Finally finished.

I was so proud of my husband. As he held up the Afghan he said, “If you had a blocking frame it would take care of the curling.”

I stood there, my mouth ready to catch flies! How did he know that? He said his grandpa made one for his grandma who was a constant crocheter.

It is now in the box being mailed to my daughter. I will talk more about it later.

Still No Pictures

I’ve been crocheting as much and as far as I can while still trying to not strain the arthritis. The last panel is now as long as me but needs to be 6 foot. So 7 more inches. Then sew it all together and trim to unify the whole thing . The thing about Tunisian Crochet is that it likes to curl. The only way I can think of to de-curl is add a trim in the back side.

Well back to work. It won’t hook itself!

Stream of Consciousness Saturday

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โ€œLast/Lest/List/Lost.โ€ Use them in any form you like. Use one, use two or use them all. Bonus points if you use all four. Iโ€™ll chip in extra bonus points if you use the word formed from the missing vowel in a well mannered way, but behave yourselves lest you lose all you bonus pointsโ€ฆ Enjoy!

Thanks Linda for the prompt. Thank you Dan of No Facilities for helping us out on this Stream of Consciousness Saturday

Lest you all think I don’t have an Afghan to finish, let me list what still needs to be done.

1. Finish the last panel. I got nearly one third finished as of this moment. It’s going fast but may not get done today. Let’s hope I do.

2. Sew the panels together.

3. Put on an anti-curl trim.

4. Find pretty paper and a card.

5. Mail to the happy couple.

Let’s hope my fingers and back hold out. I don’t usually set a deadline on my projects. But this one is important. If I don’t get it done by Monday, all is not lost. But having the looming date helps me stay focused.

Still no picture. I promise before I mail it to capture the image.

So, back to work for me.

Happy Fall!

Just a Quick Update

No picture because 6 feet of one panel and nearly 6 feet of one side panel is too wobbly to hold up. So stay tuned. I hope to have the Afghan finished by Monday. Wish me luck! Taking Advil and getting back to work.

The center section of the Afghan is nearly finished. My son is holding it up to show how long it is. I do have one side panel nearly as long. I still need to make yet another panel then sew up the three parts. For this mid section I’ve been using a size K ChiaoGoo Tunisian cable hook. I’ll be glad when this is done. I don’t like working on something this big.
When I just can’t crochet another moment I’m working on another pair of Sneaker socks. I need another half inch of this arch part. Ribbing is beginning to be more fun since working Continental. These are ChiaoGoo Red-lace Circular Needles 2.

I don’t have a pattern for the Afghan. Just the basic Tunisian Crochet stitch. It is getting boring, but I think it’ll be warm.

This is what I’m using for the socks.

Have a great weekend!

This is a part of the first panel I started on. It was my first try at Tunisian Crochet.
It goes on and on! See the wooden ball? I think that is only supposed to be at the end of the cord on the Tunisian Crochet hook’s cable. But I found this one moved. It is quite handy. The width of the panel is slightly wider than the end of the hook. That meant that a few stitches would get stuck on the cable part. Pushing that ball up tight to the hook keeps my stitches right there, so I didn’t have to work so hard.
… and the panel goes on. I’m aiming for 6′, and I need to make a matching panel to this one.
This is how the hook and little ball look.
This is the colorful middle panel that needs a lot more length. When I get to the only one loop, last stitch on a row, I will pull it out, put the stitch holder and the tension ring on that loop. Then I roll or now, fold it up and use the hook and cable to hold it all together. This hook is a Chiaogoo Tunisian Hook, and the little ball doesn’t move. But for this wider panel, it is better opened out because I am using most of that cable.
This is how I hold the yarn with the tension ring. I have one of those rings for each of the panels. It helps keep my hands from hurting while holding the tension within my fingers. It still hurts because this is all the same stitch and gets tiring, but the rings help a lot.
