[NFB-Krafters-Korner] okay, now it is okay to cheer.

[Bernice Bird]

I think I heard someone mention the log cabin pattern, and so I looked it up
on the internet. It is very easy. I could send you the document I wrote for
the class. The learning comes from picking up stitches at the edge of your
work. Other than picking up stitches and binding off at the end of each
section, it is strait knitting. I'm so tired of it because I find it boring.
It is a great way to use odd balls and skeins of yarn. I have used all
different shades of blue except the center square which is purple. Someone
told me it was blue. Then a different person asked me why I have purple in
the middle. Now I'm doing a different shade of purple going around the
afghan.
I bought the fisherman knit afghan book about 50 years ago when I had a
sighted husband to read me the directions. Then a friend of mine that was a
volunteer braillist brailled the whole book for me.
I found out about a temperature blanket at a craft group I go to.

Congratulations!  You are so persistent and determined.  Is the log cabin
afghan as difficult as the Fishermen's one?  I am still looking for a
pattern for my 4 grandchildren, but not something so hard that  requires my
complete concentration all the way through.  
Where do you get these great patterns?

I took my final strip for my fisherman afghan back almost half way. Then
yesterday while working on it during work time between calls, I made a
mistake. I kind of threw it down and quit for last night. I finished that
baby this morning. I laid out all 6 strips on top of each other to make sure
they all felt great and they were the same length. Hurray, they are all
ready to crochet together.

When I started crocheting 2 strips together before I discovered a mistake, I
was picking up the edge thread, but I think picking up the second thread in
will make a sturdier edge. What to do you crocheters think?

Maybe I should do a half double. I would appreciate opinions.

When I work, I hold my work keyboard on my lap, so, I'm thinking I won't be
able to crochet the strips together between calls. I guess I will work on my
log cabin afghan, except it is getting pretty big by now. Maybe I will have
to start a new project.
