Something fun and new for me! I've never done a crochet along before, but when I saw this gorgeous afghan on the Cherry Heart blog it was love at first sight! As soon as we got home from NYC I scurried off to to Hobby Lobby and picked out my colors....
I'm using "I Love This Yarn" I love the way it feels and it was on sale this week. Bonus!
I'm all organized too! I made myself color swatches...
And put together a notebook to put the pattern pages into each week...
When the instructions came out on Tuesday for the first 18 rows, I got right to work. By Wednesday morning I had them finished....
Now I am impatiently waiting for next Tuesday when the next set of instructions is released. I can't wait to see where this goes!
Beautiful colors! you are so organized, I still have to print mine and buy the yarn. I haven't decide on colors and brand, right now I'm working on a blanket using Stylecraft and love how soft and light this yarn is... Your yarn looks so nice, how does it compare to Vanna's choice?
ReplyDeleteI love how your blanket looks so far - colors and the design! I always think that I should join the "a-longs" when I hear about them, but after two failed quilt a-long attempts so far - well, unfinished, anyway- I have to say no :) I'll just watch your progress from afar.
ReplyDeletebeautiful colours and you have really done a great job of the first set of rows...
ReplyDeleteOoh Ellyn that looks gorgeous. I may have to heck it out. I also love "I love this Yarn". Very soft and washes well. I don't have an afghan project at the moment. I have just finished one for Gavin.
