I have returned

I'm still not feeling my best, but thankfully crochet is fairly mindless and doesn't really require me to be feeling well to get things accomplished.

I had promised my loving husband that I would make him an afghan. I promised this about two years ago, and never had the drive to complete it. I'm so lazy. Blankets are hard! Finding the right pattern is also very difficult. So, I have all of this yarn meant for his blanket and a bunch of spare skeins of yarn picked up from various places that I have no plans for.

Then I find out about the Bernat Mystery Afghan Crochet Along found on the Bernat Blog. I had actually planned to follow along when it first started in October, but I got distracted and only just remembered to look up the weekly clues. This past week was spent attempting to catch up to the clues, but I am still woefully behind. Prolly because one clue is for 16 squares and the rest were from 2-8 squares. So I have completed 4 out of the current 7 clues released.

Here are the squares::

Clue One, two squares:


Clue Two, two squares:





Clue Three, eight squares:




Clue Four, four squares:

Not Completed...

Clue Five, sixteen squares:

Not Completed...

Clue Six, four squares:


Clue Seven, one large square:

Not Completed...

  1. That's a really awesome idea.

    I've been wanting a warm hat and scarf combo for ages but i can never find what i want in stores so I might have to take up knitting/crochet so I can have them before it gets too cold out!

  2. Pick up crocheting if you want to go quick and easy. I can bust out a scarf and a hat with crochet in a few hours. With knitting it takes me almost twice as long for a hat and almost 4 times as long for a scarf.

  6. Ah, you crochet so well! I tried picking it up a few years ago only to come up with a very weird looking hat. My technique wasn't very consistent XD

  7. I will never ever have the patience for an afghan or blanket. I admire people who do.

  8. A bit off-topic, but I didn't realized you'd made a blogger over here. I found you by accident going through other pages, and I'm glad I did! Not only do your creations look super cute, but I'm glad to hear that it sounds like you're healthier, happier, and generally having a good time of it lately.

    Can't wait to see more of your projects! I've already poked and prodded through a few entries. :)
