I’m working on the edge of my afghan now.
(The red pieces of yarn are just markers to help me count the stitches.) It’s going well, though it does take a l-o-n-g time to get all the way around it. I have done two rounds of white single crochet and a round of purple single crochet. I’ve started the next round, which has me doing a spike stitch for the first time.
It covers up some of the purple in the previous round so that the border looks mostly white with small purple (and in a later round, yellow) squares.
I’ve also started a small new crochet project: a hat for myself.
It’s made from this pattern and comes together very quickly. I’m a little unsure about how the size will turn out, so it might end up being a hat for someone else if it doesn’t fit.
I’ve chosen the fourth block I’d like to do for the Secret Quilting Project, too!
