Afghan Obsession!

 

 

Hello dear friends!

 

It seems that I have an obsession.

I just can't stop making blankets!

We have blankets coming out our

ears, I tell ya!

 

 

This is my latest!

I wanted to do something really

different from what I usually do.

 

 

I have a love of gingham and decided

to try my hand at a gingham pattern.

There are many different patterns on the

internet, but I decided to make up my

own very easy version.

 

 

I crocheted it in rows and then sewed the

rows together.  It worked up really quick!

I used the half double crochet stitch throughout

because it gives it a nice weight.

 

 

The idea I had from the beginning was

that I wanted a shocking border color. 

Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn's

'Hot Rose' color was just what I wanted!

 

 

I just love the gingham effect it has!

I absolutely love playing with yarn and

experimenting with color!

I'm already wondering what to start

on next!

 

 

There's been a lot of sitting around this winter

and too many cookies, ahhh, the cookies . . .

I need to get back to my walking and hopefully

will be able to soon!

 

Have a wonderful week!

 

Twyla

Therefore with lovingkindness

I have drawn you.'
