Decisions, Decisions

So my wonderful hubby has requested a crocheted afghan for our newly redecorated bedroom. For the life of me, I can not decide on what type of design to use!! The room is a little busy with a Log Cabin style quilt (not shown in the picture) and the curtains feature squares as well. We kinda have a southwestern feel to the room with sage and terra cotta colored walls and a rustic log bed. With all this busy-ness going on, I think I would like to see a solid colored blanket....maybe a nice dark sand or tan color. But that is as far as I get!!

Do I want motifs?? Not a big fan of making all those little squares and sewing them together.

Ripples?? Nah, I think that would just be too busy.

Textured? Possibly. But as a sampler? Or just a simple design throughout?

So, if you have any ideas or pattern suggestions, please let me know!! I'd really like to make this before Summer!! LOL!!

The Living Room Afghan

So I finally figured out the afghan I will make for my new living room. I decided to use this beautiful pattern from Knit and Crochet Today, called Blushing Grannies by Michele Wilcox!

I am using Caron Simply Soft yarn. The center is Bone, the middle is Light Country Blue, and the outer edge in Country Blue.

I'm not a big fan of making squares and sewing them together, so I will be taking my time on this project!! I plan on making 6 squares at a time and then blocking them. Here is a picture of my first set blocking. While they are blocking, I will work on another small project, then back to another set of squares. We'll see how this works out, LOL!!

Wish me luck!
