    Re: Crochet - My Weight Loss Afghan

    maybe this will help Crochet Guild of America .

    I just searched on 'left hand crochet' and there are numerous sites - I'm sure you could find one for caps - good luck.

      Re: Crochet - My Weight Loss Afghan

      Wow, I can't believe it took me a month to get one more square on my blanket. I knew I was fighting those pounds, but that doesn't make me feel very good...even tho I was thrilled to get to a new low.

      I think I've learned a lot this last month. I've been more dedicated, I'm staring to journal more, and I'm feeling great.

      Here's my afghan with 21 squares - hope to add more than 1 in the month of November.

        Fantastic idea! I need to take the time to learn how to do it. My husband's grandmother was showing me how, but I got stuck on making the turn at the end of the line and gave up.

                this is a great inspiration. do u mind if i borrow the concept . i even think u should start a blog with ur idea and invite others to join u . i know for myself i try to make reward point for every pounds lost but becoz i get busy with my schedule .i forget to reward myself. i am gonna try this ,
                one question, when do u start crocheting each piece -when reach the traget or on ur way?



                start weight =114 kgs
                goal weight =80 kgs

                1st goal-under 110 achvd (6/12/09)

                  Barrnone--awesome idea! Love your afghan, and wow, it's going to mean so much when you are tiny and all snuggled in it when it's done.

                      Thanks - not sure about a blog, have never done one before - but I'll think on it. I do the square after I lose the pound. They are quick to make, so it's an exciting day for me when I get to do a new one. I'll try to get another one this month

                      If I lose all the weight, it will be huge!!! But, yes, it will mean alot.

                      I think there is a craft section - we should start using it more. I love crafts!
