trying to make some room...

about a month ago I decided that if I'm going to be working on a blanket or two for Christmas and my store I had better make some room for the 30 or so skeins of yarn that I will have to buy.


i currently have so much yarn that I hardly know what to do with all of it so I got to thinking 'it's almost cliche for crocheters to have a great big zig zag afghan. and more than that I think there must be some kind of law."

so I got to work

I have dubbed it "The Ugly"

the last 8 rows turned out not quite so ugly.



I don't know that I'm completely done with it, but I am for now. the beauty of this beast is that I can add to it later if i need to.
the really ridiculous part of this is the size :)
it is 5.5' x 7.5'
Tim says I should make it 7.5 x 10 I don't know about that. I'll probably just start another blanket

No offense, but I like the name! That's quite a collection of chaotic colors. (Try saying that 10 times fast!) It's required, though. I have an afghan somewhere with that same zig-zag pattern that my grandma made for me a long, long time ago. I like the size of your's, too. You can fit a lot of kids under it while watching a movie!

almost 2 years have gone by

why do I always do this? so many things have happened in the past two years.  I just feel so silly that I haven't kept up on the blog.  ...
