Wild West Afghan WIP

I have made a little more progress on my afghan.  

The top section is alternating boots and scorpions.  I am going to finish that strip and then add the same blue strip that is at the bottom.  Then the afghan will measure about 35" x 58".

I am going to study more envelope border tutorials so I can finish this one and pick another one to start.

Have a great weekend of stitching.

Wild West WIP

I have added a few more sections to the Wild West Afghan. 

It currently measures 35 x 47.5 so I am thinking I will add a bit more before I crochet the envelope border that will hide all of the ends on the sides.

Enjoy any stitching time you find this weekend.

Wild West WIP

I have not made much progress since my last post but I added a narrow strip of lizards and snakes. Now I am halfway through a section of alternating cowboy hats and stars.

 

Have a great weekend and enjoy the Super Bowl!

Crochet Wild West WIP

This is my current crochet project.  The last afghan I crocheted was called a tapestry crochet pattern.

This project is called mosaic crochet, which has several styles and I think this is called overlay mosaic.

It's very new to me so feel free to correct me if  I am confused about the terminology.  It amazes me that I have been crocheting for 50+ years and there are so many new to me things to learn.

I ordered a couple of patterns from Ravelry

Sos Wild West - Episode 2

Sos Wild West - Cacti  scroll down on this page and there is a link to order all of the Wild West - Episode 1 patterns together instead of purchasing each individual chart.

The top row that I just finished is a free Ravelry pattern 

Into the Woods

I started this afghan 12/30/22 and I am almost half way done.

Keep stitching ♥

Crochet Finish Jesus Loves Me

I finished this baby afghan by Jody Pyott called Jesus Song.

It's about 31" x 31".  I used Stylecraft Special DK yarn in white, Candy Floss, Fiesta and Parchment (100 gram skeins).

Merry Christmas to all ♥

Christmas Eve Wishes Finish

I finished the Christmas Eve Wishes afghan ♥ The border looks a little wonky but I am going to wash it and block it which will straighten it out just fine. I am so excited to be crocheting again and I cannot wait to start the next project. Happy stitching

WIP Lady of the Flag

I would have expected more progress after seeing how long it's been since my last update. 

It may be slow but any progress is OK with me.

WIP Lady of the Flag

I stitched a very little bit on the dress. I may have thought finishing the flag was quite an achievement but I will more impressed with myself when the dress is finished.

Enjoy any stitching you find time to do this weekend.

Lady of the Flag WIP

I decided to finish the flag on July 4th after this had been sitting idle for so long. The flag took much longer than I was thinking it would but I am ready to move on to finishing the dress now.

One new accessory that is most helpful in keeping my place in this larger project is a Stitch Tracker available at https://www.purplehobbies.com/store/p63/Stitch_Tracker.html#/.

 

 Keep on stitching ♥
