Wool Eater Afghan CAL

Here's a picture of day 1's progress (day 1 is always the most productive day for me) I'm liking the colors so far

Progess has been slow, but only because of a lack of crochet time! Love this pattern...it is easy and unique!

 

 

Your wooleater is gorgeous, love the colors.

 

wow, I love this... Mind if I join??

 

Hey Tracy glad you could join us.

 

Hmmmm, this is really tempting - the thing is I'm actually trying to finish something before starting something else - for once! I have several afghans going already and there's a chance I'll actually complete a couple of them - but this one sure looks fun.

 

Hi Barb, its great to see you, you will love this pattern

 

It is a beautiful spring day here in Nebraska!

Sorry, everyone, I have been MIA! I had a kidney stone which resulted in a visit the er and it took me out for a few days! Not a fun experience.

I was so excited to log in here and see so many joining in!

Stormdrac: Simply soft would be wonderful for this afghan and I can’t wait to see your color choices!

Time to get cracking and make some progress here too! Happy crocheting ladies!

 

Oh you poor thing, hope your ok now. Thanks for starting this thread this pattern is amazing.

 

I received a sign from the yarn gods - the color I needed for the next row on the afghan I've been primarily working on... thought I had another skein in the stash, but I'm fresh out of it. So rather than make a run to the store, I dug in my stash to find some colors to start a wooleater - (I'm just too easy...)

 

I'm trying it with Caron Simply Soft Brites and White

I'm right there with you Darski! I want to make one, but I just can't start something new until I finish some WIPs! Maybe by January I'll have things under control enough to make a Wool-Eater 'Ghan!

[Super Granny]

I showed the wooleater to my sister... I'm making it for my nephew's wedding in August .. she said the tan color matches their couch ... the rusty red and ecru match their throw pillows and the turqouise is her favorite color....

"I will not start one of these"

 

12 times is not enough... if you really want it to sink in it has to be at least 100.

[miss scarlet]

Super Granny i really like the colors you picked. It is very pretty. Iam trying to get some things finished up before doing one of these but i think the temptation is getting to me lol. I think i will be joining soon.

Here is an update on mine. Just wanted to know, can you see that mine is slanting a little bit if you look at the square in the middle up to the orange. Is anyone elses doing this or am I doing something wrong.

The blue really makes those colors pop! I haven't had a problem with twisting, so I am not sure what is happening there.

I haven't tried this yet but I am just wondering if you can turn on every row so it is less likely to start twisting like that.

 

I am doing regular grannies for my charity ghan and I noticed that one was starting to go awry. I just started pulling each corner into place as I worked along to stop that and it is working. Maybe a little straightening after each round will slow that effect.

 

I absolutely love your colours. Beautiful

[bgnagy]

Here's mine through round 14. I think I'm starting to get a little bit of slant too, but I'm just going to carry on.

 

[darski]

Ok guys... we need to get our stories straight. If anybody asks... Darski did not start one of these ghans with a very pretty tangerine colour and a creamy aran yarn. Nope didn't happen

 

:rofl

[Needle Arts]

Definately on my to do list!

[contrary.crocheter]

Barbara: those colors are amazing!! :clapAs I am working on on mine I keep thinking of all the other colors I want to do one in!

 

Darski: I knew the temptation was getting to you!! My lips are sealed but I can't wait to see that thing you are NOT working on!!

Well I finished a ghan for the Charity Along so I had a space on my roster.

 

This is kind of tricky to learn. I was glad to see those tutorial pics she had.
