How did you put it together? Was it easy? I really struggle with putting things together.

Lynn, that is adorable! Is that what a chapeau 'ghan is?

[eyrthmother1]

Thank you all. the pattern is from Old Timey Scrap Ghans and wasnt that difficult to join. hold two gd's together, and crochet (since it's copyrighted, I can't/won't post directions here, sorry) according to directions to next set, and on up. so only 2 ends per row to weave, but is 36 rows by 24 rows and that times 2. (about as difficult as the sc'ing motif rows together). Then there is the border.

 

As for ALL the gd's, lol. I have been making them since last year. I would stuff containers w/ them w/ ends unwoven. After filling up like 2 coffee tins, I'd get a wild hair and sit n' weave in ends. they also were a traveling task, to take to the office or when i'd have to wait somewhere.

 

The biggest problem was my furr puppy who kept plopping down n the middle while i was crocheting.

[q8_crochet]

:)Late joiner here. But I too need to use up my yarn stash really badly. I've started a fall colored scrap yarn ghan that I'm not sure how it will look, but at least it will keep you warm, lol. I'll have to get it posted in my blog soon.

[sprtsbear]

Thes are the two scrap afghans I made and I still have a bunch of yarn left.

[_Stacy_]

Hey Sprtsbear, they look wonderful!! Great job. How did you do the second one? It looks like trebles to me. I like the open-ness of it.

 

I have decided that I am adding more squares to my scrapghan, so...I frogged the border and am working on squares to add. Hopefully it will be done for Christmas!

[Tia]

Those are great, Sprtsbear!

 

Now how did you get that Granny rectangle so 'straight'? Every time i try to do one large Granny square, it comes out wonky ( the squares start going askew).

 

Here is the scrapghan I'm working on now.

[eyrthmother1]

those are very pretty sprtsbear. congrats on getting 2 done.

[sprtsbear]

On the Granny Rectangle, I turn the work over every row. It seems to keep it straight. The second one is called Sunny Days Afghan. It is done with dc and fpdc.

[Tia]

On the Granny Rectangle, I turn the work over every row. It seems to keep it straight.

 

Thanks!...very interesting...I would have never thought of that. Do you mean every ROUND or every ROW?

[Tia]

n'k...I've started another 3SUB. I'm trying one big Granny square, no holes, and turning after each round. It's too early to tell, but hopefully it'll stay straight for me. ::pray

[sprtsbear]

Yes, I mean't every round.

Isn't it amazing how you'd never think certain colors would look good together, but then they do?
