Finished this block, so fast and easy!
I've got this block written down and ready to make tomorrow. I've been busy on another project today and just realized the time!! 10.30pm!!! too late to crochet me thinks!
PS: I'm loving the rav page :D
I am loving this! I started out thinking I would do two different afghans at the same time but ended up doing four! lol. The patterns are so quick and easy and beautiful. Can't wait to finish!
I have also thought of doing more than one afghan at a time! After Christmas I started my first scrap afghan from an old pattern in my collection. My New Year's resolution was to clear out my stash before buying any more yarn this year. So, thanks to Carolyn for helping me in my goal!
I've just heard about this and will catch up with my squares tonight and join y'all!
I love Carolyn's designs and have several of her patterns.
This sounds like fun. I can hardly wait to get started!
This is so fun! I've run home from work the last 2 days to make the current day's block! Thank you, Carolyn, for doing this for all your loyal fans! Love your work!
I'm loving the first 2 squares but where is today's square???? :(
I was thinking the same thing!
I think she's building the excitement up :D
Can't wait for Square #3!!!
Love this square too! Showed both squares to my DH and he said - oh they look the same. I tried to explain the differences and well - what's the point? I love this CAL! Keep up the great work. Waiting with bated breath for number 3.
waiting...waiting...waiting...
Any idea on how many squares there will be? I'm using them to make a throw for the end of my queen-sized bed. Wonder if I should start on some duplicate squares to use to make a nice big afgan. (That would help me wait for #3 too!)
Loving this! Its so fun! Thanks for doing this Carolyn. And here's my photos and a little post about the crochet along.
