(originally posted on WP 11/10/20.)
It’s been a busy week since my last post (when is it not!) As of yesterday morning, I had almost 7 rows and columns sewn together.
By last night, all 9 rows of 5 squares each were all sewn up.
Today, I need to weave in all the WS tails, and begin the edging, likely in the creamy white, as the 17 ozs. of Samantha-Katya Pink Peace Fleece is used up, and there’s only 60 grams left of the Lanaloft Bulky in Wheat from the almost 35 ozs. I began with.
Not sure why they call this color Samantha-Katya Pink, as it’s a red wine color, but there you have it.
All the Peace Fleece yarn came from deconstructed design samples, and the LLB was a 1/2 price bargain buy from LittleKnits.com. The creamy white handspun, which filled in for the only 5.75 ozs of PF in Antarctic White I had, was some 2 ply Domestic 56’s top. which I had no other use for, so the afghan cost me very little in outlay – a good thing, as the hubster may or may not like it. If he doesn’t, I’m sure I can use it.
I made stitch and row adjustments to each square (and hence to the seaming sequence), to accommodate the varying yarn grists.
So far, it is about 39-40”wide x 69-70” long, weighs 4.66 lbs. and is about 17 days in the making, with perhaps 2 days’ work remaining, so will meet my expectation of a 2 to 3 week afghan easily!
Onward,
Dawn
