Another Star Afghan & More Stash Busting!

| 2 Comments



Because I was so close to finishing this baby afghan, I set my knitting aside today and finished this up. It’s another star afghan. With this one, I made it larger using 2 skeins of Bernat Softee Baby in pink and about 1 plus skeins of the same brand of yarn in Baby Denim Marl.

The center pink is 10 rows, then the blue is 10 rows, then the next pink section is 9 rows, and then after that I trimmed it with the blue yarn, one row of single crochet followed by one row of half-double crochet. It ended to be about 45 inches.

This made a good dent in the baby yarn stash, but I still have a fair amount of various blues, so I think I will whip up a granny square style one. I like baby afghans that start from the center and work out because that way I don’t have to worry about the end size so much. I really don’t want to have to go out and buy yarn to finish up a project when I’m trying to destash!

Welcome to the Crafty Princess Diaries, my weblog and site where I get to blab about my passion for crafts, primarily jewelry making, and my crafting career. My name is Tammy Powley, and I decided to call my blog the Crafty Princess Diaries because of this very dorky picture I have of myself and because my husband often refers to me as “the princess and the pea,” which is just another way to say that I tend to be particular sometimes. Along with this weblog, I have a number of jewelry making books published.
