The first kitty-vigil square

[firecat]

I'm finding crochet very calming while I'm waiting to find out what's wrong with my sick kitty. I'm working on squares for a sampler afghan.









This is my favorite square so far. I love the ribbed texture and the stretchiness.

I'm running out of this yarn so I bought a bunch more, at annoying old Joann's, in blending colors. It's very cheap yarn, $2.50 for - 12 oz? - and I suppose the end product won't stand very many washings, but it works well enough.

I also bought some soft, fuzzy Lion Brand skeins to make a scarf or something.

Very pretty. I love verigated years, and I can tell you do, too.

Do you like doing the squares, or would you be interested in more solid patterns? I've never really donw squares (I hate peicing them together - I've watched my mom do it :) I usually make them as one piece. When our digital camera shows up, I'll take some pics of my afghans, and if you see a design you want to try, I'll send the pattern.

I'm watching Back to the Future, and will probably start working on my baby afgahn again in a few :)

Glad you're staying distracted.

This is my first attempt at crochet, and I figured the squares would be good for practicing on. I'll have to see how I do with piecing them together. After that I'll be up for some solid patterns. Thanks for the offer!
