That is beautiful Gram! So glad you got the picture posted.

 

Mine is still a WIP. I've been on square 50 for the past two days and I'm still not finished with it. All those picots are just flat out boring to do!

Julie are you kidding!!! I am still working on the bowling set for the 2 year old twins, the bath robe for the 2 year old in Houston, and the crayon pillow for the 5 year old in Houston. Oh and when my friends on another board saw my fat bottom bag, at least 3 of them want one. LOL I may never be done. :eek:eek:eek

Crochet_Gram, that afghan is beautiful. I love the purples!!

[renegade]

Gram, your afghan is gorgeous! I really love the white as a contrast to the two purples.

[cupcake]

Gram that is stunning. I too love your colour choice. It is very effective. Well done on completion!

My finished 63 square along. I included some of the squares from Jane Eatons's 200 blocks. Ultimately it was a product of selecting squares I fancied.

Gram -

Well, if you are like the rest of us, you really don't WANT to be totally without a project in mind . You seem to be able to do many at once, which I'm not good at ,but it'd be a horrible feeling to have EVERYTHING done, and no project in mind ... wow ---

[Texapan]

Julie, you are right, I would go nutd without multiple things to work on. I got 2 bowling pins complete, and both fronts and the back of the bath robe done this weekend. I need to spend some serious time on the crayon pillow, it is horrible boring but I have to get it done so.....

[clocke]

I've whip stitched the squares together and am working on the last row of edging around the whole thing. I'm so close to done that I can almost taste it; all I want to do is stay home, sit on my couch and finish it up!

 

...Has anyone ever used up a sick day to finish up a project??

[JulieKay]

Clocke

Good for you ! Make sure to post a photo when done !

Hi!

I had this book for a while, and finally decided to put it in use. So I picked up Red heart soft yarn in 9 colors at my Michaels store's yarn event, and digged in. I can say honestly, I do not like some of the squares, so I am skipping those and pick only the ones I like. I am square four now, and it is # 12 in the book. I also made squares # 5, 7 and 11. I am joining as I go, because I hate it when I have to sew at the end. I have two skeins of each color and hope it will be enough. If not, it is not a very big problem, as it is a no dye lot yarn.

Sorry I did not fill my "join" information, because the link does not work. I am really excited to start working on this afghan. I don't know yet what I am going to do with it. I just couldn't pass on this wonderful color combination - green, browns and oranges - my favorite colors.

Ok, back to stitching!

[gannka]

Update: I made and connected ten squares as of today. Wow, it works. I am very excited. It is now in four colors. I cannot wait to see more colors introduced.

WTG Anna! I have put this on hold for now, I hope to get back to it soon, maybe next week, I'm doing each square in a different verigated! I just hope I can find 63 different verigated yarns in my stash!

[clocke]

Hi Anna. Welcome aboard!

 

Y'all, I'm finally done. Once Blogger gets its act together, I'll post a couple pics.

[gannka]

Thank you for the welcome.

Crystal, it should look really interesting with variegated yarns!

Clocke, congratulations on the finishing your afghan! Cannot wait to see what you've done!

Now there is 13 squares made, with 5 colors. I cannot wait to see more colors introduced. I hope I did a good job choosing the colors and their placement.

Here's the link to my blog where the picture and its fellow resides, entry date being 1.11.06. It should be at the top of the screen seeing as today is Nov 1.

 

And here is the pic itself:

 

The colors turned out much better than I thought when I started. Made me think of fall when I first stretched it out.

Very nice work, Clocke , and congratulations on finishing such a big project !
