I feel like the Texas two step....going backward with my work on this Iris and Lillies Afghan. All squares have been edged with various rows of purple. I'm using a different joining then I typically do. Normally I tied the whole ghan together and crochet all the way across and or all the way up and down. But, that means you have to have the whole ghan on your lap at one time. I needed this to be a bit portable...so decided to work in blocks of 4. Plus felt it just wasn't quite wide enough at only 4 squares across, so by joining the 4 blocks and adding extra rows I could gain another couple of inches. So first block of 4 done, 2nd block of 4 done, and when I went to join the 2 blocks of 4.......they weren't in the right order! Somehow I had flipped them and couldn't maintain the diagonal design. Kept moving the 2nd block around to see if I could use it as it was elsewhere in the ghan to avoid frogging it....to no avail. I've added enough rows that it was probably 3 oz of yarn worth! ERRRRRRRRR
But, it had to be done. So, I redid the 2nd group of 4, and now have those 2 blocks joined. I think I'll be happy with the additional width I've gained.
Flipped this around, thus the strange angle but thought you might better see the difference in width I'm talking about. This is the way I see the ghan being used, but had to take the picture the other way at the time.
I'm in need of unknitting several rows on my DD's green sweater also, just haven't brought myself around to doing that yet. Going backward on 2 projects at the same time was just more then I was up to.
Year of Projects (11) links in tabs across the top of the page. And Let's Get Social Sunday (9) in the meme tab. Looking forward to catching up with everyone, as I've been a bit behind.
