Malabrigo Afghan
August 16th, 2007
This project has been in hibernation for a very very long time. A few days ago I decided to bring it out again and start another few squares. One would think that being a very simple all stockinette square, I’d be through these by now. I love knitting stockinette, especially when there are pretty colors. I think I’d just had my fill of the Malabrigo colors, and have gotten slightly bored with them. Once I arranged the squares to take a photo of them for this post, I realized how awesome the colors will be when sewn all together!
So far I’ve got 11 out of 36 squares done. I don’t quite have all the yarn for this; actually I probably only have enough yarn for half of the squares. As soon as I have more money I’ll need to get the rest, especially since I’m missing a few colors. It’ll totally be worth it when I’m finished with this, because it’ll be nice and big and warm.
I’ve been pondering a bit how I’m going to seam these rectangles, and I’m not quite sure yet. I don’t know if I want to do an invisible seam, or something crocheted in between. Should I do a contrasting yarn if I crochet it, or something that blends in? Much to think about, much to think about…
Ooo, I love Malabrigo and the nice simple squares are so pretty! I would probably do an invisible seam but that’s just me.
Invisible would be nice, but maybe consider doing a black crocheted joining? Might have a sort of stained-glass effect.
