This week we can really see our Crochet with Me!! Crochet-A-Long Afghan really starting to take shape… We are well past half way and headed towards the finish line…
This week we will be doing just a few more rows of the Shells and Chains… Then back to our section of bumpy texture!! You will fly thru this section since you have used all of these stitches in the previous week… Since this is all stitching we have done before… there really are no tips to share… You may still be noticing some areas seem a bit smaller or tighter and a bit of waviness… Just to remind you that by doing our thick side edges and a border,,, Then followed by blocking, your project should lay nicely at the end!!
Lets get started…
