Most people don't have the time, they think, to knit an afghan but I am making the "Anyone Can Knit an Afghan in 7 Minutes a Day." It's easy and it's fun.

I used knitting worsted weight yarn and a size 9 circular knitting needle. I cast on about 250 stitches and here's the fun part. If you knit only one row per day the afghan is completed in 365 days because that's 365 rows. Almost anyone can knit one row a day.

I knit the first 10 rows or so in seed stitch and kept 10 stitches on each side in seed stitch just to keep the afghan from curling. Of course, you can work more than one row a day and the afghan will be longer or you can stop when it's the size you want. It's a great way to use up odds and ends of left over yarn.

That's a cool idea on how to get an afghan done one row at a time...good job! I keep my crocheting with me in the car and while waiting at long stop lights on my way to work I sometimes pick it up and crochet a few stitches. You'd be surprised how much you can get done at a light, and the looks you get from your fellow drivers.

Have seen a lot of 'mentions' of an afghan but not sure what it is:-(( Anyone got a picture? Is it a scarf or a rug?

Editor's Note: An Afghan is a hand crafted wool blanket or shawl, generally knitted or crocheted. They are often draped on furniture, or used as a personal blanket. Here's one: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf95015932.tip.html
