Kate and Jeremiah

45" x 68"

This is the afghan I made as a wedding gift for my daughter using 15 skeins of the then brand new Vanna's Choice yarn in beige. Pattern is Samantha's Box Stitch Afghan available on the Patterns page. I chained 160 with a J hook.

 

Kate

This is the shawl I made for my daughter to wear at her wedding. The pattern was at Michael's web site and is Patons Silverlash Beautiful Crochet Shawl
It's a very simple pattern, quick to work up. Basically it's just (dc, ch 1, sk 1), a filet pattern with an even chain. As always, I made changes. I used a bit longer foundation and put a picot border which really dresses it up IMHO. I used Pernat Baby Coordinates which gave it a nice sheen and matched the dress color.

 

Size: 44" x 46"

Pattern is Jeff's Sampler Lapghan. Yarn used was Red Heart Super Saver, various colors. Border is one round dc in hunter green.

 

 

Heather and Will

54 1/2" x 76"

This afghan was made with Wool Ease ranch red, grey heather, and navy. I used a shell pattern which I will be writing up. It's similar to the Christmas strip afghan in the holiday section but larger. I've made several of these in various sizes. 3 red strips and 3 grey strips, all trimmed in the navy.
 

Chip & Kayla

52" x 68"

This afghan was made with 12" granny squares of claret and buff which were then edged in med thyme (dark sage would also work with these colors) and joined in 4 strips of 5 squares each.
 

 

Momghan

41" x 57"

This is the comfortghan given to my mom from the charity group Heartmade Blessings. I collected and assembled the 12" squares from friends and members of HMB, and added borders to everything.


Lane's afghan

45" x 67"

This afghan uses soft navy and gold Red Heart Super Saver yarn. It is made with three strips, two small ones and one large center strip. The border is a special design with a color change every stitch. It's a little tricky, but once you catch the pattern it's not difficult. Uses 24 ozs each color. J hook. Pattern is the Blue and Gold V-Stitch Afghan.

 

 

Becky's afghan

45" x 65"

This double strand was made from a baby afghan pattern, specifically Keepsake Coverup in Leisure Arts book Quick and Cozy Afghans. It's a great pattern that works up quickly. I used worsted weight yarn and double strands. Approx. 42 ozs. Bernat Berella 4 in True Country Blue.

 

Randi's afghan

46" x 68"

Randi's afghan was made with hunter green and royal Red Heart worsted weight yarn using the pattern  Samantha's Box Stitch Afghan. H hook. It took about 24 ozs each color.

This is just a small part of a king size afghan made for my big sis, Joyce, and her husband, Sid. The pattern is Reversible Afghan from  Crochet World October 1991.
 

Granny (my Mom)

50" x 63"

This Tunisian crochet afghan was made for my Mom. So many have asked--the pattern Beguiling Tradition can be found in the book "Afghans-Traditional and Modern" by Bonita Bray, c1977. Check your local library. I used 4 ply worsted weight yarn in ecru for the background. The pattern called for an H hook. I used a J.

This camouflage afghans was made with Ben's Camouflage Ripple Afghan pattern. It uses approx 54 ozs camouflage yarn.
