Wonderful!

This afghan was a joy to make. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I was able to put together a 64 square afghan in 6 weeks. My daughter and son-in-law loved this great Christmas gift.

First Afghan

This afghan is awesome! When I finish it, it will be the first afghan that I have ever made! :-) I have already done around 12 or 13 squares, which will be about half of the afghan. (I plan to make my afghan a 5*5 square afghan.) My afghan uses a wide variety of different colors in no particular pattern. I haven't worked on it in a few weeks because I've been busy, but I plan to get back to it as soon as possible.

First Afghan (update)

Hey everyone! I have finally started back to working on my Good Cause Afghan! I have added on a few more squares and I now have 17 squares on it! instead of doing a 5*5 afghan, I changed my mind and will make it a 6*6 afghan. (Maybe 7*7. I don't know.) I will be sure to keep you updated and I hope this inspires you to make this afghan, too! (If you don't have the magazine, check under "free patterns". Yes, it has recently become a free pattern!)

Thank you...

Thank you, Crochet Today!  After spotting this beautiful Good Cause afghan in your magazine, I began crochetting again after 30 YEARS!!!  I've already made 5 squares and just started yesterday.
