New Crochet Project

About a month ago, I started work on a new afghan project. It's a lovely afghan and the pattern sounded so easy... and quick...  It has been everything BUT!

Striped Afghan in Wine, Buff & Multi
The afghan is only about 1/3 the way completed and, in fact, in the picture you can see the yarn hanging off it. I think I'll love it, when it is done, but right now, this afghan & I definitely have a 'love-hate' relationship.  I alternately love it and then, when I'm working on it, I hate it. I find that for every row I do, I'm ripping out two rows because the count is off, the edges don't line up, I've dropped a stitch... Anyway, I'm sure you all get the picture.

There is still a ton of work to be done on this one... It's taking F-O-R-E-V-E-R...  It's a long term project.

Close Up of Stitching
It is a double strand afghan, meaning two strands of yarn are used throughout. At this time, I've no idea as to what it will measure, simply because I cannot find my tape measure. My dear hubby probably took it to measure something. He does that, ya know.  Anyway, it will be suitable in size to use as a sofa throw and it will be very warm.

All of my stuff can be found for sale on the site, Zibbet, and also on FaceBook at Summerhill Stitchery. Swing on by and give me a "Like"!
