Miscellaneous Afghan CAL

[BarbaraJean]

Miscellaneous Afghan CAL

I'm starting a new afghan today or tomorrow and would really like to have a CAL for encouragement. I didn't find a specific thread for the afghan I'm making or a thread that I thought mine would fit in. If anybody knows of an already established CAL for this sort of project just let me know and I'll join in there.

I want to invite anybody who is working on an afghan that doesn't fit in any of the other CAL's to join along here for encouragement.

The afghan I'm making is called "Elegant Clusters". It's in "Vanna's Favorite Gift Afghans". This pattern book was a ROAK gift to me and I adore it!

I'll post a pic as soon as I make a bit of progress on it. Hoping to find others who are working on afghans to chat with!

I made a CAL button if you would like to place it in your blog. Please save it and move it to you own host. Thanks!

Yay! I'm so glad you joined. I joined the Flower CAL when I made my daisy afghan and I really enjoyed having others to discuss my project with.

That afghan is beautiful! Are you using white?

I forgot to mention my yarn. I'm using Simply Soft acrylic in off white. It's such a soft creamy color.

[catsncrochet]

Wow...that Square Elegance pattern looks really pretty. I'm tempted to try that pattern, but am trying to stick to one project at a time. I'm currently in the middle of a Ripple Afghan I'm making for my husband. Hmmm...let me think about it. Maybe I could work on his afghan during the week and have the Square Elegance be one I work on during the weekend...lol.

Hi Aimee! Welcome!

I love Ripple Afghans! I was a brave kid when I first learned to crochet. It was one of my first projects. I still have it - one of the few things that I've made and kept.

Good luck and let us know how you're progressing.

[MsSuzKelly]

Howdy. Count me in. I am itching to do an afghan - just haven't chosen one yet. I have Herschnerr's Blue Ribbon book - and there's a few in there..just have to make up my mind and buy the yarn.

I'm actually using granite (gray) and antique red (Homespun). It's for my sister's Harley room which is grays and blacks with some burgundy thrown in. It's a great stitch though, that pattern, and with the Homespun it's SOOOOOOOOOO warm (and heavy, this one has nearly 30 skeins of yarn in it)

Joyce,

30 skeins? Boy, you weren't kidding when you called it a behemoth afghan! lol.

That sounds like a great color combination.
