Hello!
It is still cold and snowy here, PERFECT for crocheting afghans! My most recent afghan is a mile-a-minute pattern, it has been a lot of fun working on it, the name is deceiving though...this afghan took me a little while to make. It's MUCH larger than I expected though. I've actually been calling it my "John Wayne" afghan because it's the EXACT length of John Wayne's height! =D The width of it is my height, so the size of this afghan is.... 5 feet by 6 foot 4 inches, (60in. by 76in.). So, in other words, it's "Me by John Wayne" =D
There are fourteen strips that needed to be made, I started the first strip at a Super Bowl party we went to and came close to finishing it while we were there. I probably would have finished it, but there were lots of distractions so it took me a little longer.
Anyway, I bought the yarn at A.C. Moore, (a local craft store). I bought "Caron One Pound" which is a softer acrylic yarn, it worked really nicely for my project! I'm super happy with my finished product!
I worked on it all the time, we got several snowstorms and it was a lot of fun working on an afghan while it snowed.
I never make afghans that are pink and, obviously, this one is pink! I really love it though, it's nearly big enough to fit a queen size bed.
The time has come for me to show you the finished product! Yay!!!!
It has 2 miles worth of yarn which is 3545 yards, and it weighs about 5 pounds! I'm so excited that I finally finished this! It took me from February 2nd to February 25th.
I love this pattern, it was so much fun working on it.
Here it is all laid out! It was hard to get a picture of this afghan because we still have snow on the ground so I couldn't bring it outside to take pictures...I didn't want it getting wet.
Well that's about it! I'm going to be starting ANOTHER afghan very soon, this one will be green! =) I'm in a major afghan mood this winter!
Have a great day!!!
