Afghans are so much fun to make. You get to pick out the pattern, decide on the yarn colors... However, I've made a few too many for myself. Although I would really like to make us another one. I think we might have enough, I don't know, maybe we could use one more? :)
These two afghans I made were for gifts, and both were a lot of fun to make.
The first one was a new shape for me, called the "Around the Rosie" baby blanket. I was inspired by this post from my favorite crochet blogger, maybematilda.com. Instead of making it in a baby blanket size, I upped the hook size and used worsted weight yarn, which made it a much bigger afghan. I made this one for my mom for Christmas.
The second afghan was called "Sunny Spread", which is one of my favorite patterns, and which I've also used a couple more times since this blanket. It was also featured on my favorite crochet blog on this post.
I made this one for my sister-in-law. It was a fun color to work with. She requested a bright colored afghan, so bright is what I picked!! I chose to use a shell border, however, instead of what the pattern called for.
Wow, look how little Audrey is! This was from earlier this year.
Okay, now, who else wants an afghan!!
