I missed this one but hope that there will be others you will offer. I have been crocheting for many years and have made afghans,potholders,dish cloths and baby afghans. I have an afghan that I am currently working on. I am also working on making a scarf for the winter season which is here already. I live with my husband in Pennsylvania and am also a writer.

Thanks Trish….you were right. I do have an older version. I will try whip stitching and see how I like it.

I single crocheted around each square with an off white. Then I layed two squares right sides together and slip stitches through outside loops(one on each square)only. I like the way it made a little valley down the center between each square. I now am making the picot border of off white and really like the way it is all coming together.

I am finally almost to the end….had to break for an illness. I was wondering why the pattern says make 27 squares but the layout diagram shows 30? I used several different patterns in addition to the 3 basic and I am really happy with it. What is the best way to put these squares together? I have heard several different ways but was wondering how everyone did it. This has been a great experience for me and everyone has been so nice and helpful. Thanks all.

Wow, Janet, I am very impressed! That is the way I am with books to read, I can read 5 books at a time, depending where I am. But, for me it seems hard to not get carried away with one project and neglect the others. Keep up the good work! Do you have any pictures? Would love to see them, we have been keeping up with each other’s progress and posting pictures of our work on the flickr address.

i usually have a blanket to work on in the livingroom, one in the bedroom, one at work, and one in the car. right now i am working on a blanket with an elephant on it for a coworker, a mile a minute scrapghan in the car, an alphabet sampler cribghan in the livingroom and bedroom (my sister is having twin granddaughters). this is a great way for me as i make up a lot of my blankets as i go along. so i am never bored.

Congrats Trish! I too have enjoyed the comments and interaction that we have had on Flicker. I did not see your afghan though, under what name are you posting on Flicker? Yelobird? It is wonderful when project is finished. Now the fun is to come deciding on what to work on next.
