    Re: Crochet - My Weight Loss Afghan

    Thanks barrnone!
    I am thinking about doing it a little differently, though. I am going to add 5 crocheted rows on a blanket for every pound. I'm not that great at making granny squares lol

      I think I will also do the same. I have not made an afghan for me in a while. I think I will start one as well. But do different as well. I would do a row for each pound I lose. I have a lot so it will be nice and a motivation challenge as well to get to the end of the afghan.

        fontrella, I am doing 5 rows per pound, this way it will seem like I am loosing more than I am (which is kind of a confindence boost).....

                thanks barrnone!
                I have also decided to do only 2 rows per pound, since I accidentally made it not as wide as I wanted, and if I did 5 rows, it would be gigantic hahaha

                I am also starting on a purple baby blanket.

                Light purple- 6 rows
                Multicolor Purple- 3 rows
                Purple- 6 rows
                Multicolor Purple- 3 rows
                Repeat

                I am also thinking of adding one of those adorable hoods to it.
                I am going to work on this one when I'm not working on my Weight Loss Blanket.
                After I finish this one, I plan on making one in pinks. My cousin's wife is going to have twins soon.
