Slanted Shell Afghan, Happily Hooked Magazine Issue 37 and a Giveaway!

May 22, 2017

My Slanted Shell Afghan can be found in April 2017, Issue 37 of Happily Hooked Magazine. This issue features “Stitches and Textures that will take your crochet to the next level”.

Remember my Great to Be a Grenadier Slanted Shell Afghan(shown above)? I posted this in May of 2015, and designed it specifically for my old high school. I made it in their colors, and donated it to be auctioned off at an end of the year band concert. 
Well… Time for another silent auction so I worked up this new Still Great to Be a Grenadier Afghan named Slanted Shell Afghan for this issue of the Happily Hooked Magazine. This afghan features one of my favorite stitches – the Slanted Shell Stitch – in individual afghan squares, and then joined together using the Pull Loop Through (PLT) Method and one continuous join meaning less ends to weave in!

To complete your own Slanted Shell Afghan, you will need about two and a half skeins each of Color A and B and one skein of Color C for join and border of I Love This Yarn – I used the Red, Black and White colorways – or about 2262 yards of worsted weight yarn, and an I9/5.5mm crochet hook. 

Issue 37 Also Features…

      I haven't really ventured into lace designs, but that's a great idea! I will have to work on using some new stitch patterns. Thanks!

      I have been working on some preemie baby hat patterns, which are great for donating, and definitely want to add some more shawls, not only because they are a fantastic accessory, but also for Think Pink/Breast Cancer Awareness month. Thanks 🙂

      I have two shawl patterns under my belt now (not a whole lot, but a start), and I will be giving away a shawl pattern next month. I do love the versatility of shawls, and would like to work on some more of them. Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
