Cat Afghan Square for Cat Afghan CAL

[CrochetLiving]

I had no idea you were teaching the Pineapple Shawl class - I would've joined that one {they need to make a pouty face}

 

I believe I will be doing the class again. All my students made gorgeous shawls and were very proud of them!

[CrochetLiving]

Will you be teaching your shawl class again? I was taking the advanced filet class and knew I couldn't take 2 classes at the same time.

 

Whenever Amy and Donna say we can do another class, I will welcome you with open arms. Your Filet piece must be beautiful!

Did I miss getting the chart or has it not been posted yet?

[mamaoso]

Can't wait to get started.. I've been waiting to get a Crochet project started..

One question: How do you join them granny style. Is there a place to find out how to do it??

 

Thanks.

I was wondering the same thing.

[contrary.crocheter]

I love the way these look joined together. I can't wait to get started!

You didn't miss the chart! I am posting it soon. My pineapple shawl class is still in progress.

 

I am going to post the chart only on my blog. Then for the Cat Afghan CAL, I'll give all the extra instructions so that anyone needing graphing help will be able to get it there in real time. Also the granny edging and put-together will be in the CAL, so that again everyone can make it together. Also I think that it will be more fun this way.

 

If anyone has any suggestions or input, please feel free to let me know.

 

The CAL will be for those who have graphed or want try the graphing technique with sc. The blocks are small enough to learn on, so if you make a mistake, not too much in the way of frogging!

 

Also, as I said I have the row count planned out.

Ooooh I love it!! I may just have to join in that CAL!!

[CrochetLiving]

This looks so tempting. I've never done a graph in SC before. I am currently working with color changes in Tunisian so I should be able to adapt that to SC pretty easily. My wife would really love this afghan because she just loves cats...

 

I hope you do participate! I find sc graphing much easier than tunisian. And you'll have your wife purring under her new kitty cat afghan!

Yes I think you talked me into it...I'll be looking for the start of the CAL!

[CyM]

I've never worked in two colors with crocheting before. What does the back look like?

[mamaoso]

Okay, thanks.. I like the look..

Can't wait to get started....

[dvas]

I'm definitely doing this! I have a cat-crazy 7-year-old daughter who would love this.

 

Maria, you got me through the pineapples, so the cats shouldn't be too bad

This is the reverse side of the afghan. As you can see there is very little weaving in. Most of the yarns are hidden as you crochet.

 

[LaurieE]

That's comforting to see. At least we won't have all those lines of yarn like in knitting.

[SmileGirl]

I would love to participate. Do use reverse sc?

This pattern uses sc and dc. If you wanted to do a round of reverse sc you could, but the pattern isn't written for it.

Yay! I can't wait to make it now! I love for things to be reversible.
