here it is all spread out:

 

another one spread out, but oriented vertically this time:

 

What am I supposed to do with it until it's cold enough to use? at the moment it's residing under my pillow, but I don't think that's very good for it.

Yaviiniia Loenla Enath - your afghan came out great! I love those grannie ghans.

[BarbaraJean]

Oh my gosh! I have so much catching up to do on this thread - several pages I think! Okay, going to get started now.

Hi Barbara, here is the Sea Ripple, finally.

 

 

And a close up. I used a simple pattern out of the 200 ripple book. And some Moda Dea flip Yarn for the fuzzies. The varigated is a Caron Rainbow.

 

 

Way to go! It's beautiful! I'll update the first post.

 

Progress on Dad's afghan and sweet dreams baby afghan

Making great progress, Rox!

 

All your afghans look great!

 

As for the baby blanket I'm working on...well, I kind of hit a slump. It feels like it's taking forever. I usually make baby blankets with worsted weight yarn but this time I'm using sport weight and it seems to be working up very slowly. The girl I am making it for had her baby shower already with no blanket from me. At least the baby isn't due till the 4th of August. I need some major encouragement to get this thing done.

 

I'll try to get some pics up sometime but I'm in the process of moving so I don't know when I'll get to it.

 

This kind of encouragement? Or this kind of encouragement? Seriously, I know what you mean. Sometimes I just tell myself I'm not "allowed" to work on anything else until the dreaded project is finished. Good luck!

It's beautiful! I'm so glad you posted pictures! I'll link the first post here so that others can see your pics.

Okay, updates have been made to the first post. If anybody sees that I've missed something on your progress please let me know.

As for my progress - I didn't crochet a stitch while on vacation!

I finished my Friendship Rings Afghan yesterday. It is going to be donated to Hospice this week. I started another afghan too that I am going to call Zinnias Granny.

 

 

This is bright and cheerful made with teal, fushia, hot pink, and mint. I rubber stamped a tag with a bunny and bear hugging with the name of the afghan, where I live, and I put given with a hug on the tag. Everyone who saw this afghan wanted the pattern. I am the type of crocheter who is "have hook will travel" and take my projects everywhere. Thanks.

[tahlara]

Wow, the blanket look so beautiful Carol! I also want the pattern.

 

Good job!

[Gingerbeary]

Diane: It is from Easy Weekend Afghans...It is a hard cover book. Hope you have it!!! It works up very quickly and easily.

Carol, that is absolutely fabulous. It looks difficult too. Is going to be given to a hospice patient or sold? I'll update the first post and add your new afghan.

[Gingerbeary]

Thank you Barbara for updating my afghans. It is going to be given to a patient. I am going to give it to our local hospice office and let the visiting nurse there pick who she would like to give it to.

That's such a wonderful thing to do!

I'm going to be working up some vegetables that have been given to me from some friends' gardens but hope to get time to work on my projects today.

I am so in!!!! I have about a million wips, I don't even know which one to start with. I think it'll be a baby blanket I'm working on. It's so pretty, I can't wait to see it all done. I'm using a pattern from absolutely georgeous baby afghans book number 4 in a dusty rose simply soft yarn. That has to be one of my favorite yarns for baby stuff. Anyway, as soon as I figure out how to post pics while I'm at work, I will! By the way, how do you guys get all that fun stuff in your signatures? I don't really have time at work to go through everything and figure it out.

 

Happy Hooking!!

I really like how that turned out, Jessica. Everybody needs to click on the pic to see the large version to really appreciate how beautiful that is!

[stargazingirly]

aww thanks so much barbara!

[Gingerbeary]

What a pretty baby afghan, Jessica. The shell stitch is very pretty and makes the afghan look soft and delicate. Good job. Thanks for sharing.

Hi! Just wanted to say that I'm so proud of everybody! I was just looking at the first post, and since the beginning of this cal, there are 45 completes! (I think I counted right, now I have to go back and re count). Still, so proud of all of you!!

It's amazing, isn't it, how much has been accomplished!

I have completed the Shocking Pink Ripple Afghan for my daughter. She picked out these colors.......and they do funny things to your eyes when you look at the blanket:blink

[stargazingirly]

I love the bright ripple Candy, They are very cool together!

You daughter did a great job putting the colors together! And you did a great job on the ripple! I'll update the first post.

Barb put me down for the Plum Granny ripple from the 100 Crochet Projects book. I'm going have that one as a WIP for a while.
