I'm working on another mini afghan. I use vintage needle-punch yarn for my mini afghans. It's a very fine yarn, perfect for tiny projects. I've been collecting them and have a huge box full in a wide range of colours. The afghans are a nice mindless project to work on in the evenings while listening to the TV. Back in June I started a mini version of a full size one I'd made for our second son when he was little. It was called a 'Granny Ripple', and I couldn't find the book the pattern was in, so found a picture online and had to work from that.
Last week I photographed the next chapter in Baron and Naomi's story, and there's hundreds of photos to process before I can start posting them, so I thought I'd share some of the other things I'm currently working on, in addition to the Phantom costume.

I used it on the bed in the Tooth Fairy photos.... With that afghan done, I chose another to work on. I personally prefer bright colours but decided this time to go with something more subdued in all my least favourite colours; beiges, browns, and greens (well, I do like cream and turquoise). After all, 'variety is the spice of life', and I'm sure some of my dolls would prefer a more neutral coloured afghan.

The colors are so vibrant in the first example. It is just amazing to me how you can create such a tiny work of art.

The mini afghans are both very pretty, each in its own distinct way.

Definitely! I think it actually takes longer to weave the ends in than it does to crochet each square.

Does crocheting in that size hurt? I got a recurring RSI from it.

No. I just have to watch my posture so I don't lean to the right and aggravate my spinal stenosis. Plus I shouldn't do it too long at once or my carpal tunnel acts up. It's just a nice easy something to do in the evenings for an hour or two. Comments are closed.
