Crocheted Granny Stripe Afghan

This is the Granny Stripe Afghan that I'm working on as part of the Granny Gone Wild Crochet Along.  Is anyone crocheting along with me???

There is a link to my tutorial for this afghan over on my sidebar.  For this afghan my beginning chain is 237.  The beginning chain needs to be a multiple of 3.  It will go across my king sized bed with a bit of hang on each side.

I am using 18 different colors of yarn (so far), and I've started to repeat them.   I'm not sure how long the afghan will finish.  I love scrap afghans and quilts, but it's hard to gauge the finished size.  So I may have to raid my stash for a few more balls of yarn.

Here is a close up of the colors.  I really love this pattern and how this is looking. 

If you are crocheting along with our Granny Gone Wild crochet along, I hope you will post your photos on the Flickr group here. 

Happy Crocheting! 

Thanks for stopping by for a visit! 

Pink and Brown Crochet

I've had this pink and brown variegated yarn for awhile now.  OK.  Truth is I've probably had it almost 2 years.  I have just been in the mood to crochet an afghan, so I've started one from this yarn.  I know it is nearly summer, but this way I'll have the afghan finished for this fall and winter. 

The  pink and brown variegated yarn is Classic Worsted Impressions by Universal Yarn, Inc.  I bought it at Knitting Today up in Wolcottville, Indiana or you can find it at Universal Yarn or by a google search.  The other 3 colors of brown/tan are from my stash.  I believe that they are Cascade yarn. 

I've started the afghan today in between doing other things.  In a day or two I'll show you my progress.

Crochet, relax, smile.  Repeat!  

Thanks for visiting. 

Granny Stripe Blanket

This is a new project that I started a couple of days ago.  It is called Granny Stripe Blanket, and I can't take credit for this pattern.  It is over on Lucy's blog, Attic 24.  This pattern is easy and you can find the link to it over on the left side of her blog.  Once you get your base chain done and the first couple of rows, it is easy sailing.  I think a repetitive pattern like this is relaxing to do. 

I'm using Cascade Superwash yarn, and these are the colors that I plan to use.   

Then this hexagon is a pattern that I found through Ravelry.  I think this would be a good use for the "leftovers".  I found a couple of mistakes in the pattern for this the way it was written, and I need to make a couple more of these so I can write instructions on how to join them together.  So I'll post that pattern here....and I promise I won't wait another 2 months before I post again. 

Hope you are finding some time to crochet or knit today.
