Pictures of my lap afghan & doll

OK ... here's pictures of the lap afghan so far ... and you can see in the other pictures, what I mean by the tied off ends along the edge.

I included a few pictures of the 'after surgery' doll I made for my sister ... just a simple thing for her to squeeze when she's in pain. LOL

Hi

Another idea is to just do a single crochet done the sides and crochet the ends under while you do the single crochet.

The lapghan looks wonderful.

Very pretty. I love the colours. Just weave the ends in, and it will be perfect!

Hi DeeDee,

Very pretty and I agree with Leah and Darlene and Katherine. The only thing I would do when you continue is leave the end piece a little longer that way you can weave it under the stitches much easier. I've never left as much as Leah, maybe two or three inches and that's worked for me.

I love the doll and know your sister will get some use out of it.

Hugs,

Nora
