I have a soft spot for granny-square afghans. I hate putting them together, but I love how they look. My cousin Benjamin’s first birthday is coming up, and he was admiring one of Carolyn’s granny-square afghans. So…I have 21 days to crochet a duplicate. I feel kind of guilty duplicating the pattern. It’s sort of unusual, and I don’t if the person who made it for Carrie made up the pattern or not. I feel like I ought to ask permission to make one. I guess since I’m not selling it, it’s probably not a big deal.<\/p>\n
I bought lime green, bright turquoise, and dark purple yarn for it. It’s a very yummy combination. If it weren’t so dark I’d take a picture, but by tomorrow there might be more than a couple of squares to take pictures of anyway.<\/p>\n
It’s strange – it’s been ages since I crocheted more than a simple border on something I’ve knitted. But just as soon as I picked up the crochet hook it all came back to me. And equally as soon – once I crocheted the first square – I remembered why I hate putting these things together. So many ends to hide. Ugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
