Lapghan for Charity--Finished!


I'm finally getting some projects completed so I can post them. Here for your enjoyment is a completed lapghan made by using "magic ball" yarn with another strand (I used black) and basically double crocheting it the desired size. I got the idea from this blog. I liked the idea of using my little "leftover") yarn balls. I think it is better than using the granny square technique because granny squares are (for me) a tedious process of weaving and sewing after the squares are made. UPDATE: My round ripple afghan has only 4 more rounds to go! I hope to have it completed and a picture posted soon. Hugs to all...

  1. Beautiful lapafghan. I did one similar but with 3 strands of scrap yarn, no magic ball. They're usually called 3SUB (3 strand ugly blanket--but they are never ugly).

  2. After reading your comment, I went to google and ended up back at crochetville (of course) and looked at some examples of 3SUBs. They're beautiful especially the different patterns some used. I used one strand of black throughout but I noticed that many of these just used totally random colors and they are beautiful! Thanks for stopping in.

  3. That looks great! I love how the black seems to make the colors stand out more.
