Yea, he is a keeper. He loves all the afghans I make so much he wont let me give any away, very soon we wont have a place to store them all.

I have looked in every possible spot for the yarn and it is just simply gone, I have a feeling it wasn't a full skein when I started the afghan, but where did such a small amount come from is my next dilemma??? LOL I just took a square to the store and matched the color, love Red Heart for that!

I love the granny square blocks. they are a lot of fun to make.

i ran out of matching colors. I may make some more GD's sometime this week.

so ive been working on non granny squares squares a couple washclothes and some for another blanket

[Kamehi]

Here's my finished product!

The picture doesn't do it justice because my cell phone made the picture have a weird haze that sort of dulls the colors.  In my earlier post in the thread I posted a picture that depicts the colors really well! Vibrant and rich :0)

It's huge and beautiful! It'll make a great beach bag :0)

I used this tutorial for joining: http://www.wardi.dk/2009/06/granny-square-joining-tutorial.html
I like it although you do have to do some light blocking to get everything square at the end

BennuBird, I love that square that starts as a spiral and becomes a square, how on earth do you do that? i've tried to get that effect before but it's never worked out, it just looks chunky and square

[BennuBird]

Kamehi, Fantastic bag! I love that yarn, I have been sitting on a bunch of skeins of it I found on clearance at ACMoore not sure what to do with it yet, but after seeing your bag I think I know.

Danger, That came out beautiful and Thanks for the tute!

Kittymom, Might you be speaking of Chris M. ? LOL
