Crochet-Along Clue 7 (Week 8)

[crochetnut]

I finally finished the afghan as far as sewing it together. I was getting such a backache sitting on the couch sideways to sew the rows together, that my Dad suggested I clean the table off and put the afghan on the table. I tried that and it worked. My bad back is still sore today and may have to put my TENS unit on my back to kill the pain. But I did find relief by moving to the table. I used safety pins to hold the blocks together until I got to them with the sewing needle and yarn. Then I would remove that pin and continue sewing until I got to the next one. It really went quicker having it on the table then on the couch.

So, last night I was stitching the motifs together while watching TV, had them all in place and could not, for the life of me, find one motif I needed to add, so I thought maybe I just needed to make one more. When I get all done putting the rest together, weaving in the ends, etc. I realize that I sewed one in the wrong place. It was the one I had thought I needed to make yet. So I have this odd shape on one side and need to find the seem end so I can remove it. I guess that's what happens when I am watching TV until 2 am. LOL

I had a similar problem...I'm seaming with a horrible cold, running a high fever. I'm seaming in no particular order, just slapping it together as the color on my yarn needle requires. I finish one section, go onto another, and realize at the beginning of the previous section I attached one along the wrong side of the octagon..it's all puckered.

ggrr. rip rip rip. start over.



i'm about 3/4 done seaming. Hopefully I'll finish tonight after the kids are in bed.

I hope you feel better soon! I was seaming mine while working...first mistake, got the last row finished looked and it was all puckered and out of sequence, grrrr frogged it and finished it last night when I got home.

Time to start stitching.....I am back in KY with my mother who has gone downhill fast with the cancer. I am hoping to have the afghan done so she can see it. My sister and I have decided to place this CAL afghan on her coffin when she passes in lieu of a flower spray, thanks to a suggestion from our aunt. If you look back with my posts, the colors are my non-Waverly yarn which are totally my mother's colors. I will post a picture of the afghan when I get it completed. Thank you to all of the Bernat Forum members who have sent me encouraging messages and letting me know you are praying for us. All ya'll are the BEST!!

Quick update.....Mom passed away this morning peacefully and in her sleep. I am 3/4 of the way through seaming the afghan together, will have it done tomorrow and ready for the funeral on Monday. It will be borderless for the funeral but that is fine.

So sorry for your loss, i will keep you and your family in my prayers. The afghan idea is amazing, I am sure she would love it!

I've seamed 3 rows so far and I have to say I don't like mine at all. It isn't the pattern coz I love that, it's my color's. I think I might do this pattern again with other color choices.

Looks like you should be making some decreases too.

AlleyTalley,
Though it was expected, I am still so sorry to hear that your mother passed away. It is a blessing that she went quietly in her sleep and her family was with her. That is a lovely thing you are doing with your afghan. Peace to you and your family.
