A few weeks ago, our area got its first frost of the season. Since then the temperatures have been on an uneven cooling spree. Some days are warm and other days are quite chilly. It gets down to almost freezing during the night. Cool weather puts me in the mood to do puzzles. Since my Country Apple Afghan granny squares are made and putting them together is kind of like a puzzle, I decided to put it together.
It took a couple weeks, but I’ve got the blocks and the borders made and ready to be joined together.
I like this pattern. I’m not fond of all the yarn-ends that have to be woven in, but hey it’s one of those necessary aggravations that come with yarn crafts.
I think this afghan is going to look pretty when it’s all joined and finished.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

Thanks so much Peggy,
I’m hoping my blanket turns turns out pretty or at least close to what the pattern photo looks like.
The red is Cherry Red, but I can’t get my camera to show it’s richness. I enjoy the digital age of photos, but my cameras have trouble with some colors. 🙂

Oh I love all the bits and pieces to your Apple blanket! It is going to be amazing! It didn’t seem to take you too long to get all the pieces crocheted up either! Great job! Love the border strips. I look forward to seeing it all come together.

Thanks so much Ginny,
It’s taken me longer than I’d hoped. But I kind of like going at it at a steady pace instead of rushing through it. I hope to have it all together before the first of the year. 😀

Oh, so cute! I love how the apples are created with two colored squares! But yes, I can see that ends are a problem!
