I hope someone can help you.  I have never stitched an afghan so I googled it and completely came up empty on this one :(  Do you know what type of fabric it is?  Maybe I can find something using the name of the fabric.

Crochet or knit? My mom crocheted granny squares for her bigger afghans. Maybe it's the type of yarn you are using. In my learning to crochet I've found yarns that I won't work with again because they get nasty, that's just making a scarf.
