Granny Square Afghan, cont'd...

Alright, so with having the day off so our new air conditioner could be installed, I had a little bit of time. I know it isn't much, but here is an update. I decided that I would also add some emerald green and gold coloring to the mix. I like the pattern I've made thus far. The squares that are a single color don't take as long to make, but they're also kind of boring. Also, tying off and hiding the ends of all the loose strings is a bit of a hassle, and I'm pretty sure the I do it isn't the "correct" method. My thought on that is, as long as you like the way it looks then how can it be wrong?

Anywho, I connected my squares with that I think is a whip stitch. I don't know if I'm doing it correctly, but going back to my previous point; I like the way it looks so I don't care. Now I just have to make like, 70 more of these suckers and I'll be set.

The reason why I need to make so many is because my boyfriend is 6'8", and I would like this to at least cover part of him. Not all of him because I think I'd give up on the project before it was finished. Anyway, I'll go over how to connect these dang squares the next time I have seven of them in a row. Please leave comments and let me know what you think so far!
