LadiBug329 Posted February 8, 2011 Here is progress on one of the RR i've started. This one is actually a re-do blankie for my youngest stepdaughter...i have now fell in love with RRs. The circle to square blanket pattern i was using was just too wonky. The scrap RR I started is on hold until i get caught up on some of these others Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LadiBug329 Posted February 11, 2011 Thats really pretty....love the colors in it! What border did you use? I need to find something for the one I'm working on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
judianne Posted February 11, 2011 Thats really pretty....love the colors in it! What border did you use? I need to find something for the one I'm working on. Thanks! The border is one Crochet Dad (here) shared. I forget what he called it. sc, 2 dc - all in same st. sk 2 stitches, repeat. In the peaks make 3 dc and I just played with the spacing before and after the peaks so it lay flat...trial and error for me. In the valley I skipped 3 stitches to keep it laying nice. Again, whatever works, which is my normal approach to hooking:lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seedstitch13 Posted February 11, 2011 They all look so nice! Judy ~ I love your color combo and the size of the stripes! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sopo Posted February 11, 2011 These are all so beautiful... they make me want to try one and I swore I'd never do another afghan (except squares) as I get bored so easily. I showed my mom thinking she would love the star design but was shocked when she liked Crochet Dad's claret and black one the best. It just sounds soooo hard with 4 strands of yarn!

Ouch - sounds like a Q hook. Thise are hard on my hands unless I take frequent breaks...though the look is always amazing! They all look so nice! Judy ~ I love your color combo and the size of the stripes! Thanks...I've made RRs for years and with each one I am always learning how best to arrange the colors.

Again, whatever works, which is my normal approach to hooking:lol. Judy - it's beautiful. Yea, that's the way I do it too - whatever works. I've seen that stitch combination referred to as the sedge stitch. I really like it. I've also used a modified version which makes it easier to end the corners/valleys in the right spot: sc, dc in same st, sk 1, repeat.

But my hands just couldn't handle that S hook. I made a blended, 2 str Homespun RR, but that didn't even need a Q hook. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LadiBug329 Posted February 13, 2011 Very pretty!! I'm at 48" on my bright colored one. Want it to be 60" finished, so I'm thinking 7 more rows around and then the border. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DebraKay Posted February 14, 2011 here is the other RR i finished last sunday...this is Bernat jacquards Berries n Cream... I love that! What a pretty color combination! I have to try one with this kind of yarn! I have only done them with separate colors. I just got done sewing in all the ends on one afghan for my granddaughter. She picked 6 colors & wanted it striped. So, the thought of using a self-patterned yarn is EXTRA appealing to me right now! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
