Crochet With Me… Week 9 CAL!!!

November 28, 2014 By 2 Comments

I love to crochet afghans!!!  This Vintage Fan Ripple Blanket is one of my favorites too… And, apparently my daughters too!!  She came home from college and when she saw it as I was crocheting away,,, She fell in love with it and asked if she could have it!!  Luckily it wasn’t finished,, You may be wondering why I said that,,  I think I want to keep it for myself,,, and it wont be done in time for her to steal to take back during this break…lol!!

I hope you are enjoying yours as we are finishing up the last few rows… It will be ready to wrap up in just in time for the holidays!!  Maybe you will be giving yours as a gift!!  Below is my Week 8 CAL progress picture.. 20 color sections finished and only a few more to go!!  If you would like to make this Vintage Fan Ripple Blanket,,, We are following a pattern from A Creative Being!!  She has lots of great crochet, so hop over and check her site out!!

 

Week 9 CAL

Week 9 Crochet With Me CAL assignment…….

Since it is a big shopping week and getting close to Christmas… Lets do 2 more sections and see where this leaves us!! You will have 22 color sections complete at the end of week 9…  I think after this week it will only take a couple more rows to finish up… Yippee!!!  Don’t forget to email your progress pictures to me so we can all see!!
