Crocheting the Lorenz manifold

Crocheting the Lorenz manifold pdf instructions

I haven't a clue what a Lorenz manifold is and I don't really have any need to crochet one, but I kind of like odd stuff and this definitely qualifies as odd stuff.

Famous last words

Just yesterday I was bemoaning the fact I have been uninspired, craftily speaking, so what do I do today? I begin a baby afghan for a co-worker's baby shower to be held in the middle of June. Here's your first look at Abigaile's Afghan . . .


After the red, there will be two more colors before the colors repeat.

This is a basic ripple afghan. The pattern is three rows of double crochet in whatever wonderful color(s) you have handy followed by one row of single crochet in the highlight color.

I'm using fingering weight/sock yarn with a size G (US) crochet hook. Starting with a 219 stitch chain gets an afghan about 28 - 29 inches in width. Since it's not done yet, I can't tell you how long it will be. Well, that isn't strictly true. I could do the math to figure it out, but this is the weekend and I don't do math.

;D

Lace & Bobbles afghan

I actually crocheted a bit on the afghan last Thursday. I came home from work frozen solid so it seemed like the thing to do to work on it. I finished round 69 and almost finished round 70 before I warmed up. I took a couple of close-ups of it to show off the stitches, but we all know what a wonderful photographer I am. ;D

I've finally found it!

Two years ago before I moved into the house, I was working on an afghan. When I moved, it disappeared. I was sitting watching Prime Suspect on BBC America and knitting on the scarf, and it just popped into my head where the afghan was stashed. Sure enough, there it was.

This is the Lace and Bobbles afghan from Leisure Arts Leaflet 2159, Scrap Yarn Afghans Book Two. I'm working it very tight in greens and cream. It was meant to be an afghan for a child, but the child is now grown so it will just have to be a lap rug. As soon as I get done with the scarf, I think I'll go back to finish this.
