Not Quite Art: Crochet

[DreamingofRoses]

<p>


So I wasn't sure where to put this, but since it's creative (and I like input) I'd like to share these: This is (almost) half an afghan. After I finish a few more rows, it's going to start getting smaller until I've formed a rectangle: <img src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/Weaver_Of_Silver/Crochet%20Works/Corner-to-CornerHalfway.jpg&key=dbc6f4a0a0c6c8591dbd542029144a74567d1bd1266f13264f44533d3e8a0570" class="ipsImage" alt="Corner-to-CornerHalfway.jpg" /><img src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/Weaver_Of_Silver/Crochet%20Works/C2CHalfclose.jpg&key=34525f3472d91f93085f28bee780515c7bfaf589f8df6466537c9f88c9a13f8a" class="ipsImage" alt="C2CHalfclose.jpg" /><img src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/Weaver_Of_Silver/Crochet%20Works/C2CCloseup.jpg&key=35c42f8fa029af6dd5dd48af7214bf3844a2bfe3ba1d443d72a6104c111a42ee" class="ipsImage" alt="C2CCloseup.jpg" /> This second one is one that you make all the individual squares and then sew them together. It's going to be a six by six square blanket (making rows of six squares apiece and then sewing those together). Both blankets are getting edging as well: <img src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/Weaver_Of_Silver/Crochet%20Works/StainedGlassWindow.jpg?t=1354909131&key=52ec8683b4f59a36900b984cf83aad0c327ae0dbc589c5957f8c711116419842" class="ipsImage" alt="StainedGlassWindow.jpg?t=1354909131" /><img src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/Weaver_Of_Silver/Crochet%20Works/th_DSCN1575.jpg?t=1354842752&key=26d967f56452bbf3156a9de9a7c7a5621c2789cb750e321af688f7fcc6bd5633" class="ipsImage" alt="th_DSCN1575.jpg?t=1354842752" /><img src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/Weaver_Of_Silver/Crochet%20Works/th_StainedGlassWindow2-1.jpg&key=4efa1825367c404310bb6d1a8f6e3161e1366e646176d8f97b38bab7b6bf0dc4" class="ipsImage" alt="th_StainedGlassWindow2-1.jpg" /> When they're done, I'll post final images of the blankets, but what do you all think? Do you like them? Would you possibly buy one if I made one custom order? (Just getting feedback, not actually planning to sell these. And sorry for the wonky colors, had some issues with my mom's camera.) Let me know if this needs to be moved/deleted, dear mods.

They look really nice! I'm impressed. I would never, ever be able to make that myself. But I would probably not buy one, as I have no money, whatsoever. Not that you knowing I'm broke helps you in any way, it's just... Yeah. Great job!

Wow. How long does it take to to do a row for your afghan? How big are those squares? It seems like that's going to take you awhile.

 

[DreamingofRoses]

It does take a while, yes. The squares are about a foot per side, I've been putting that one off though so it's taking longer than it should have. The striped one is almost as tall as me now (5'9" or 172.5 cm) but I've only been working on it for about a week (maybe 2 on the outside) before I ran out of brown yarn.

I am working on a blanket right now! For some reason it's the only thing I like to do, it takes a good amount of time to do them so I don't have to worry about making something else. (Because I have this time period where I have to find a new pattern. Normally a day or two.)


Is the first one on here a c2c blanket?
