I feel your pain! I learned a long time ago to attach a hook size marker to my projects as well as mark where I am on a pattern. I have lots of blankets that are not really a set pattern, so I have also included the stitches I used and other notes.
At least you caught it before it was finished!
I’ve finished frogging now, and then decided to join the last finished strip to the rest of the throw, before starting the next strip. But aarghh, now I remember why I gave up on that last time 
I have to single crochet around the side of both pieces of crochet, but there’s so much counting! 13 single crochet stitches in the space between row 1 and 7, and in between row 7 and 8, 13 single crochet stitches between row 8 and 14, one in the middle of row 15 etc etc. Who has time for that?! I wish they had mentioned that earlier so I could have put in stitch markers earlier, but they only mention it at the end.
I don’t have stitch markets with me here so maybe that’s a sign I should just start the next strip instead…
Or go buy sock yarn.
That little cartoon angel on my shoulder told me I should finish my other WIP before buying more sock yarn! But every minute that goes by, I’m more and more tempted by that little cartoon devil whispering in my other ear, and I just happen to pass by the yarn shop tomorrow…
You are all so funny! “Go buy sock yarn!”
I’ve made stitch markers out of yarn before. Just do a simple loop with a short length of a different colored yarn. Or “Go buy sock yarn!”
Anyway, I finished another basket, and the bin of random wool/unknown is diminishing. I’m down to mostly neutrals. The next one is going to be grays.
Great basket! Aren’t they handiest things? I have a few more skeins of chunky yarn that I need to destash as well…and then, the daunting task of all the fingering weight yarns…I am attracted to the colors so I buy without a project in mind…NO MORE! (I say sheepishly and without conviction!)
@skrutt and @mellybelly81 … I think you should post progress shots of your temperature projects 
Uhm, I dont know if I dare to share! 
Im almost two month behind now. January went fine, but feb and march… I have the temperatures though. Just need to sit down some day and crochet some.
This weekend Im busy, but I will do some crochet soon and show a pic! Thanks for asking @Cindy !
That’s actually a great idea! I’ll try that tomorrow by daylight. It’s quite difficult to see, it’s all white and I used a fine yarn.
I too am a bit behind as I have been concentrating on the tunic for my sister’s birthday in April. I don’t think I posted recently before I stopped, so I think there will still be some progress. Thanks for the kick, I mean reminder!
Well, I actually went inside the craft shop yesterday, and they didn’t have any sock yarns that I liked. So I suppose I’m stuck finishing this project first
It’s the Nostalgia 2018 CAL from the Dutch website Haakplein (but it’s available in English as well) and I just started strip 4 out of 5. They’re actually doing a Nostalgia 2.0 CAL this year, but I didn’t feel I could even think of making that before this one is finished. I’m actually not even sure what I’m going to do with this afghan when it’s finished. Whether or not I start the 2.0 may also depend on how much yarn I have leftover from Nostalgia 2018.
Well, I used my new crochet hooks (Clover Amour) and my old ones are in storage. My new crochet hooks are so comfortable that my tension was all off, and I had crocheted 50 rows before I found that out. So I frogged it again and will start over today. We’re visiting family today so I’ll be able to crochet on the train. This is why I’m still working on a CAL from 2018 
Bummer, that’s a lot of work to frog.
HEY EV-ERY-BODY! It’s time to vote in the Spring Is In The Air Challenge! Get on over there before the poll closes on March 27, 2023!
Another basket…officially obsessed. And another is started. If I start buying yarn for more, stop me, this is a stash buster project
lol I had to stop myself from buying more yarn for a couple of my supposed “stash busters”…DON’T DO IT!
Love the baskets…I am working on my fingering weight and sock weight yarns now…I do, however, have enough chunky acrylic to make maybe two more baskets when my hands feel up to it! ha ha they are addicting!
The color and stitch are lovely. A little bit of goodness.
