is this not the most beautiful thing ever?

 

Thank you Rachel. You are now my bestest friend for helping me to find this. :dreaming

 

Seriously, I really do love this ghan.

[neicy crochets]

Beautiful! :c9 :c9

You going to post pics after you make it, Darski? :devil :devil

[crochetluvknot]

very pretty but little squares scare me lol they take me forever to put together

[Yaviiniia Loenla Enath]

It is pretty, but that's going to be a lot of ends! What color are you going to make it?

[livedinalaska]

It's gorgeous!

[champygirl]

Very pretty.

Yeah... those ends... hmnnn

 

I was thinking that a nice soft pink would be good. I need to think about this because I promised myself I would not make anything larger than a scarf.

 

It is just so gosh darn pretty.

go for it darski, you would do it such justice. (and it IS getting chilly these days, so would help to keep you warm )

Darski, look at it this way: each square is significantly smaller than a scarf ()! And the afghan is beautiful ()! It will look so elegant draped across your sofa - or you ()!

Good thinking. You must be a real helper when writing resume's.

It's kinda funny that you say that because I was a technical writer. But I didn't like to do resumes - or proposals - because I would not lie by omission or commission () and I'd butt heads with my management all the time!

 

I just wanted to give you a different way to look at your afghan ()! Although, 111 squares? To quote one of my younger friends: "Girl, I don't know if you want to go there!" But, you do such beautiful work! I'm sure that your afghan will be gorgeous (:2hug)!

[/url] Thank you Rachel. You are now my bestest friend for helping me to find this.

 

I'm such an enabler, I know.

 

I am personally in love with this one (it came out months ago).

[Warrior Maiden]

That afghan looks gorgeous! I so want to do it....after I do this one....only 1 (and I mean it) WIP at a time.

Rachel,

 

I think that you should have written "enabler" in all CAPS ()! You gotta stop posting these links - ! (Well, OK, maybe one more ... )

[RoseRed]

That is GORGEOUS!

[parisjem]

Very nice. I really like the way the sides look.

 

You could make it in a Baby Blanket size.

:lol It's really beautiful and I'd love to make one of those but I just can't stand making motifs. Please let us see your progress as you succumb to your addiction.

Now this is funny considering that you are the star of the Vintage Cardigan with all those little motifs.

 

I think I might just make a lapghan from this. That way I get to make it but not all those squares.

[ldyer1]

If you let me know the yarn you are using and color, the gauge you get for a square, I might be convinced to send some finished squares your way, ends tucked and all.

Why what a sweetheart you are

 

I am planning to use good old Red Heart in their light Pink.

 

I thought I had worked out the numbers for a lapghan but it would be too small my way...

 

My practice squares - not in RH pink (but fleck) came out to 6 inches on the diagonal and 5 inches straight up. I have to try it in my pink before I can say for sure

[darski]

Well, well, well. With the Pink and a 6.5mm hook (for comfort) I have been getting 7 inches across the diagonal. who knew?

Me? Stop posting links?

 

Can't. There would be riots in the streets.

RachelG,

Your link has me wanted to do that afghan as well. It is beautiful. Being an enabler isn't always a bad thing you know.

[LeslieG]

darski why don't you just do 1 row of squares in a nice soft yarn and use it for a skarf. It would make a beautiful one.
