Adding the Border

Hi all!
Survived the "snow bomb" and all shoveled.

Even worked more on the afghan and getting closer to the end. All sewn and ends woven and clipped. Just adding the border, which will be 4 maybe 5 colors. We'll see how crazy I am by then and how quickly I got there!!! :)

Thanks for looking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SYMPATHY Afghan...What Is Done, So Far

Afghan So Far, originally uploaded by CraftyPease.

Hi!
Well, so far I have sewn all the squares together to form a row and have sewn 4 rows together. Only 8 more rows to sew and off it goes.

With the passing of my father-in-law, I thought it best this afghan go to my mother-in-law. I am sure it will never replace her husbands love and warmth, but it will at least do a little of the job.

Wanted to make a nice cozy afghan as a gift... the only problem is, I had to first learn to crochet and then learn how to do an afghan square pattern. Good thing for the internet!!!!

Thank you for looking!

Even though I just learned how to crochet at the very end of December, I just had to try to learn this pattern!!

Here's the addy if you want to try.

The pattern has a really cool 3D effect to it. It's a nice compliment to all the other flat style granny squares. Going to also have some squares with gray petals and these 3D type squares will will "peppered" all over the afghan.
