our gracious hosts
I am posting this early, because we are away celebrating my birthday, the 23rd of May, in Mammoth Lakes. We will be gone for 5 days. Of course, we tag along our laptops, and our external drive where we store our photos. Please enjoy my post, as it is a deviation but the theme is there.
Spring Fling Afghan Squares
Pink Color
I have chosen to show my crocheted afghan, in spring colors. Crochet is a hobby that has been so therapeutic for me, for so many years, before I knew what blogging meant. Now, blogging is my first love (very addictive, if anyone agrees), and crochet my second.
Old Rose Color
Purple, Burgundy
And yellows, too.
The finished product with the old rose and purple borders.
This is a free pattern that I received when I used to buy my yarns through Herschnerr’s. The stitches are very simple, namely: single, double, treble crochet, popcorn. I used whip stitch to join my squares. The colored yarns are left overs from different projects. I may have the pattern, but I have to look for it.
You asked, how long? Well it took me approximately 3 weeks to finish this project. How? Those days before the subway, one hour each way on the Commuter bus, and while watching my favorite TV shows at night.
