63 to Crochet
I've been working on the 63 Easy-to-Crochet Pattern Stitches sampler afghan as a secret present for my husband. I like making a squares afghan, because if he sees any one square, I can claim it's for an exchange, and he won't get suspicious (maybe; but then again, he's paid to be suspicious).
I've got a chart below of the square so I can update as I go. The italic squares are not yet done. I am using Wool Ease in a brick red, heather grey (main color), and hunter green. It's looking great! I'm using an I hook, so each square is bigger than the pattern calls for, the afghan will be bigger than the pattern calls for, but that's A-OK, because my husband is bigger than the pattern calls for (he's 6'4").
Square Count: 38 (over halfway there!) updated 5/25/2006
