progress

The blanket/afghan is already looking good!

I’m excited.  The diamonds kind of look like little stamps, or maybe little patchwork squares sewn roughly together… cute!

By the way, this pattern is not easy on hands.  Just a few rows and my right hand starts aching.  I’ll keep on keepin’ on, though!  More progress soon!

and we’re off!

It’s nice and rainy here, so I’ll be working more this evening, but here’s what I’ve got so far:

The red row has those holes at the bottom where the chain was stretched out, but I hope that will be minimized when I put a border on the blanket and even out the chain stitches a bit.

I’m off to hook some more!  I think I’ll take this to class tonight…
