I started another project!
To all my friends on Facebook, it isn't a surprise that my husband laments my new found love affair with the crochet hook. Simply said, I think he would rather I devote all my attention in his direction... So, I thought I might convert him to crocheting by deliberately making something that would appeal to his love affair with BYU! I know it is shameless, but I just couldn't resist...
It is hard to tell by the picture, but this is a project with hexagons... in BYU blue... After joining my last project, I learned that I can join using the same method as I go. Once I get the third round finished I can just join it with the navy blue yarn onto the afghan... This method works up really quick and I am enjoying the simplicity of working the same hexagon after working with so many different combinations in my last project...
The edge of my afghan is almost complete!!! Yes, I am so excited that I cannot wait to post pictures of it...
I am on the last color... The gray will finish out the afghan's edge once then again with the Picot stitch... I am so happy with how this blanket turned out. It is so snuggly and warm.
I am amazed at how big this afghan is... We have a California King bed and the blanket actually covers almost the entire top, even falling over the side a few inches... I cannot wait to make more of these awesome Granny Square Afghans for all around the house...
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!
