You might remember this post where I challenged myself to crochet an afghan in a day. What was special about this challenge was three things:
- As stated before, I DON’T crochet afghans
- This wasn’t one of those quickie 5 hours patterns; this afghan required crochet and sewing together 33 individual motifs
- Used a size G crochet hook. Not the ideal hook size when looking to bang out an afghan in a day
I was up to the challenge and finished this afghan in 25 hours. Yes, one hour longer than my original goal of completing it in a day. One measly little hour. BUT, I will say that I didn’t try all that hard, either. Sure I crocheted a ton more than I typically do during the day, but I had a leisurely dinner with a friend, got 8 hours of sleep…. so, ya know. I could have finished the afghan in one day if I really *tried*. At least that’s what I tell myself.
Pros of the project:
- Finished in almost a day
- Used up scrap yarn
- Ignited a new love of working with bright colors
- Instant Baby Gift
