Making BOTH Blankets!

Is everyone keeping up with their clues? I'm going to be having a crochet marathon today to finish up Clue #2 for afghan 2 before tomorrow.

How is everyone else doing? I really want to stay current on the clues

I was able to do all of clue #1 in a couple of days but clue #2 is posing more of a time challenge. I am also having reoccurring problems with my thumbs which I hope doesn't mean that I am going to have to put it all aside for a long while. I am definitely falling behind - sigh.

On the 2010 CAL, I found that I was finishing the clues too quickly and needed to do something else so I started a second CAL. That was the week before the mitred squares came out--it took me three weeks to get all of those done and blocked to the correct size. I have learned my lesson about starting a second one until I see how the first works. I am spending my free time on stash yarn baby blankets.

Yep!! Two!!! First clue was so speedy and had me anxious for the remainder of the week to pass that I just had to start another. As with most of you I had absolutely no problem getting enough from my stash to pick up a 2nd "colorway" to start &am so pleased that I did. Both will probably find a home elsewhere as I seldom keep what I create. The joy is in the making...LOL of course w/the 2nd the Colors r a little weird but it is m ine

Sorry to hear you're having problems. I definitely felt it in my wrist last night after crocheting for most of the day. Hope you are able to catch up. If not, just finish at your own pace

I definitely find joy in the process and even feel a bit sad when I'm done. But I always have the next project started in my head, so I'm never without something to keep my hands busy

I have been keeping up. I'm enjoying the waverly yarn and pattern so much I picked up yarn for a 3rd one. Don't know if I will try working on it while doing the other 2 or once I am completed. I do know that I will have an awesome start on Xmas this year for once

I'm doing the CAL and the KAL.

The crochet goes fast, and the knitting is going very slow.

But will keep working on it!

Didn't they say in an earlier post that there will be "catch-up" weeks? That should help with the stress of trying to keep up but create the stress of no new clue that week. My hands go to sleep while crocheting so I am having to wear my wrist braces at night--that does help.

I have been tempted to buy for a third too!!!
I love the pattern, I have always wanted to try a hexagon or octagon shape!
If I do buy for a third, I will make it after these, and of course I will have to hide the yarn from my husband.
He may start looking for a 12 step program for yarn-a-holics!

I have 9 yarn storage boxes under a high iron bed and another 3 in a closet. There is not such thing as too much yarn. I understand about hiding yarn!!!
