63 Squares Crochet Along

[charmingly_wicked]

I have just recently started this afghan. I also sent a request to be added to the crochet a long. I don't have a blog, but maybe they will let me in anyway! I am excited about finishing. This is the first thing I have crocheted by reading a pattern. And without any help, or without being shown how!

Having a blog isn't a requirement but it's pretty easy to set one up if you ever want a place of your own to show off your work

 

I've only done the first square and it's managed to walk off so now I need to hunt it down. This one's on the back burner while I finish my pillowghan CAL and my babyghan.

Thanks Anne, I just happen to have that book!

Dive right in! There's a link with a pic of the book on the very first post, if you still aren't sure which one it is.

I know I said I was going to do this ages ago, but I let my book to someone at work and she's not done with it yet I guess it will be a while longer before I can start.

CHATTY: You definitely don't need a blog to join a CAL. You can easily set up a FREE account at <http://www.photobucket.com> if you want to store pictures that you want to link to your posts.

 

I'm on #55 but I've been working on it since October '04. I had to frog this square 3 times to get it to size, but I'm almost there! YAY

That afghan is just beautiful ! I like the colors and you did such a nice neat job on it !

I need to get my rear in gear and get busy on mine !

[JulieKay]

Hi Busyfingers

I have 2 questions about your afghan --

Who was your helper

and

Who gets to keep the blanket ?

I thought maybe you'd start on another one now so you could each have one !

This is just beautiful! Congratulations:yay

A BIG Thank You to all for the compliments:hug

 

Anne, the colors used were Caron Perfect Match: Rose, Sage and Cream.

 

JulieKay, although I would love to take credit for creating the whole blanket, I must admit that I was the helper. The afghan was started by my friend Judy, who is much more experienced than I and taught me so much about crocheting. Judy will be keeping the blanket at her country home and promised me that I can have visitation rights. Right now, I don't think that making another 63 square afghan is anywhere in the horizon. We have other projects that need completing and will be posting them soon. thanks to all!

Hi Terri

I'll be watching to see what other projects you post in here. It sounds like the 63 blanket was a great learning experience for you .

Now you need to tackle the 63 MORE SQUARES blanket, with your friend's help , and she can visit it at YOUR house ! LOL

And everyone can flog me with wet noodles if the answers are in the previous 114 pages of posts that I don't want to go through and read

 

Everyone here and in cyber/blog world seems to be doing this CAL. How do you know what to do for your 63 squares? What were the dates for the CAL?

Hi Sara

I don't think there are any set dates for this, it seems to just go on and on, with more people signing up all the time .

Here's a link to the main page that lists the book with the 63 squares , which can be found at most Walmarts . There's also a list of all the people involved, etc .

Hope you decide to join in and if so, let us know what colors you choose, etc .

What do I do??? :(

I sooo need to join the Crocheters agains UFO's CAL, but the 63 Squares are calling me like a Siren calls a sailor to his doom...

Sara

Follow the lighthouse to the 63 squares-- then you can add it to the UFO project as a combo . That'swhat I need to do ! LOL

Good luck with whatever choice you make .

[topperarnold]

Hmmm. Very good strategy . Let'see, I have the "mad money" I made from tutoring this week, a day off tomorrow....

 

 

I will post my color choices tomorrow.

 

Sara

[JulieKay]

Great choice, Sara !

Can't wait to see what colors you choose !

 

[JulieKay]

Yoohoo Penny

Did you join the list ?

[unicorn37757]

Yes, I joined!

[topperarnold]

I'm jealous, Penny! It's taking me forever to make "villager", and I've been here longer. I better find stuff to talk about. LOL.

 

Actually, between this CAL and the UFO call (and another thread about evil yarn companies who ignore crocheters), I'll be there before I know it!

[Chatty]

My color choices are Claret, Ecru and Hunter Green from RH SS, if I ever finish this pineapple pillowghan in Amethyst for that CAL
