Piet Mondrian Afghan Update

Here is a picture of the bottom half of the never ending Mondrian afghan. I am almost done with the white squares I need to finish the last block for the top. Might sew in tails or might start the red squares. Why do I keep putting off those little red squares! LOL Back to my lunch before my hour is over.

What I am working on today

Brought UFO #3 with me to work today. Going to try to get some rows done on my lunch hour. I looked up the dimension of a shawl online and they range around 65 inches wide by 33 inches deep. Don't think I have enough yarn to go to 65 inches plus an edging. Think I will go to 60 inches and then edge the puppy!

The next UFO I work on should be the Mondrian inspired afghan since there are so many little red squares to make. Maybe I will start this monster and work on one of the smaller UFO's at the same time so I can see a color besides red.


This is the piece I drew inspiration from for my afghan.

My WIP Mission

After Mike asked me the other day, "When are you going to finish that Mondrian afghan you started for the fair?" Ok, I started the thing 3 years ago now. I am all done except for the red block and a few white squares. Off of the top of my head, I believe that there are around 250 red two round granny squares left in the red block. Just have not been able to face them. But I do believe it is time to finish the thing and have it ready for the fair next year. Since this year's fair ends on Sunday I have over a year to complete my mission. I will pull the finished pieces out of the tote this weekend and take some pictures to post.

It was a dry year for me at the fair this year with my entries. No ribbons this time. The judges love the tiny lacy stuff on the baby items but I just can't work with a hook smaller than a F. So that puts me out of the loop there. If I had finished my felted purse I might have gotten something. Only three entries in that category this year. Could have done a better stuffing job on my safety barrel so he would have looked better. Oh well, will have to try again next year.
