Crocheting the Miles ~ Fitness Friday ~ 2/1/13

Crocheting a one row for every 3 miles (5K) walked to make a "Life-ghan" with Cris.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

365 Miles in 365 Days Challenge

Total Miles This Week:  7

Total Miles in 2013:  24

Rows allowed:  8

Rows completed: 8

I was just going to use three colors but I wanted it to be happier and more colorful so that I wouldn't get bored while making it.  These are the colors I finally decided to use.  They are all Red Heart "with Love":

Back Row:

Hot Pink, Bluebell, Daffodil, Violet, Lettuce

Front Row:

Boysenberry, Blue Hawaii, White, Mango

Each row represents 3 miles (5k).  I didn't get to use the "Lettuce" yet.  I need another 3 miles for that row!  What a great motivator, I tell you!  It measures approx 5 feet across but I'll be putting a border around the finished product.  I like large afghans so that it comfortably snuggles more than one person :)

I'm using an "H" hook to make it a nice, dense and warm pattern.  I'm making it a stripy afghan so that I don't have to concentrate much while I'm watching TV :)

I really want to be able to use that last color but it is blustery, cold and snowing today.  I'm not sure if I'll get a chance to get out and walk, especially for 3 miles.  I need to get my treadmill back off my aunt even if I hate walking on it!
