Picture Afghan
A little over a month ago a friend gave me a very cool book from the late 70s with afghans in it. Several of them were picture afghans, and I fell in love with the one of a castle, cause my RaineeGrace LOVES castles.
So I splurged and bought some yarn, two days after her birthday when I ran into return her camera. And began this project.
I had to splurge and buy yarn ummm 3 more times to finish said project? Its behemoth. ROFL.
And I started burning out as it got bigger and bigger. I finally started making myself do a row of granny squares a day.
Yesterday there was a end in sight, so I did 3 rows even feeling like CRAP.
And today I did the last row, and sewed it on. It still needs to be blocked. But I'm not even sure how to go about doing that its so ginormous. Its is after all sitting on my King Size Bed in this picture.
Of course now my kids all think they need one. And they think I'm super woman and can design it in a horse shape or a dragon shape. LOL. Personally I want one for me in the shape of a Lighthouse. I might have a new obsession...

You are SOOOOO talented!
I have some cute patterns like this mostly for kids. But when I look at how many little squares I'd have to sew together, it looks so overwhelming.
I crochet them together as I go, which was recommended by the site. That way it is a LOT less overwhelming. Personally I found I could work up one row of squares (sewed on) in about 2 hours--give or take how many interuptions. So I just made it a goal to crochet a row a day. With some days missed for baton,e tc.
Very pretty!
I love it!
