This is a long-term crochet project. It will be for my beautiful daughter. I expect it to take me at least a year. It's a great project for using up scrap yarn, and something to work on in the relaxing hours of the evening.
When I work on small projects- especially orders from my page- I'm so excited to see the finished product, that I work feverishly on it and it isn't very therapeutic. This is something I can take a more relaxed approach to.
I will start by making 200 african flower granny squares. I have about 30 made so far.
WW yarn (4) mostly, some sport weight (3) mixed in.
Size "I" hook.
I am not joining as I go. Probably the biggest mistake of my life, but I haven't yet decided on a "joining" color for the final round. Usually, this color will make or break the afghan. It ties it all together, obviously, and I have so many colors, and there will be more colors to come. Once I have them all made, it's easier for me to decide the theme. Currently, I'm thinking a pale pink. But that will probably change at least 6 times before I finally buy one.
Yes, I will buy the joining color. I will need quite a bit of it, at least 3 skeins, to join and get a good border around the afghan as well.
I will end up joining them in a similar manner to heidibear's though. More on that to come, but I love this pattern so very much, that I had to share it.
