I've taken some time out from working on my Halloween pinwheel quilt the last couple of days to finish my Giant Granny Square Afghan that I started as part of Sucrette's Giant Granny CAL.
Here is my afghan on our king sized bed.
I used a variety of worsted weight yarn in about 30 different colors.
The border was round #70, and it took almost an entire 3.5 oz. skein of yarn for that outside round. The border is called Ole-Ole, and the chart is on Sucrette's blog.
It was fun doing this afghan with a group, but it was especially nice to get to know Cattinka, Cyn and Elly better since we all started the crochet along at about the same time.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you are doing some stitching this evening!

Totally awesome...looks great!
That's impressive! Is it heavy?
Looks great, LuAnn. Many years ago, I made large granny square afghans (certainly not this large, however!!!) for babies, and they never turned out quite swuare. Is there a secret? Or did you block it?
That is definitely the biggest Granny Square I have ever seen! It looks wonderful on your bed! Kind of like a scrappy quilt! : )
That is stunning! Very retro. My grandma used to make giant granny square afghans too. I think it is my favorite afghan pattern :)
Beautiful!! I can just imagine snuggling up in it!!
Now that looks cozy!
You weren't kidding when you said it was GIANT! What an accomplishment! Bet you can't stop smiling!
Now autumn needs to hurry up so you can snuggle under it!

Dear LuAnn,

Impressive - huge commitment there!
OMG!
LuAnn it is beautiful and must of weighed a tonne by the time it was finished.
Well done.
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes! This definitely is "it!"
Wow, it is SO pretty, looks great on the bed!
Quilting is definately my thing, but oh I love the feel of yarn thru my fingers sometimes also. I also think quilts and afghans are equally as sweet to cuddle in. This is beautiful.
Happy Stitching LuAnn!
Now that is an accomplishment - it turned out great. I find that crochet afghans are just so warm and heavy - just perfect for winter.
Beautiful!!! Carolyn :)
How warm and cozy.... Just in time for the chilly evenings......
Congrats on a great finish. Your GGS is GORGEOUS!! Your edging is wonderful, too. Did you finish yours yesterday? That's when I did, too... how funny. It has been so much fun crocheting along together. You and Katrin [Cattinka] were excellent support helping me 'remember' all the crochet skills I had forgotten. LOL. Thank you so much.
I love your blankie! Snuggle time.
Hugs,
;-)
Luann, that is beautiful. Now that is a big check for unfinished projects!!
One word ... Gorgeous!!
Wow, it is stunning. What a great accomplishment. It looks just perfect spread out on your bed like that. Love the last border. It finishes the project off perfectly.
Hi!! LuAnne, Your Afghan is amazing looks so lovely and warm. I think where you are is nearly winter so you are going to be so warm You won't want to get out of bed. haha
The work is great, LuAnn, is precious, simply wonderful, it has been a great quilt.

Greetings!
I love it and you'll be very cosy this winter, I've just taken my crochet blanket off the bed for spring.
Ooooo.... I can imagine how it's going to feel to snuggle under on a cold winter night. It's super gorgeous! Love the border too.
Fun project - and the best bonus - new friends!
