It's not very big yet. I am liking how easy it is to make. It's super thick.

Very nice, like that pattern. Is it black and white?

Thanks. It's brown and cream colored. Matches the living room. It crochets up pretty fast. I am using a boye hook. My next afghan..if I make one will be with a susan bates hook. I seem to crochet looser with it. Not sure why. The hook is slightly different in design.

It's looking great so far! I watched the video and I may try one of those some day. Very different way to do it.

I'm working on this new one while blocking my last 12" block for another:

I am starting up a crochet forum. Hope some of you join.

Not sure I have time for another forum, but best of luck with that! How is your afghan coming along?

After going up a bit on the hook size suggested, from 5mm to 6.5mm, to make the Wavy Squares afghan 38.25" wide, this ended up being 55.5" wide.

Sooooo, will definitely need more than the 3 skeins of yarn I have. I used one entire skein in the Jadite color, going to use the entire Candy Pink color, then use the 2nd Jadite color and after that, I have no idea because unless I order it, I sure can't find those colors in the Red Heart With Love at Walmart. What other color would look good with this teal green and bright pink if I choose a 3rd color? Black? Purple?

I think either black or chocolate

I didn't think of chocolate! I think I can get that at Walmart in this yarn, if I remember right.

You probably already posted this, but what are you currently making? I agree, the chocolate color would look really good with the pink and teal colors.

That's two votes for chocolate! Sounds good to me.

I'm putting together this 12 block afghan of 12" blocks right now, then will run a border of some kind around it. Hope it doesn't look all wonky when I get it done.
