“BAWL” Done! – Crochet Sampler Afghan

So, our Block-a-Week-Long (or BAWL) crochet-along is finally finished.  It’s been a full year, and even though I only participated in half of the year, I have still ended up with a lovely crochet sampler afghan.   It took only one afternoon to stitch it all together and put a little border around it (for border pattern, see my notes here).

Now that it’s over, I think I’ll miss the challenge of making one new square a week.  The selections were inspired, and many of them were squares that I would not have normally made otherwise.  For all the different squares, you can check out my Ravelry project organization page here.  Some of them turned out much better than I originally hoped for, others were a lesson in patience.  But the end result is another afghan that will keep little toes warm on chilly winter days and serve as something to snuggle up with a book and cup of coffee when the rain falls.

I needn’t fear, though!  I am still a part of several other crochet-alongs in the process of making more crochet sampler afghans.  If you want to join in, visit our Block-a-Month or our Crochet-Sampler-Favorite groups on Ravelry.  There’s much crocheting to be done!
