Afghans! Blankets! Afghans! Blankets!




Here is a pic of one of the blankets I've made.... I really like this yarn for afghan/blankets because it's soft and wash/dry friendly being that it's 98% Acrylic 2% Polyester

I use Lionbrand Homespun, this blanket is color: Barley. The pattern is a broken rib, it gives it a wavy effect. I've made 11 of these so far in the last 5 years. Yep, almost everyone has there own special blanket.
  1. Made one for myself - color - Country k2, p2 ribbing
  2. Mom - color - Antique & Sierra - broken rib with cables
  3. Grandma - color - Colonial & Williamsburg mixed together - broken rib
  4. Niece #1 - color - Colonial & Williamsburg mixed together - broken rib
  5. Cousin #1 - color - Country - broken rib
  6. Dad - color - Country - broken rib with cables
  7. Cousin #2 - color - Baroque - broken rib
  8. Nephew - color - Edwardian & Metropolis - in a different pattern can't remember
  9. Sister #2 - Gothic & Seaspray - broken rib w/celtic runes spell her name
  10. Niece #2 - color - Hepplewhite, Fushia, Florida Keys green - moss stitch
  11. Significant other - color - Barley - broken rib
Phew! I still have 2 more to do before christmas of this year - step dad and sister #1. At least they knit up quick - use two strands at a time on size 15us needles.
