Afghan

 I have a crochet project that is finished.  It has been washed and dried in the dryer.  The yarn washes beautifully.


I used Stylecraft Special DK in all shades of purples and beige.  I used a 3.5mm hook and the pattern is Study of Reality which was a free pattern on Ravelry. 

I learned some new to me stitches with this blanket and I also learned not to go rogue...and when you think there is a problem...stop and re evaluate.   The edges of the blanket tend to roll.  I can do better...but someone will love this blanket someday. 

I had a busy day...some cleaning and dusting happened and some laundry.  Far Guy is feeling better...he still has a nagging cough...he sees his Dr next week for a follow up after his hospital stay.  He is woodcarving most days. 

What's cooking?  Ribs and corn on the cob.  Yummy!

Minnesota weather:  HIgh 73F or 23C  Low 50F or 10C

  4. Since know nothing about quilting, it must take a very long time to complete a project like this.

  9. That has to be the prettiest afghan that I've ever seen. I love the pattern and the colours!!
    I must look up why edges roll. One of my fav cardigans ( 100% cotton) has a hem that rolls no matter how I iron it down.
