Designing Afghans from Donated Squares
I'm pretty sure I have an afghan named crayons or box of crayons designed and waiting in the wings, but that's what I thought of while designing this particular afghan. How boring is it to name this Crayon 2? This is a mix of sizes and shapes and styles of squares, rectangles, sampler, granny's. I know I have some of the variegated yarn in my stash, but doubt there's enough to edge and join, might have to get more, as I think....I would like to use it for this ghan? Thoughts? Will that be too busy?
As I'm typing this post, color me popped into my head. How's that for a name?

Where are You and Your Yarn From?
I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.
Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

Definitely a good choice for a little boy. Varigated yarn would be cute I think. Keep it color charged all the way. Color Block, Color Me, Color Box, Color My World. Lots of good names for this one. I really lke it. Lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ideas and the visit Marj, appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteVery colorful and definitely crayon colors.
ReplyDeleteBox of Crayons is a great name Sandy. I love the color combo.
ReplyDeleteLove this one Sandy! Definately see the box of crayons going on. Or maybe a coloring book? Whatever it will be GREAT when finished. You have been one busy designing lady! What number are you up to at this point?
ReplyDeleteLovely! I adore these colours and anything really colourful, actually. "Collected Colours" for a name? Just what popped into my head :)
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I was scrolling down the page and saw the afghan I thought HOT. It is another aghan for someone to stay warm under this winter. Great job Sandy.
ReplyDeleteCrayon 2 may sound so "typical", but it is soo appropriate. I love this afghan. It just makes you want to get out your old box of 64 crayons. And yes, I still have the last one I bought when my youngest was in elementary school.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the visits and great ideas for names, appreciate it. I love to color so chuckled when I read Gail still has her box of crayons. I've got a box 24 right in my desk drawer!
ReplyDeleteSandy you are doing such a great job putting together all the squares and making them look so nice together.
