Rose Afghan

Sorry took me a bit to figure out what "SAL" meant. Here is the first Rose, but realized I did it wrong. I should have done "over two". I'm waiting for DMC 3685 to come, so it's missing couple stitches.

Well it looks just great! Will it make alot of difference to your pattern now, with it being smaller than you wanted?

It looks lovely like this! When you say you "should" have done it over two, do you mean that was your plan, or that's the rule? Because if the latter, let me put your mind at ease

-- many people stitch afghans over one (and even if no-one had ever done so, you'd still be allowed to be the first you know...)

Looks great!!

When you guys say "over two" and "over one" what do you mean? Do you mean "squares"?

Lovely! If you like it as it is but you want it a bit bigger, why not stitch a nice border around it that would fill some space?

it means "threads" -- when you work on evenweave you usually work "over two", but for miniature and other fine work you can work "over one". If you go to the glossary and scroll down a bit there's a picture of stitching on evenweave with the different stitches.

Wow - fabby!! I've started my first Afghan also (Winnie the Pooh) and I'm stitching over 1 and loving the look it gives - all stitches lovely and "snuggly" - I was thinking of working over two but unfortunately none of the patterns would have fitted in the squares

The pattern's directions calls for "over two".

Oh well -- you'll just have to face the fact that you're going to have a much more delicate afghan
