Oh Deer

Well as I stated before I fell in love with the C2C stitch. After looking on a few Facebook groups I seen that they were doing what is called “Graph-ghans” but instead of doing it as a single crochet they are doing it with the C2C stitch. You know me, had to try it! So I found an image and turned it into a graph and printed it out. Gathered up the supplies I bought for this and began to work. I must say, I started second guessing myself and wondering “when will I know when I need to start the decrease?” “How is this going to work?” But I plugged on and just let my hook and graph guide me. Glad I did. I found out doing it this way not only makes the the project a bit bigger but gives it a bit of something else. Whether you call it depth or what I’m not sure but I think it came out so much better then my first attempt at a graph project (even though it was for hubby he was pleased but my eye could see all the mistakes).

I must say, doing graph work is a bit different then the “norm” as your fingers are flying everywhere and doing color changes. I even started thinking that this couldn’t be right. But again I let the graph and my hook guide me. So once done I decided to add a border. It seemed smaller than I had expected but bigger none the less. I did a few rows of double crochet in the camo around it and a single row of orange. It’s a nice size lapghan. I weaved all the end tails in and took a look and I said “I’m done! I’m so proud of myself!” And I gave myself my own quiet and personal pat on the back.

Believe it or not I’m ready to roll onto the next one. Whether it be a C2C or single crochet I’m ready to hook on! Happy Crocheting!
