My New Dish Cloth...

I know, I know... you really don't want to see my new dish cloth...but I had to share since I learned a new style of granny square... I watched a little tutorial on You Tube by the Crochet Geek... It was fantastically easy to follow and I cannot wait to watch more of her awesome little videos... 


So... Big Reveal... Drum Roll Please...

I know the picture stinks... I will try and get a better one soon!

I really am addicted to crocheting... My mother brought me a huge stash of yarn and I am itching to make all sorts of new projects with it... My favorite is this thin wool yarn in natural colors... I think it might become some kind of scarf or shawl in an African flower motif... Well, maybe... I don't know... You will have to wait and see...

I Started...

I started joining my afghan last night! 

I actually started joining it about a week ago with the method Debi suggested in the comments below. After adding the row of single crochet around just one square I set it aside and just could n't get into it... I love the style, but the thought of going around all 50 squares with a layer of single crochet stopped me in my tracks...


Then Saturday, as I sat working on yet another project, my husband asked me when I was going to finish "all those squares." I defended myself by saying I was overwhelmed with the method I chose and he looked at me as if I was talking jibberish... 


This conversation made me realize that I certainly didn't have to join my afghan the way I had planned and set me into motion. Last night, I  YouTube'd how to join granny squares and found this other method...I only watched the second video and was on my way... and before bed I had my first row stitched together... this morning I added four more squares before heading to work... 


I am so excited! I might actually get this thing done after all!
