CROCHET BABY AFGHAN SHOWER PROJECT signups NOW OPEN & On Going

[ozark hen]

I cannot do multiple color changes

Mine look awful, if I can do solid colors and someone point me to a specific pattern, I went to the baby afghan site and it showed a bunch of them?? I am on dial up so maybe I didn't wait long enough for the specific pattern to come up?? How many do we need to do? I need to know if I can do solids as that is all I can do on something so small.

I found the pattern so forget that dumb question.
Em, that is so beautiful!!

Ditto that!!!!

Here is one I was practicing on with that pattern...it was too small with the g hook (vanna baby yarn pea green ..kind of "fat" yarn!!) so I added a sc border and then it was almost 4 1/2 " ..I think it would be just right with an F hook, I'll try that next...but the pattern is pretty and the solid color is nice too, I wouldn't worry about having solids and mixed ones..just know that if you do a solid at the color changes you will turn your square and of course NOT change your color, but you will have to turn or no space to dc in! Works out pretty though...

...forgot to say EM..your afghan is AWESOME!!!!!! A+++++++++++++++++++

You know it might be more confusing to finish up one of these little ones.....
I'm gonna read back through this thread to see what the size etc needs to be and try a block - I don't have any vanna's yarn, and I'll need to wait till next shopping trip....

 

[Wildsky]

I think I can start some for you Skand... just don't count on it YET - let me get my yarn and such... and figure it out.

I bet I can squeeze a good few in an envelope!

my square is a fraction over the 3 1/2

WHAT THE HECK - who's very yellow feet are those?

 

[Scrambled Egg]

LOL!!!! There's Chuck, the International Chicken of Intrique hornin in on the babyghan project!!! Crazy big footed chicken!!! lol!

...oh, and if I had followed the directions and left off the row of sc, mine would have been closer to the size of yours, lol!!! That's what I get for improvising or "froggin it" as Scoot says!!

 

[Wildsky]

I used wool-ease, which I imagine is similar to the vanna baby - although I'm not sure, I recon the squares can be stretched and pulled around to match up ok. I used a g hook.

Hey Scrambled, I thought "frogging" meant pulling something out and starting over ? don't wanna be doing that!

I need to get a few more pic's of Chuck before he leaves again, I'm going to CRACK open a very old bottle of Champagne tonight

I'll give him some!

EM Your afghan is wonderful I love the colors and I agree it looks like a stained glass window. Beautiful Job.

Wildsky did you use a J hook? that is what I used on my square.
Hey thanks for including International Chuck with our project.

Makes it that much more special

OK folks enough of you want to get started and I have decided to go ahead and post the colors and the number of squares needed in what combination for the pattern. So the posting will be coming up here very soon.. Have to type it out.....
