Emily's Afghan & Earthquake

Large Solid Granny Square

Left over yarn for another project 

Wow! Finally done!  I think it turned out real nice

and Emily's happy.  It measures right about 60"

square.  I used about 7 skeins of red heart and yes I 

over bought.  A lot!  I'm still learning how to gauge

how much to buy.  I started with 13 skeins making

sure my dye lots matched knowing this is important

for the project to look good.  I'll post a pic to show 

how much is left over.  I'm very surprised.

Here's what I started with:  2 skeins 16 oz. each 

& 9 skeins of 7 oz. each.

Looks like I'll be starting my first Project Linus 

blanket.  I'm thinking of a ripple...yes?

Also on another note...Yes we felt the

EARTHQUAKE!

Holy Smokes what a feeling!  I'm sitting in my 

big comfy chair crocheting and then everything

starts moving.  It was the most bizarre feeling.

Almost made me feel motion sickness.  So 

where and what???   It was 20 miles south of the 

U.S. border in Baja Mexico and originally called a

6.9 on the richter scale but upgraded to a 7.2 ~ dang!
