Crochet with Me!! Crochet-A-Long… Week 8

February 27, 2016 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

Welcome back to our Crochet with Me!! Crochet-A-Long… As we finish up this weeks assignment, we will be 3/4 of the way done with our project… Can you believe it?? I am really loving my afghan and each week I am enjoying the process of the few hours it takes to complete!! I hope you are loving it too!!

For our weekly housekeeping I will address a question I had this week…. Some of us have wondered about the yardage and needed to buy yarn to continue. Some people are making this scrappy, others are doing monochrome or 2 color,,, The rest of us are doing the 3 color. As listed in the original directions, We will be very close to the estimated amount I stated in the directions…. I purchased 3 skeins each of my Boysenberry and Peacock and at the end of week 8 I have used 2 of each and will have to start with my 3rd skeins for week 9, I will have plenty of each to finish the project… For my Eggshell which is my main color, I originally purchased 5 skeins and at the end of week 8~ I am in my 3rd skein. I will need my 4th skein for sure and think I will have to go into my 5th skein by the end… I hope that helps with any questions about yarn!!

This week we are back to a quick work up of the rows… The last couple of weeks our shells and chains were a lot of work and many people are still catching up! So I think you will all be happy to have an easy week!!

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…

Crochet With Me!! Winter 2016 Crochet-A-Long… Week 4

January 30, 2016 By Beatrice Ryan Designs 4 Comments

It’s Week 4 and our Crochet with Me!! Crochet Along is coming along fabulously!!! I am so excited to see all of the afghans being shown off on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Ravelry!!

Make sure to add this pattern to your FAVORITES on Ravelry for easy access and sharing your progress! Click Here!!

A couple of notes from last week… All the textural stitches should be on one side, which is the right side. If some of the rows seem to be a bit narrower that others, we will be blocking our project and putting a nice edging on at the end.. This should take care of squaring up the afghan unless it is off by a large amount. Just make sure you are checking your stitch count!!

So,, If you are ready, let’s get started with Week 4!!
