Miscellaneous Afghan CAL

[BarbaraJean]

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.

 

Okey dokey!

Candy, I love your Shocking Pink ripple afghan. I just happen to be using the Bon Bon Candy Variegated in my afghan now. I love that yarn color. Your afghan is so pretty and colorful. You daughter is going to love it.

[tahlara]

Candy - The ripple afghan make me cross eyed in a good way! It's great combination of optical colors.

I'm going to make two afghans from the Herschnerr's blue ribbon afghan book as christmas presents. I'm making the Pinwheel afghan and the Cowboy Blues afghan.

 

Has anybody seen the 'more herrschnerr's blue ribbon afghans' book? I just saw it at Joann's. It's got some really stunning stuff in it.

I *just* looked at it today and almost bought it - that white baby afghan is drool-worthy. However, the $25 price tag wasn't justifiable, as there were SO MANY afghans that were knit, cross-stitched, etc.

[Yaviiniia Loenla Enath]

I'm hoping somebody will get it for me for christmas.

Last night I finally put the last of the fringe on the blanket for my neice. I'm done!!

 

I can't believe how long it took to do this. I've been working on it on and off since December. It's just one of those patterns that works up slow even though it looks like it would be fast.

 

Here's the finished product. Now I just need to get an address to mail it to her at grad school.

For my diagonal texture blanket - did few rows in new color - this time deep sky blue. I do this blanket while I watch tv which is not often. Once I finish this color, I will take a pic, probably end of this month.

I apologize for not checking in more often. We've been busy getting our first son ready to go away to college.

That is sooo pretty! I know she's going to love it! I'll update the first post to show that it's completed. Congratulations!

Looking forward to seeing your pics.

Thanks, I did more rows last night - already halfway a skein so far. I have a lot of tv hours ahead of me.

Is it too late to sign up for this. I am new and am working on two afghans right now a ripple and a granny.

[BarbaraJean]

Hi lannoe! Welcome to C'ville!

It's not too late. Happy to have you.

Post back with the name of your afghans and I'll add your name and projects to the first post. Pop in whenever you can and report on your progress. I'll add "COMPLETED!" with a link to pics (if provided) of your project when you are finished.

There is a CAL button in the first post if you would like to use it for your blog, MySpace, etc.

Hello? Anybody home ?

 

It sure has been quiet around here this week. What's everyone been up to?

[tahlara]

I finished the sky blue part of my diagonal blanket. I uploaded the pic to the computer other day. I am waiting on a better time to take more pictures and upload on computer. I believe I will share the diagonal blanket picture on this thread. (At least the lastest update as it will be a while before I can finish this blanket)

[tcarebear]

I'm almost done the baby blanket I've been working on. Just a few more rows of the edging left. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to post the pictures though!

[Bizzyboppers]

Ok...no I haven't finished the carribbean sunrise blanket yet...but please sign me up for another one called "Grand Squares" blanket. It's a wedding gift..so this one will actually get done in a timely manner.

I sewed all the squares this weekend that I had made for my Zinna afghan. I have over 1/2 of it done now with all the squares put together. What a job!!!! :eek There are a lot of 3" squares.....but I made it through the sewing for now until I get more squares crocheted. :clap

 

I was so lucky to have the whole house to myself on Saturday. I did laundry and house cleaning and I made some cards for Thanksgiving as well as the sewing and crocheting. I accomplished so much....of course...I had my Aerosmith CD's blasting so I got through the housework quickly. lol

[tahlara]

My diagonal blanket seduced me another night. So I am doing white next, just few rows of it. I guess I will take a picture of it when I am done with the white.

[tcarebear]

I started a new afghan this weekend (well, a few new afghans, I must be out of my mind:loco )! Anyway, I'm using rh in a blue and brown camo color. I couldn't really find any patterns that looked nice when worked up in that color so I'm just doing a basic sc, ch 1, repeat. It's actually working up really nice though.

 

Does anyone know of any patterns that look nice with the variagated colors? Please let me know!!!

You know what? The zinnia afghan I am working on now is with some variegated yarn. I am using Bon Bon. It is so pretty. I saw a pattern that was a ripple that used the camo colored variagated that I want to make for my husband for hunting season. I have to look in my book and post which one it is in. I would love to see yours.

I've been a bit absent from this thread, but I finally finished my afghan for my boyfriend and I gave it to him yesterday! You can see my post about it here.

[tahlara]

Did more rows of white on diagonal blanket. It feels soothing doing this blanket, kinda meditative while watching tv. I think it become one of my favorite crochet projects.

 

I love the basketweave blanket! What is the pattern, littlewriter?

That's beautiful! I can definitaly see how you would now hate the basketweave stitch! It came out so nice though, really worth the effort! Job very well done!
