How many indeed.
Several people commented on my last post and asked if I am making 1 or more afghans.
Excellent question.
Kind of wish I knew the answer.
I originally planned on making 1 big afghan or 2 mediium sized afghans. I wanted to have 1 on my bed or 1 for downstairs and 1 for the bedroom. My other thought was to have/make 1 for my bedroom and 1 for a friend and give it away.
1 big afghan is approx. 5 or 6 12-inch squares across and 5 or 6 12-inch squares in length. So, if I make an afghan that is 5x6 12-inch squares I need 30 squares.
However, I'm having so much fun making the squares that I've made the equivalent of about 10 squares in Jan and Feb each give or take a square.
This means I'll have approx 120 12-inch squares.
Whoa! That's too many squares. That will make 3 or 4 afghans. Far too many squares and far too many afghans. So, yeah, I don't know what I'll end up doing from this point on.
At a minimum I'm going to make 2 12-inch squares, 2 filler squares and 4 6-inch squares.
I'll have a bunch of yarn leftover each month.
What will I do with all that extra yarn? Scarves? Hats? I just don't know.
I guess we'll have to wait and see
and
you'll just have to wait to see and wait to read.
Until then
Namaste
I've made pillows and totes out of afghan squares. You might consider that. I understand your making so many squares--it is addictive. I love using different color combinations and learning new stitches. Enjoy!
