Granny square rose afghan

I've finally decided to get my email, blogs, and other web stuff out of graduate school mode and into chemistry professor mode, especially since I've been teaching college chemistry continuously since 2010! I'll be phasing out my other blogs, so I'll be posting content about my crochet projects, chemistry education, really bad poetry, recipes, and other stuff on this blog. Just a sneak peek at my latest project (pattern from Craft Elf):

So far I've completed 26 out of 42 squares: when I posted this Tuesday on Instagram and my personal Facebook (I no longer have the Facebook account), I had completed 20. I have the yarn for another version of this afghan. 

The above project was completed in 2018 with additions in 2019 as the person who bought it needed additional length on the afghan.

The yarn I'm using for the current and future projects is Caron Simply Soft.
As of 2/22/22: Past project: Flowers in Pumpkin and Light Country Peach, leaves in Sage, and border in Off White. I made the edging for the whole afghan in Off White.
Current project: Flowers in Burgundy (leaves in Dark Sage) and Plum Wine (leaves in Dark Sage), and border in Off White. The edging will be Off White. I ended up making enough squares for three twin-sized afghans, and I'm almost finished with the third one. I will have a future post with a picture of one of the finished afghans.
