Miscellaneous Afghan CAL

[jmccrochet]

I didn't think this was ever going to happen, but I finished the leaf afghan. I made 25 12-inch squares, used Drew's Dudessembly method to put it together, then crocheted 20 squares and hooked them into the border to act as fringe. I couldn't get a great picture, but here it is

I would like to join if I still can... I want to be added with the Blue Star Afghan (the CAL is rather dead) out of Herrschners Blue Ribbon Afghans. Thanks!

[jmccrochet]

Of course you can. As long as I can keep this thread going and people interested we're open for new members. I added the Blue Start Afghan to the bottom of the second post. Keeps us updated.

Jessica -

I have made the Blue Star (well, actually I expanded it and it is still in progress - see my avatar).

 

If you are the kind of person that needs an accurate pattern, i don't recommend this one. It requires a lot of fudging, even if you have the pattern corrections. I would highly recommend you read through the Blue Star CAL (I know it's long.) to see more.

[jessicagil]

Krystal I have read through the book thousands of times. My mom bought the book when she first saw it years ago & I stole it from her a few years ago. I read through the CAL a few times already as I was watching it from afar. I noticed some fudging had to be done with the 13th row of the middle star. Doing the granny blocks is a bit annoying but I'm happy to finally be able to try it out. At the very least I'll get a lapghan out of it if I can't go past adding the granny blocks to the star. I hope it works out for me.

I didn't get any done over the weekend, but last week I did about 6 rows! Hoping to make some more progress this week I will post a new photo soon, it's shaping up nicely!

Joyce what a great job you did, I know you have been waiting for me to complete the squares from the spring time secret pal into a ghan, I keep looking for the right color to border all of them and then thought why not use two colors one dark for the lighter color squares and a light color for the darker squares. After seeing your assembly I am going to go forward as it looks great in the pictures you shared Thanks for the inspiration

[jmccrochet]

Oh, i'm so excited that you've decided. I wouldn't dare pester you about getting that done. It's your project. I just can't wait to see the assembly. I wasn't sure about using the two colors but I really like how it turned out. Can't wait to see yours. What two colors will you use? right back at you friend!

That is going to be so beautiful!!

Jessica, I really love the 'Daisy Ghan'. Where do you get the pattern ?

 

For my diagonal car blanket, I didn't do much on it. I managed to do few more rows on it. I got all the yarns to finish the blanket. At least, it's the decreases all the way. It's huge! I will work more on it when I get back on track with other CALs.

[JesseCat]

Jessica,

 

Thank ghan is so unusual...I like it much better than the starghans. Your colors are beautiful too. Where did you get the idea from? Is it a different pattern??? Good work....

It is a charity square you can get from krochetkrystal.blogspot.com

It is the Blue Star afghan from Herrschners Blue Ribbon Afghans book. The colors are in my stash at ravelry.

Whoops, I actually ask the question toward the Jessica who make a blanket with daisy hexagons and ripples. (vcufashion419)

 

I saw Krystal's Daisy square on her charity blog. It's on my WIM list for ages!

 

I did about 2 rows on the car diagonal blanket. It's too huge for me to breeze thru the crocheting. When I finish the color section (1/3 way thru it), I might try to find my digital camera. It will take me few days to finish this section.

hi!!! i actually got the pattern out of a leisure arts book #3338, "40 Favorite Ripple Afghans". I bought it after doing my first ripple blanket about a year ago for my niece. There are so many pretty ghans in there!!!!

 

I'm going to work on it some more today !

[vcufashion419]

this thread has been quiet for awhile!! everyone check in!!!!

 

i have to admit i havent been doing too much on mine.....hopefully will get to it this week!

[jmccrochet]

Thanks for the bump Jessica. I was away last week and don't have any progress to report on afghans though I do have two I need to start. I may do that tonight (I got caught up making the Haekelbeutels but need to start those afghans).

Finished "Simon's afghan" and a lapghan for charity:

 

[vcufashion419]

wow! those look great!!

[tahlara]

I did the sage green section on my diagonal blanket. I moved onto the brown section, 1/3 thru way so far. Unfortunately, I don't have a chance to find my digital camera. I am still out of town until tomorrow. I will try to find my camera and take a picture of my progress. I am already more than 50% done!

[jessicagil]

I havent really worked on mine. Been busy with chairty.

[losingmymind2]

I'm working on the first of two afghans for our friends twin grandsons. One will be alternating strips in widths of 3 rows, 2 rows pattern and the other will be either 1 or 2 rows of each color.

[jmccrochet]

Those look great Deb. Sorry I missed this post. Will update second post shortly.
