Yesterday I spent my time working on my first BAMCAL afghan. This one will be 4x4 twelve inch squares in size. I think it will make a nice small afghan for some charity. I suspect I may donate to Project Linus again. I am happy to say that I managed to get all of the first afghan sewn together. All that is left to do now is add a border! I may put that on my schedule sometime before the Thanksgiving break is over since I know I can turn this into a FO quite easily now! Here is a picture of what it looks like now:
It needs the border and then it will need a run through the wash to even out the squares (rough blocking with acrylic yarn!) I am not 100% happy with all the squares, but I really want to stay true to the spirit of the Block a Month Crochet Along group. I will admit that this year they selected several squares that were very challenging and it was not completely up my alley this time around. The first time I did this in 2011 the squares were simpler and I think I enjoyed myself more with the challenge. Maybe I'll wait another six years before I do another challenge!
Today the plan is to work on the three BAMCAL November squares that I have waiting for me. Only the November and December squares to go and this year is in the bag!
Super Pretty! I am sure the charity will be thrilled with this little gift.
