I've got just a couple of more rounds to go on the blanket then a scalloped boarder I'm thinking to make it a bit more girly. My only problem is this yarn..or the lack of it I seem to be having.
This is all I can find at the moment and did I keep the wrapper..no. Have I been all over creation looking for this yarn..yes..any luck..none. I haven't given up yet, I feel sure that I'll be able to put my hands on some. I do have two more boxes of stash that I haven't looked at yet and one more store to visit. If it doesn't work I'll have to make an executive decision and move on. No time to let it hold me back.
Here's where I am right now.
On the reading side, I really like Karin Slaughter but this one was a bit hard to read in the beginning. It's based in Atlanta in the early 70's and deals with women on the Police force, men being 1970 knuckle dragging men but like most of her books they have a better ending.
Wish me luck or at least cross your fingers with me and hope for the best. I've got a couple of projects waiting in the wings and this UFO has been hanging around a bit too long for comfort.

A Granny Square afghan is on my Create Some Day List. I love the pattern! Maybe in zig zags? I hope you find that yarn to finish. I always worry that I won't have enough of a color and won't be able to find more. I tend to over buy. What's the worst that happens? I have more yarn to do something else with !LOL
ReplyDeleteThe love the granny square type patterns especially with the different colors, I guess it brings me back to my roots, it's the first pattern I learned but updated with the newer colors. I always seem to over buy, that's why the stash is so out of hand! Not that I'm complaining but it's time to move some things out and make room for new.. Granny's are also great watching tv or travel patterns for me. Once you start you'll love them forever. Good Luck!

ReplyDeleteI'm mid-crochet on a giant granny square afghan in watermelon colors. I always tend to get more yarn than I need because I'm afraid of running out. Good luck!

I love the idea of watermelon colors! I keep saying I want to make a big granny but I get sucked into new patterns all the time. Good Luck with your granny. I'll be on the look out for pictures!
DeleteThe blanket is great good luck with the yarn I hope that you find some, thanks for linking :)
ReplyDeleteI was lucky, I dived into the last couple of boxes and low and behold I found 1 skein and I think I have figured out the color just in case it's not enough.. fingers crossed that is..
