blooming
my afghan grows .. even if you take it literally ^__^
and since I needed to order all the yarn for this new project and waiting for it to arrive felt like ages I even continued working on a blanket that's been sleeping on my couch for nearly two years: the Eichenlaub which made me feel like a chipmunk
for the flower squares I used the Crocodile sticth blocks by Joyce Lewis, but I made some alternations to them and also created a smaller version with only 5 petals to make the smaller flower squares, which I'm thinking to add as a pattern to the database but would ask the designer of the original square first
cheerio, Diana

I love your afghan! Using a very simple background stitch brings out and showcases the beautiful flowers! I would love to have the pattern so I might make one also.
AntwortenLöschenGreat Job! I look forward to seeing the final piece!
thank you :)
Löschenmmm...yummy afghan, Diana. flowers are wonderful! are you using acrylic or any other yarn blend?
AntwortenLöschenhave a nice day!
actually I'm using catania, which made me wonder about the weight in the end, since it's 100% cotton, but I guess a blanket type thing can be a bit heavy :)
