Calendar CAL Finished

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS GHAN AS ASKED FOR BY READERS:

Finished the Calendar CAL Afghan that was hosted by April over at Dishcloth Diaries. This was Dec. square called Mistletoe. I think it is a beautiful square and it has little berries that pop if you look closely.

I believe that April intends to give a border but as for me at this point I consider it completed. If April adds a border I will also. I assembled my squares using The Flat Braid Technique.

Yesterday I also made another Hat and Scarf Set for Metro Hotel Group. I used Bernat Bright Lights in Purple Passion and Country Blue. This is a bulky weight yarn and the crochet went quickly. I used an "M" hook. It took four skeins to make the scarf and hat set. The scarf was worked with HDC on 100 stitches for 7 rows. The hat was made using my usual hat pattern and I made adjustments for yarn weight and hook size.

That is all that I have to report today. I think I see a lot of hats in my future.

Ghost, OUT!

I am not familiar with a flat braid to join squares. Any chance you would post an explanation? I love the look! You do beautiful work.

The ghan turned out fabulous; not that I'm surprised all your creations do. I'm not familiar with that method of joining, must take a look at it.

Fun fun colors in your hat and scarf set...someone will be not only warm, but stylish in that.

Keep up the good work
Sandy

What a nice ghan! I kept meaning to do that CAL but other things interfered. It's a great site though. Good job! Love the shiny hat and scarf too. I like that Bright Lights yarn. I've used it before. Really makes a nice showing I think.
