Homespun Afghan

[labcrazyland]

OK, I am trying my hand at Homespun for the first time, and making the 4 1/1 hr afghan pattern that is on cpc.com. I count my stitches evry couple rows to make sure I am not missing anything. After the first row it is really pretty easy!!!!

 

My question is this . . . It looks like it may need blocked a little when done, is this normal for homespun? I know I am not the best crocheter, so my tension is prob not consistent. Also, I did the beginning chain like it said, but it is about 6 inches shorter than it says it should be??? Did I maybe chain to tightly? Not sure????

ok well you might be a little tighter stitcher..

 

but i dont think 6 inches makes a huge difference

[labcrazyland]

OK, it makes me feel sooo much better to hear an "accomplished" person say that! !

 

I am kinda glad it's not real big, as I want to make it for a friend that's in chemo now. I thought maybe she could use a comfort ghan, and this way it will be more of a lap-ghan!

 

Thanks Elizabeth!

i think they give you a guide honestly.. i dont think 6 inches is that much a difference to be all worried .. and of course the recipient wont know how big its "supposed" to be anyway LOL .. i am glad i could help out
