Rolling Hills Afghan Ready to be Donated

Rolling Hills is now completed.  It's been laundered and is being blocked and drying, as we speak.  The colors aren't quite right as it's showing up here, my light must have been a bit wacky.

There's the more true colors before stripes were evened out, edge and joined.  Added several inches on each side as well to make it a better width.

Brickyard will be the next project.  Stay tuned.

Hope you're all keeping busy during our various shut downs, stay at home orders etc.  Please stay safe and well.

Rolling Hills is in The Works

Rolling Hills is the name I chose for this group of strips.  Brown and green, earthy; but if someone has a suggestion I'm happy to rename it.  These strips are again from that donation intended to be scarves, that just weren't sized to fit the need.

I've laid this out to see how much is needed to make them all the same size so they can be joined to make another afghan.  These are quite narrow and will need additional crocheting to make the width appropriate; but I do love the color combination.  I have both tan and green to use in adding, edging and joining.  I will have some more need to do some over-stitching due to the yarn being cut immediately after knots; but it seems less of a problem than it was in the previous afghan, Pippy Longstocking.

As I type this post, I can actually see sunshine outside my window!  That's pretty exciting because we surely haven't seen much of it.  AND I can begin to see some hopeful signs of spring with some green poking through the dirt in some of my flower beds.  Come on Spring.

How's the weather in your neck of the wood, and what are you all working on with your hooks and needles?

Rolling Hills Afghan for Homess

This afghan has been designed from crocheted scarves that weren't large enough for our needs.  My daughter helped me design this afghan in the works.  I like the blend of brown and green.  The stripes aren't quite the same size, but with some edging which will be in tan, it should come together nicely.  It will need a good size border to make the afghan an appropriate size.  As always, I searched for a name for this afghan and came up with Earth and Sand, or Sandy Grass; but wasn't sold on either of those names.  A Fitbit friend saw the picture and came up with Rolling Hills.  I think that's a good name, makes me think of fields with grass and earth and things growing perhaps in a farmers field.

This afghan to be is currently resting in one of my project bags, waiting it's turn to grow.  Please stay tuned.  Hoping to get this completed in the near future.

This idea of stripes is a good way to use up yarn in your stash, it's also a bit easier or perhaps quicker than the assembly of an afghan with lots of squares or rectangles.  Also, it seems there will be less ends to work in.  If you've not made an afghan using this method, please give it a try.  We here at Bridge and Beyond would love to donate one of your afghans made this way.




**The counts on our progress bars are current, the percentages not quite. I'll not be figure the percentages with each update of numbers, but will be updating again next at least by the 20th. I have in fact made a reminder not on my cell phone for the 20th of each month to do percentages. If we're at a milestone, or I just have extra time I may do it more often...but certainly at that scheduled time.
