One of the crochet bloggers I follow posted about a Crochet-along where she contributed two patterns. Seemed like the perfect way to create a granny square afghan without the slight boredom of repeating the same square over and over again. Details on the Blog Hop here.

The finished afghan is comprised of 20 distinct granny squares – 2 each submitted by 10 crochet bloggers. Picked my colors yesterday; this Crochet-along was sponsored by Lion Brand yarn and I opted to use their Vanna’s Choice line. Looking over each of the 20 patterns, I figured I needed 4 main colors and 2 accent colors.

 

 

Last night I started the first square, Framed Hexagon, and managed to complete it this morning. Turned out pretty well – even considering that I had to undo 2 rounds to insert the one round I missed! I’m really liking the colors and I am looking forward to the next pattern.
