Finished! (Well, almost!)
I've been working on a Diagonal/Corner Box Stitch afghan since July 13th and I finished it Monday! Well, almost, all I have to do now is darn in those pesky freaking ends, wash it and dry and give it to my mother-in-law for her 69th birthday tomorrow! :)
I just love how easily it went. I already want to do another one! I would be more selective with the colors, though, but this was stash Vanna yarn.

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. I see your spotted handle in the picture, cute!
That boxstitch is amazing! I will definitely put that on my to do list. What a wonderful birthday gift.
By the way, love, love, love your blog layout. A bit scrapbookish.

Hey! Woo hoo, a comment! Yay! :)
ReplyDeleteThe box stitch is so simple and fun to do, it just flies by, but the whole time I was thinking of other color combos for the future.
I had made two red polka dot hooks using red glitter clay and white for the dots, but for the dots I made a tiny ball and then smooshed it as flat as I could. They still came out a little bumpy. Oh well! I'm going to order some canes and try what you did.
I got my blog layout from shabbyblogs.com, including the header, and they have a ton to choose from. :)

I just did a double take because your cat (although a bit fluffier) is almost the identical of the one my husband and I just adopted a week ago from a shelter. How sweet!
ReplyDeleteLove that blanket stitch. Looks like something I can use for the afghan I'd like to make for our camper.
ReplyDeleteYour cat is funny.
