Okay, remember back during the Granny Square theme, when I posted a pic like this, swearing I would finish it sometime before I die, and promising a post when I was done?
I AM DONE.
96 multi-color squares. 97, if you count the 17th that got stuck on a row of 16, by accident, discovered when trying to join strips and attempting to figure out what the heck I did. 96 squares of weaving in ends, having to redo because my tension was funny, and I ACTUALLY BROKE A HOOK. I wore it out.
I can’t believe I actually finished this. *phew*
Oh i really like it! Congratulations on finishing something so time consuming! I get so tired of doing the same thing over and over again that i’ve never finsihed an afghan. I start them and then conveniently find something else to do…..short attention span.
That is wonderfull! How did you do the sewing together? That looks so neet!!!
wow……..just BEAUTIFUL!
I’ve been waiting to see the finished afghan! I know it was a lot of work, but it does look wonderful! Congratulations on finally finishing! Now you should relax and make something small and fun as your reward
Great job, I am not very good at making huge projects like this, you should be very proud.
Thanks guys!
Cristina… I whip-stitched through both parts of the V on each side (I know there’s a better way to say that), basically just carefully matching it up. It wasn’t too tough to keep track of, because I knew I had the 3 stitches of the granny, plus the space between, so I didn’t get lost. Once that was done, the rest was just edging forever, and ever, and ever.
June… I totally did pick up something easy, though not small… My current project, while it is an afghan, is strictly one giant granny, easy and mindless and NO ENDS TO WEAVE IN. I had bought $24 worth of yarn that should have cost $200 (wicked sale), and had to do *something* with 24 skeins… so I’m basically doing it until I run out of yarn. So far so good!
I am pretty proud of this… I gave it to my daughter, who promptly wrapped it around herself and took a nap. I can’t ask for a better compliment than that.
That is a great story, don’t forget to show us you giant granny when it is finished.
Don’t you love a great deal on yarn??!!
Boy do I! Watch Hobby Lobby if you have one… they will sometimes just randomly take these 6, 7 and 8 dollar yarns and put them on sale for 99 cents… CRAZY. Almost makes up for having to say “Hobby Lobby” on a regular basis *snerk*
