Karen C - California · Answer

When I finish a round, I flip it over and just pull the ends through the shafts of the DC.  Takes about two seconds.

Liz from Humbug · Answer

have a granny square afghan that my grandmother made for me about 35years ago that fits the top of my CA. King bed, and I have a one hugegranny square afghan that I use as a bedspread but, after making onesmall afghan with granny squares, I swore off of afghans involving agazillion little pieces that need to be connected.  Now I just stick toone piece afghans or, MAYBE, if I like the pattern enough, ones thatinvolve stripes.  I HATE attaching all of those squares! ! !Liz from Humbug

Mary · Answer

I've been crocheting for years.  Last year I made 3 child-size afghansin a month -- wanted to get them finished before I took off on a longvacation, returning just before Thanksgiving when I planned to givethem to the kids.  One was in pinks, purple, and white granny squaresfor a 4-year old girl, and the other two were done in blues, green, andwhite for toddler-age boys and done as single elongated granny squares(no assembly needed!).  The kids loved them, dragged them around allweekend, slept with them, and sat on them to watch TV.  Done in acrylicyard, they machine wash and dry very nicely.  Through the years I havealso made adult-size afghans of all sorts, some for gifts and some tokeep.         wrote:
