63 Squares Crochet Along

[Donna]

aww thanks tiff -- yes that is me

Shall I count you in then, morici?

[Guest morici]

you can count me in -- but i don't guarantee that i'll finish anytime soon

[Donna]

That's okay. I'm being quite the snail myself. :b

I borrowed the book from a friend. I want to follow along on your journey...and I plan to attempt a square or two.

Sounds great, Margaret! :Y

I haven't introduced myself formally, but I wanted to post that I'm joining you! I don't expect this pace to continue, but I have finished the first 2 squares in 2 days. I'm using 5 colors instead of 3, and hopefully you can see them on the web page I made for this project 63 Squares Afghan.

 

I'm so glad I found this crochet along!

[Donna]

Hey, Melissa! Thanks for joining and posting. :-) I believe, if I am not incorrect, that you have the first finished squares of the group!

[Guest morici]

i still haven't received my booklet.

 

i don't know what colors i'm going to use. i'm thinking of doing it in white so that the stitches can be put on display.

[Donna]

I know what you mean. With white/off-white the stitches show so well.

[lissylaine]

I agree! That was my conundrum when going to look for yarn - all of the ombres and fancy yarns looked so pretty. But I knew that the patterns would be so totally lost with those yarns.

 

This is a lot of fun already. I finished up #3 last night. Of course, these are the easy squares so far.

 

I hope you get your book soon, morici!

Hi all!

 

Thanks to Melissa's blog entry I've found you working on this wonderful project! I started mine last year and have about a dozen squares completed in a purple/blue/variegated combination.

 

I'd like to add the button to my blog (annettesacre.blogspot.com) and to my website (Annette's Acre) if that's ok

 

I started when 2 of my co-workers lured me into the fray with their versions (we're all about that far along... )

[Donna]

Hi, Annette! I'm so glad to have you join us!!

 

Yes, please do add the button to your blog. I will add you to the list of crochet-along-ers. Love your blog format, simple and so very pretty.

Hey! we used to live in Mesa Arizona!

Do you live anywhere near Gilbert?

Amber

[annette414]

Hi Amber - We live at Brown/Greenfield, kind of north-central Mesa. Previously we were at Southern/Gilbert, just north of the freeway from Gilbert proper

 

I pulled out my afghan last night and found I've been *much* more productive than I thought I started square #20! Most don't have the second edging on most of them, I'll go back and add it later.

 

Here's a sample of the squares (picture is on the green side...)

Ohh! Looks like my good friend Ocean there, I love that color!

[Donna]

Lovely squares, Annette! :Y

Oooh, I love the colors you're using! If I didnt have so much on my plate already, I would have joined you all in the 63 squares crochetalong...but I have 2 afghans in progress right now as it is And a square swap Im involved in.

 

It looks like it's going to turn out to be quite a lovely ghan!!

Great work, Vera! Lovely!

[Donna]

My first three squares. Haven't blocked them. The little tie at the bottom of each is my marker for right side. I'm using Patons Decor coralberry, pale coralberry, and aran.

 

[Julie]

Very pretty! And it makes me wonder why I'm in here rather than stitching. I have to finish the baby afghan before I can start!!! Grrrrrr...

 

Very pretty Donna. I do love those colors!

[Donna]

Thank you!
