I'm addicted to this afghan....
Labels: wedding ring afghan 3 commentsI spent way too much time crocheting today when I should have been doing other stuff! I would get started on it and then have to realize...I need to fold those clothes or whatever and have to make myself stop. I made deviled eggs today to try to make a dent in all those boiled Easter eggs!! The work load here at the ranch is pretty low right now because there's so much green in the pastures the horses don't even come down to eat half the time! Less feeding and less poop to scoop! Didn't even feed the cows last night because the neighbors cows got in with our cows. We aren't feeding them our cow cubes so we didn't feed. I think Mr. Grain got the fence fixed today though.
I stayed at Alison's dance today because I wanted to watch because she was learning her solo today! (Also, it was a good excuse to work on my afghan for an hour and a half) Alison is getting a nice little solo dance in the show. It's not easy either because it's super fast faced...It's the Finger Fairy dance from Sleeping Beauty. She's been practicing all night.
Here's some more afghan parts I finished. I couldn't wait to see what they will look like together so I assembled these pieces together. I think it's going to turn out really nice!

hello. It's nice that you aren't too busy, crocheting is more fun!! Could I ask how much one of those skeins costs?
One big ball of 454 grams costs me $. 8. 68.
Smaller skeins are $3.97
I am intrigued by the wedding ring quilt, but the thought of sewing the pieces together, yikes!
Love reading your posts, they are always interesting.
Have a great day!

Jean,
Thanks for reading and posting comments on my blog!
I paid $3.66 a skein for the I Love This yarn. ( believe they are 7 oz skeins. That was a sale price though. It's a little pricey for me and that is why I don't often buy new yarn. (Red Heart is cheaper but this yarn is softer) As a matter of fact, this was the first time I have EVER bought yarn ahead of time for a large project like an afghan.
The wedding ring quilt is slip stitched together so it's not too bad. Every motif has the same number of stitches on the last round so it makes it easy to get it together.

wow, that seems a lot for that yarn too. I think that may cost more at michaels. My favorite yarn is bernate, but it is really pricey!
I have Also seen red heart simply soft but it is almost $9.00.
Hmm, after reading about how you are joining things, it does seem a little less intimidating. Maybe this fall or summer I can try it, but first I must work on some projects already started. I really should stick to one thing at a time.
