One more foot…
So, I have about a foot left to go on the crazy stitch/brick stitch afghan. It’s really working up fast, you almost don’t realize how quickly it does go… But it’s now a bit too big to bring to and from work, for the “Ya ya yarn” lunch sessions, so I needed something smaller, more compact to work on.
A while back, I found this heart garland, thought it was pretty cool. Hello new pin! With all the leftover red yarn I had from the Angry Bird amigurumi presents, it’s a “free” project. Gotta love when you already have the yarn and don’t need to buy any new supplies.
Anyway, the pattern seems pretty straightforward, but I must be reading it a bit wrong. On the third round I needed 8 or 9 stitches (not 5) to get back to the alternating single and 2x single crochets. Making that small change seems to work pretty well:
First Heart
I have my project bag all ready packed!

Your blanket is fab! I wish I had more hours in the day :-) The Heart garland is so cute and would be lovely in a baby room in pastels. Avis x
Thank you! I think the garland is a great work up for small bits… Maybe I’ll see if I can do a flower one for Ash’s room… a star one for Tea’s…
I have maybe two nights of work to finish the stripes… then I have to figure out the boarder I want for it… It seems like it’s going to need some edging. How do you ever figure out edgings??
Hmmmm….again, so many to choose from :-) I’m not an experienced crocheter so I’ll just watch and wait really :-)
LOL! I know!!! I’ll have to ask around to see what’s a good idea…
The afgjan is fab!! Look here: http://www.squidoo.com/afghan_borders it gives pics of different edgings that might be something you like. You’re doing so great with these projects. I adore the hearts. And yes,it’s fun to be able to use up ‘scraps’ when making something new. It works the same way with scrapbooking. :-)
Thank you! That link is pretty cool! I was looking at something like the Tweed one, but hadn’t thought about using two colors. The two browns would look pretty cool together…
