Diagonal Crocheted Afghan
DD#1 has completed another afghan. They seem to be her favorite project. Just for fun she decided to make it on the diagonal - without a pattern! So it took a bit of figuring to help her get the increases and decreases correct so it actually made a rectangle! She used Red Heart 100% acrylic because she loved the colors and because she wanted it to be totally abuseable. I'm so proud of her! Another fab project!
We took the pics outside so the natural light would help the camera get the true colors - I think they came out not too bad.
She did an outside edge round to fill in the triangular dips left from the decrease rows then a solid edge of double crochet in the main color and then a contrast color round of shells. Such bright spring colors!
DD#2 came outside with us but decided to show off something not fiber-related! LOL!! Not to worry - I'll be showcasing her finished crocheted socks in my next post! Cheers for now!

The afghan is fabulous! It must be fun crafting with your kids! I just spoke with my daughter on the phone, and if she's got time between job and University, she's going to make leg warmers for her boyfriend. :o) She would love to do more, but ...
I love the snow heart! It this was your day today, wow, here it was so foggy, I could not see across the road, and had to have light on all day!

Absolutely beautiful afghan! you should be proud of her! I am going to start teaching my girls scout troop to knit in about 2 weeks wish me luck lol! tomorrow we will work on tying knots, thought that might be a good way to start before knitting plus it's a badge requirement

Well, for heaven sake, I miss checking the blog a couple of days, and look at all you've done! That is a lovely afghan, and it's great to see a kid having the confidence to just "go for it".
I love those stitch markers too. Do you sell them????
