Miscellaneous Afghan CAL

[BarbaraJean]

Well now that I am part of this cal thought I would post some pics of my 2 projects. Hope you like what I have done so far.

 

 

Vanessa, I see your problem. Delete the part I put in red.

[BarbaraJean]

It's so nice to see everybody posting and to hear your progress.

 

So finally after lots of stress and aggrivation i now am back online!! Hooray! And during my internet exile, instead of finishing the christmas afghan, i started a new one (Diamond Trellis)!!! But it is fairly easy and moving along speedily (for me at any rate). 3 motifs complete and the fourth is about 1/3 of the way done. Everyone your creations are beautiful and motivate me to get mine done.

 

 

Welcome back! Would you like the Diamond Trellis added to the CAL?

Hi Everyone

 

I know I "rejoined" this CAL and then have been fairly silent. I have been plugging along on my roses afghan, so I can get to my baby rings afghan, but in between I've had some other projects, including some sewing. Anyway, I have all but 8 squares done for the roses afghan.

 

I've also been reading along the updates that are posted. Way to go everyone! Keep up the good work

I'd love to join this CAL, its my first! I started working on a Granny square afgan with various purples/white. I have about 23 squares finished, and if I did the math right I need about 120 to finish!

ok I resized in photobucket do I need to redo them here also?

You shouldn't have to. Because you link to your photos, whatever size they are there, means they're that size here.

Not to late - this is kind of an ongoing thing. I'll add your name to the first post.

Pop back in as often as possible to report your progress .... or lack of it, to seek encouragement, advice or just to visit.

Be sure to let us know when you've completed the afghan and I will post COMPLETED! beside your name.

No problem. I'll fix it.

Got it!

Since I've completed the Very Victorian afghan I'm adding a new afghan.

I know that some of you have seen my thread concerning the motifs I bought on ebay.

This is the auction picture:

And this is how I plan on joining them:

[gsx2ts4u]

Thanks a bunch.. Its actually going faster then I thought it would. But I am using a J hook and the triple stitch.. doing 6 rows red and 6 black.. no clue how to edge yet.. but I figure I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

Barbara Jean:

I haven't been on-line much (work issue - ugh) so didn't see your e-bay win. But must say...what a great find. I am sure that the person that started that afghan will be dancing with joy when you complete the afghan.

 

I love the edging - I cannot wait to see the finished afghan.

 

As far as my project - I did pick up the hook again, only to set it aside again (to work on a knitting project) but don't count me out...I'm still in this CAL and plan on getting back to my afghan this week !

[BarbaraJean]

The edging is a joining method I learned on the Fresh As A Daisy afghan I made from the Leisure Arts book "Our Best Afghans A to Z"

It sounds like you ladies are making some progress too.

I've added 2 more squares but am feeling so poorly today. I'm watching the Super Bowl alone since I'm sick.

Disneypal, it's great to see you.

[gsx2ts4u]

I hope you feel better soon..

 

any chance you know a site with the best "edging tutorials"?

I don't know of any sites like that but what I do is look through pattern books to see what type of edging or border I like, what might work with my project and go from there.
