My husband demonstrates the one panel added.
Category: Crochet
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!
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “Last/Lest/List/Lost.” Use them in any form you like. Use one, use two or use them all. Bonus points if you use all four. I’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 points… Enjoy!
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!
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.
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!
I am in the middle of so many projects right now that I thought I’d dedicate this one to a want to make. A Fingerknit hat!
I’d also like to make a shawl, poncho, or cape for my witch costume.
I have two pairs of knitted socks nearly finished. And a Tunisian Crocheted afghan is in the works. But I will need a couple more pieces for my costume at my daughter’s costume wedding reception. So I am putting my ideas here so I won’t lose them.
Okay, I guess I should share the pics of what’s been done so far. All this needs to be done by the first week in October.
Remember the Hiya-Hiya Flyer pair of socks? I decided to put them on a long Chiaogoo Red Lace 60″ US 1 needle. I need to finish the foot and then the toe.
Here is one of the outer panels of the Tunisian Crochet Afghan. It is almost as long as I want it. It’s so long I can’t capture it in a close-up anymore.
I know I have a couple other projects but these are the ones I’m trying to concentrate on.
This time I used the Turkish Cast-on. But since I think I understand the rest of the pattern now, I think I’ll give it one more try. The next stage is an arch ribbing to keep the sock snug.
I’m happy with the first pair but hope to improve. For the pattern and tutorial click back a couple days on this blog
