Still working on the afghan

Published by User Image Kim at 2:11 pm under kids, hobbies

I don’t know what I was thinking a few months back. I decided that I would finally use up all my scrap pieces of yarn and make my daughter a homemade knitting afghan. It was a great idea at the time. But, I never realized what type of work would go into one of these and I honestly have to wonder if I’m ever going to get it done.

I usually knit in the evenings while I’m watching TV. The particular pattern I chose was to make 70 individual blocks of six and a half inch squares. One square (if I knit constantly) takes me a day. Then I have to sew all the pieces together and then crochete a border. I think when it’s finally completed it’s going to be a very funky and interesting piece. My daughter loves it already. But, I am still wondering if I’m ever going to see a completed product. Then my son wants one for his bed (all boy colors) as well. So even when I see the end of this project. It’s really not the end. But I have been making some progress and here are some pics so you can all see how far I have gotten.
