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!

OK, here it is!!

I know it is not 100% finished yet, but many of you can't wait to see what I've done to my living room! I still need to get some new furniture...recliner, new end table and entertainment center...but you get the idea. I did new paint, curtains-pillows-lamp shade, screen door, wood baseboards, and hung the pictures. I think I spent about $1000 for everything.

New blue wall, couch from the playroom, new photo prints, lamp on left from goodwill and I covered the lampshade and made matching pillows. I still need to crochet an afghan and matching pillow.


Wall of photos...Heather and my nieces and nephews.


I made the curtains and you can see my new screen door.


Dog bed, my antique clock, and a fun wall decal.

Well, please tell me what you think!
