I wanted to try a triangle pattern. So I did. ;o)

This motif begins through an unusual method, but it’s not at all hard to pick up.

I think this is going to be a cover for a small-to-medium-size pillow. Unless I become addicted and decide to make a whole blanket…

Later--
OK, I’ve already given in… I think it’s going to be an afghan.

Later still--
Ok, I’ve changed my mind again. This will be a pillow, because I don’t like weaving the ends of these triangles. They’re worse to weave than usual… (For me, at least.) I just don’t want to make a whole blanket’s worth of this motif.

Even later--
Argh! That’s it! It is going to be a blanket. I’ve woven in another one or two and decided that they’re not too bad. (g) (I am incredibly wishy-washy about this project, in case you couldn’t tell.)

August 22nd--
I need nine more triangles to finish my three strips of 18 triangles each!

September 17th--
After making my triangle strips, I evened each strip out a bit, then let my fancy take flight as I crocheted stripes lengthwise, following no pattern at all. Finally, I finished the whole thing with a wide border. The border is actually two borders from Edie Eckman’s Around the Corner Crochet Borders. First, I worked border #149 , then I followed with border #24. I changed colors every round in both borders.

There are some ends to weave (though I wove in the ends of the triangles as I went, thank goodness), then I’ll wash and photograph it.

It’s definitely a crazy, one-of-a-kind afghan. I think I’ll be satisfied with more traditional square or hexagon motifs for a while, now. (g)
