I started this afghan last February and actually finished the knitting in November. I lost interest for a couple months while I made some hats, mittens and socks. This weekend I finally finished crocheting all the squares together and now it is done. It came out a lot bigger than I expected - it covers our queen sized bed.
The pattern is from the book “Learn to Knit Afghan” by Barbara Walker. I hate to say it, but I used Red Heart acrylic yarn :oops: If only I had known about this website when I started, I would have used a nicer yarn. I learned a lot of different stitches and techniques, but from now on I think I’ll stick to smaller projects. Actually, even a sweater will seem quick to me compared to this.
Oh WOW!! That is gorgeous!! What perseverence you must have. Don’t worry about using Red Heart on this! It would have cost a fortune for other yarn and it will last forever, anyway. It really is so, so impressive!
That color scheme would look fab with my decor! I’m holding off doing a similar afghan til I come across the sampler patterns I want (may end up designing my own).
your work is inspiring :cheering: :cheering: im trying to figure out how to knit an afghan/blanket in two color blocks in cellular automata, and all of your geometric patterns remind me of my idea and this spurs me on.
Wow, I just started on this after getting the book for Christmas… It seems like you even used similar colors to what I’m using.
I’m using Encore 75% acrylic 25% wool, which isn’t much better than Red Heart I suppose, but I can afford it. I might end up using more colors than the book calls for, but I guess that doesn’t matter
But yours looks great! I’m saving the picture to keep me motivated to finish it. :XX:
