my star afghan pattern
My 6 Point Star Afghanpattern has been used! I've had a few questions from people who are working on it so I know people have tried it. I came across this blog post about it recently: someone finished it and posted a photo. It looks great! It's very cool to see that it worked out well for someone else :) She also has a lot of links to free patterns on her blog so check her out!

Stash-ghan Progress
I added several more rows this weekend. I'm getting very close to using up all of my bulky scrap stash! It's about 4 feet in diameter now. I'm debating whether or not I want to use some white boucle next.

What about me?
I wrote a crochet pattern for the star shaped afghan in the photo so I was trying to get a picture of it to post with the pattern (you can find the pattern here if you're interested). But Meiby is so used to having the camera pointed at her that she kept getting in the shot. She's so sweet :)
Also, sorry about the laser eyes. I kept trying to fix them but it kept looking creepy so I left them as is.

6 Point Star Afghan Pattern
This post has been moved to StrandOverFist.com. Please update your bookmarks and check there for more patterns :)
I wrote a pattern! This is the first time I've taken the time to write down a pattern of my own. It started from trying out lots of "round ripple" and "star-ghans" and finding what worked best for me and the yarn I had on hand. This was an attempt to use up lots of scrap yarn that I had laying around, most of it being bulky or heavy worsted weight. It hasn't been tested by anyone but me (the photo above is what I've finished so far) so if you have any problems with the pattern, let me know!
Materials needed:
Any bulky weight yarn
size M hook (9mm)
Ch 5, slip stitch into beg. chain to form a ring
row 1: ch2 (counts as first hdc), 11 hdc into ring, sl into top of ch2 to join (12hdc)
row2: ch3 (counts as first dc here and throughout pattern), dc into same stitch, 2dc
into each of remaining stitches, sl st to join (24 dc)
row3: *ch6, skip next 3 dc, sc into next dc* repeat from star 5 times, sl st into first ch to join (6 ch6 spaces)
row4: sl st into first ch6 space, ch3, 2 dc into ch6 space, ch2, 3dc, (3dc, ch2, 3dc) into each space around, sl st to join (6 points made)
row5: ch3, dc into next dc, (3dc, ch2, 3dc) in ch2 space, dc into next 2 dc, sk 2 dc, *dc into next 2 dc, (3dc, ch2, 3dc) into ch2 space, dc into next 2 dc, sk 2 dc* around, sl st to join (60 dc)
row6: ch3, dc into next 2 dc, (2dc, ch2, 2dc) in ch2 space, dc into next 3 dc, sk 2 dc, *dc into next 3 dc, (2dc, ch2, 3dc) into ch2 space, dc into next 3 dc, sk 2 dc* around, sl st to join (72 dc)
rowX: repeat as row 6 until blanket is as large as you want, each round should have 12 more dc than the last (2 per point). If your blanket isn't laying flat, you can sub in (3dc, ch2, 3dc) instead of (2dc, ch2, 2dc) for a round as needed to even it out. (this would add 24 dc instead of 12 dc for that round). I ended up doing this about every 4th or 5th row.
