I'm in love ... with an afghan

[darski]

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.

 

This is true but you would lose that look of all the edges forming that criss-crossed look that you get over a large surface :dreaming.

 

I made three squares in about 15 minutes yesterday in the pink yarn and I am getting a larger square (6.5mm hook) so I don't think the 111 squares will be that big a deal to get made. I just played with the math and I can get the full squares done in less than 10 hours of crochet. (well there is the need to go get more pink yarn ) Don't y'all feel so bad for me over that one?

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.

 

I'll just tell everyone I'm a helpful enabler.

 

My mom loves the pansy afghan as well. She'd love it if I had the time to make it.

Ooh, I love that afghan, too, Darski! thanks for posting the link. Just connect them in long strips, and it'll feel like you're just making scarf after scarf after scarf. Me, I don't mind joining squares. I find it soothing, somehow. Yea, I know, weird. What can I say? That's me, weird. Patty

Personally, I hate joining squares, but they're great take-along projects! You can easily work on an afghan anywhere if all you're making is squares.

 

(Just in case you needed another reason to make it!)

Less than 100 full squares to go. i just did a bunch while visiting for tea and I might even have a home for the finished afghan...

You go Girl!!!! Can't wait to see some pics.

We'll be your cheering section!!!!!!

Well I have 3 rows together

 

Of course, since it works on the diagonal that is only 9 squares.

 

I just discovered that I will have to work in all the ends on individual squares because sl st won't cover them...

 

anyway, I have 25 full squares and 1 half square made and as I said, three rows put together.

 

I think my next post will be in the show and tell thread though. (Whenever that may be)

I am not ambitious enough to try my hand at an afghan yet, but OH those PANSIES! RACHEL! They are my very favorite flower. How BEAUTIFUL! Why couldn't I fall in love with a ghan marked "easy"? (((((HUGS))))) sandi
