My Thoughts on Life and Family and Where Every Stitch is a hope, a dream, a smile, a prayer, a good thought.

CAL Progress


Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Here is my latest progress with my redo on the CAL Afghan. From top to bottom they are #26-Simple Shell Stitch, Ranch Red, H Hook, #7-Alternate Puff Stitch, Warm Brown, H Hook and #9-Arch Stitch, Farmland Multi, H Hook.

I thought I would have had #8-Chevron Relief Stitch to show you but I am in the midst of redoing that one. It measured a little less than 7 inches and I have done so good with the other 3 that I didn't want to have to "fudge" a square.

I managed a good bit of stitching last night but had to stop because I need to blend more threads. So this afternoon, I plan on blending some more threads and then tonight I will be ready to pick up where I left off.

In the meantime today I am doing some chores that I have been delaying like cleaning the family room and the kitchen stove. LOL The weather is awesome today and I love the smell of clean that is inside the house.

Have a great day everyone!

hi Mia, I just want to say hello.
Your chrochet looks great, it doesn't look like it's made by an unexperienced person! good luck on your chores today.

Wow, that afghan really makes me want to try it, but since I know limited crochet, I'll stick to what I know until next year! Only a few resolutions a year, you know? This year's was learning to crochet, next year's will be completing some fantastic project like that 63 square thingy everyone seems to be doing!

Mia, I love the colors you picked for the afghan, they're going to look beautiful when it's all finished. I need to find a specific day to crochet or something. It seems like I do a bunch of squares, then I hit one I don't really like doing and I get stuck. The cool weather is sort of inspiring, though!

Your squares look great Mia! I really must get back to my knitted afghan, it's been sorely neglected :(

Your squares are looking good - love the picture of your Rose too - it will be beautiful when it is finished. Oh, and I hear you on the baby and toddler thing ... for the first time in years I don't have either and I'm amazed at how much less stressed, and more time I have!
