Week 8 of 2015 Mystery Afghan CAL

Happy Thursday Everybody :) & I deeply apologize to everyone for posting these last couple of weeks so late!!  It has been a hectic house around here lately and I am finally able to sit down and blog :-P lol

Anyways... Week 8 consisted of a cross treble technique that we bordered the afghan in. & It is gorgeous!! This is one of my favorite techniques that we learned during this CAL and I will definitely be using it on future projects :)

The pattern for week 8 can be found here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/spinrite/pdf/WEB-C-SIMPLYSOFT-C-MysteryAfghan-Week8ab.pdf

Week 1 of 2015 CAL Mystery Afghan

I have been so excited and anxious for a week to FINALLY start the 2015 Mystery Afghan Crochet Along!!!!

Since today is Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2015... We got our first clue!!!
Which can be found at: http://www.yarnspirations.com/kal-cal#week1

I love the fact that that they have 3 different pattern options for you to see!!

1) Written out pattern 

2) Diagram

3) Video 

How helpful is that?? EXTREMELY!! Especially considering that its probably going to get a lot more complicating and I am definitely going to need the extra help!! LOL

So these are the 4 Colors I chose for this project!!

                    

My Main Color is Burgundy

My 3 Contrasting Colors are Off White, Pagoda, and Robins Egg.

All of the yarn that i will be using for this project are Caron Simply Soft. 

I am also using a H hook. 

WEEK 1

So, for the first week we are doing 20 Granny Squares, each measuring 4" X 4" (10cm X 10cm) They are all done in MC. 

I am very pleased to say that on my first square my measurements were perfect!!! YAY

Here is the result:

I cannot wait to see what the mystery afghan will look like!!! 

EXCITING!!!

That is all for today!! Gotta get working on these squares!!

Happy Crocheting Everyone!!! 

XOXO
