See this Afghan ...

I made this afghan by somewhat copying one that a friend had years ago. It is 41x56", just the right size to toss on a couch and curl up under. I could probably weave some colored ribbon or yarn through it to "fancy" it up a little. Talk to me if you'd like one by this pattern, and we can work out a deal! (P.S. You can now see it at Baritone's Grill on Carson Road in the Center Point area of Birmingham. That's a new little karaoke place with good burgers and such. Jason, the owner, has a couch and table lamps in a corner by the stage and Wurlitzer jukebox. With the afghan on the couch, it's just the place for a couple to snuggle while Elvis croons "Love Me Tender"!)

Afghans

Here are 2 afghans I crocheted. I made up the one that's got a lot of yellow in it, combining granny squares and zigzags. I gave it to friends in thanks for some help they gave me. The fan pattern is one I made several years ago from a kit (probably from Annie's Attic - they have a similar one now called a "scrap fan afghan).
I s
old it for $100 at a consignment shop.

Jacob's Ladder



This "throw" is called "Jacob's Ladder". I made it for the gentleman who usually takes me to worship. (The grape design tile I recently posted was for the same family.) The pattern can be found on line, though as usual, I didn't quite follow the pattern! I don't remember what size hook I used, but the yarn is plain ol' worsted weight. The brand is "I Love This Yarn", which is Hobby Lobby's store brand.

Knitted Things


Here are a few things I've knitted - I've given these to friends. The first picture is of 2 "prayer" or "friend- ship" shawls. I made each of them with 2 skeins of Lion "Home- spun" yarn, and think I used size 15 needles. They were about 15x60" or so. The other is an afghan, using the "feather and fan" pattern. I don't remember what yarn I used for that, nor what size needles. I'll be happy to make more of the shawls to sell!
