Yarning II






I know there are some that just don't understand the love affair some of us have with yarn. For me I find it amazing that a bunch of rolled up yarn can turn into magnificent works of art...


The 48 Hour Afghan I completed this week. I love it.



I loved making this afghan. The stitches were quite easy...single crochet, double crochet and the Popcorn Stitch which is very simple if you can do the double crochet stitch. I was changing yarn often and never got bored with all the single crocheting. The texture of the gray and black yarns were pleasing to my touch. The rows with the grayish tweed yard went quickly because of the double crochet stitching. Now the white yarn itself was my least favorite textured yarn to work with on this project. It is a thinner weighted yarn that I don't care to work with, but I guess I wasn't paying close attention to that when I purchased it. With that being said, the rows of white still went quickly because of the Popcorn Stitch. It was just plain fun and gratifying to see those bumps popping up!

The biggest question that remains is where this afghan will find it's place in the house. I tend think it will be found in all the bedrooms from time to time and the couch....only time will time.
