Another FO Friday report for me!! I'm on a roll!!
This past week I finished up my 12 Days of Christmas Afghan! I started this back in January and knit one square each month. The squares were designed to be dishcloths but I liked the idea of doing the squares in acrylic and making and afghan out of it instead! After each square was knit, I blocked it and then did a round of single crochet. Each month I added the new square onto the afghan so that once I was done with the December square all that I needed to do was add a two round single crochet border on the entire afghan. I like this blanket!! Here is the FO:
Wow it's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea! The blanket is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome - I love the idea of using dischloth patterns to make an afghan!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I once tried to do a blanket in a year, and I failed miserably. It took well over 2 years! Well done for sticking to your plan - you are stronger woman than I!
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful. Great idea of turning dishclothes into an afghan.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I'm agog that you actually stuck to it for an entire year.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed! That must be the way to do it, one square a month :)
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful. I like the idea of a square a month. That way you don't feel so rushed at the end. But you do have to have perseverance.
ReplyDeleteLovely result for a lot of dedication. What a great idea to combine 12 dishcloth patterns into an afghan!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great and I like your idea of completing it as you go. Mentally, that's awesome. I've not thought of blocking each square vs blocking the whole ghan....but I can see some real plus to doing it that. Great idea. What pattern did you use?
