Sorry for the long absence, working full time is really…hard! Hard in a different way than college and law school were. While in school, I probably was putting more hours towards school, but they were spaced out throughout the day. I’d have a morning class, then a break, then another class, then I’d put in a few hours in the library before an evening class. But work is a whole ‘nother ball of wax. It’s 8-10 hours of constant focus. I feel exhausted when I come home. Okay, enough lame whining. I really love my job, so I don’t want to spend too much time saying negative things about it. On to crochet!
I’ve started working on my revised plan for Lorenzo’s blanket. Basically, what I decided to do was wavy stripes, alternating between white and one of the other four colors (dark blue, light blue, green and yellow). The wave is made by stitching two single crochets, two half-doubles, two doubles, two trebles, two doubles, two half-doubles and then two singles.
Here is a close up:
Lovely! Can’t wait to see all the colors.
Fern, I simply LOVE the idea of waves. The start looks fabulous too. I think it will be easier to get in the flow of working on the blanket as it grows and you don’t have to worry about stitching all the pieces together.
I can’t wait to see more pics as it progresses!
Cheers,
Elaine
This is one of my favorite patterns!
I’m working on a modified version, substituting treble crochet stitches for the double crochet stitches, thereby making the “wave” even higher. I think this looks like the crochet version on the “Lizard Ridge” afghan seen on Knitty.com a few months ago.
Nice work! Great colors!
