I think mine was larger than 36 inches around. I really went by my lap and, sitting on my couch, the RR I sent covered my lap to my toes. I'm 5'3. I also used my Jimbo chophook, which is about a K.

Oh dear I am sorry to hear about your arm:(

 

does the size come out to more than 36" on the RR?

No babe these are great!! I would rather have a little big then a little small

 

these are just the right size!

 

I think one of my challenge lapghan that we are going to do this next month is going to be one of these RR's I have never made one:)

Hi Sissie! Just wanted to give you a heads up. I put some squares in the mail today, 12 of them, enough for a ghan. I just don't do joining very well, so that's up to you, so sorry! I did mail out another small package with a couple of skeins of yarn that hopefully will be more than enough to join it and then some! I had mail them seperate because I couldn't find anything in the house big enough to fit everything in together, lol! The post office was loving me today!!!

 

 

I have received both of your packages :clap and love the look!! thank you so much for sending the yarn to finish it with that was so sweet:manyheart I have 2 others to put together and then i will get yours finished and pictured

Sissie, you'll love the look of the RR when you make one. They are addicitng...I've made blended ones (2 or more strands and a big hook) and they can be quite beautiful!

You should be getting the lapghan I sent - and a few squares - any day now.

[sissie44]

Morning everyone,

 

Just wanted to share the new pictures of Lapghans that I have added to my crochet blog:)

 

http://sissiescrochetplace.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

 

we are at 20 of 100 now pictured uploaded and ready to go!! I have I believe enough squares here in my home to finish up I know 5 more that are already placed and ready to sew!

 

does anyone here know how to make the "Ryann's Cuddle square? and enjoy doing it? I need 9 more to make a lapghan.

I'm so glad. I must thank you for this project. I have grown as a crocheter. I would have never thought of making RRs. I also learned the rev sc.

 

I have two RRs for you. I would have gotten them mailed sooner, but when I went to the PO they gave me the wrong sized boxes.

 

BTW, what is the correct size ? I wanted to order then online.

 

The RR is a breeze, hop over to the RR CAL board there is a list of different website with patterns, I like Lyn's best.

[judianne]

I use the rev sc on everything!

Taking about the rev sc, would you believe last night is the first time i have ever heard of that stitch! my daughter (windy) called me and asked me how to do it so I had to go looking and found out how to do it:)

was it hard to do?

are you talking about the size for the lapghans? they are 36 X 48 or in the area.

 

thank you so much for helping me with these:manyheart

[sissie44]

is it easy and why do you use it on everything?

[sissie44]

July I received your Lapghan and the extra 3 12" squares today:clap

 

such a pretty lapghan thank you so much for helping me

I will get a picture up soon:)

[judianne]

is it easy and why do you use it on everything?

It's awkward at first, because it's done left to right, but once you've done it enough, it's very easy to do.

I use it on everything because it makes a beautiful, finished look - and I don't often like making either fussy borders or fringe. Have to be in the mood for those...

Great! Remember, the squares in the lapghan were donated to me...but unfortunately, I don't remember by whom!

[jmccrochet]

I would say it is easy ONCE you get the hang of it. Before that it can be soooooooooooo frustrating. So far, I've only used it on two projects: My Army afghan and the Haekelbeutel I just made. I had tried ti once before but couldn't get in the rhythm of going the opposite direction and I got frustrated. Now that I kinda have the hang of it I like it.

Sissie, do you have a picture of the "Ryann's Sq"? Not sure if I know it or not.

 

Who did lapghan 18? I would love to know if that pattern is available. I would love to do scraves with that pattern. All the ghans on your blog are beautiful.

Hey Sissie and others

The website www learncrochetnow.com has a free download on the rev. sc. Look under freebies. After viewing it several times. I was able to add it to the edge of a RR.

Here crochet videos are great as well and not expensive. IMHO
