And did you know there is a word for your blue and brown color combination (which sounds great, btw) -- chocqua!

I learned to crochet before I learned to knit, and even left-handed I found it much easier, faster and more forgiving---and SO much easier to work in circles!<BR/><BR/>I think it's great to use whatever method for the afghan that works best for you and the yarn---if that's crochet, it IS much faster so go for it!! It looks like it's going to be great!<BR/><BR/>I secretly long to work up some stuff with "the C-word," but unfortunately, it ramps up my forearm tendinitis to unbearable levels....otherwise I think there would be more mixing of crochet and knitting around here! I've never been a loyalist to one craft---used to LOVE macrame', beading and pine-needle basketry....yes, another child of the 70's! :)knottykittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14543761535290092101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-21386308011859642642007-11-07T07:57:00.000-08:002007-11-07T07:57:00.000-08:00Uh oh.
