Another Afghan

Just another afghan, made (almost) entirely out of yarn I had sitting around. A long time ago, when I was learning the 'basketweave' crochet pattern, I thought I would make an afghan using it. The basketweave uses a lot more yarn than regular crocheting, and it ended up being way too thick, and with not enough yarn (yarn was given to me, so these colors/dyelots were in limited supply), so I quit halfway through, and let it sink to the bottom of one of my project buckets.

I was recently digging through my buckets, found these yarns, and decided to rip out the whole half-finished afghan, and start fresh, this time with squares. It was a MUCH more efficient use of the yarn that I had, and this time I was able to finish the project. I had to buy an extra skein of the ecru color; I managed to find a similar weight and color, but other than that it's all yarn I had around- more is leaving the house!

On a related note: this afghan goes to charity (Project Linus) unless someone wants it.

PS: The basketweave was recently resurrected, but this time with a lighter baby-weight yarn- much more pleasant result.
