‘waffling’
[North American] : fail to make up one’s
mind.
Apt!
I
first saw Diane’s admirable waffle stitch afghan(s) and immediately liked the
texture! Several months later, Denise’s enthusiasm proved too contagious to
resist. And the timing was right as I was convalescing in Dec.
After
these learning trials, I set about crocheting a cushion cover for hubby’s chair.
Which is why I started out with a 15” length. But started to get bored with
the single colour (wish I'd factored in some white!) and tied off, changing my plan to
an afghan. This first strip is worked along the length, but rest were worked up from the shorter side.
8
strips worked so far in 4 different colours. Each measures around 15”x3½” and weighs about 20gms. Jaypee knitting yarn/wool and 2.25mm/size13 hook.
Multiples
of 3 and 2 extra chain stitches to start off, so that I get the same effect on
either side.
I
used only 2ch to turn.
Wanted
to lay them flat before posting, but …
I
need plenty more, but don’t know how to arrange them yet. Lots of arrangement ideas
jotted in my grid pages, however my current waffling hampers progress!
Meanwhile
I had other deadlines to meet, stuff to finish.
One
thing is for certain; the entire afghan won't be waffle stitch. I
intend to knit a few panels/blocks using different stitches – perhaps in batches of 8.
I kind of got into a rhythm with the stitch and it went fairly quickly; it consume a lot of yarn.

Yelp! I’m leaving I’m
leaving ;-P
