These Are Some Of The New Afghans That I Purchased

  I gave these to people who are sick and lonely.   They were in a sealed container for months.   I Purchased Newly Made Afghan Blankets At A Reasonable Cost.

I Finished This Afghan Tonight

Image
 I Finished This Afghan Tonight Intermediate Level This one took longer to make than my prior projects. I had a migraine today, it took up my whole day until tonight. In spite of it, I was able to get up and finish my afghan. I'm very happy with how it looks.  It's pretty big. I can go on to my next project now.  Christmas will soon be here. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this one yet. I'll let you know what I decide.    

These Two Afghans Were Donated To Us

Susan's Phone Pics April 2020 They have been laundered and sanitized.  They are both in new condition. We were told they were never used, but they were stored for a long period of time. They also donated a quality flannel blanket.   I don't know what their names were, but Thank you.

White Scattered Hearts Appliques Sewn On

If you are making the loop fringe don't forget to  leave at least  4-5 inch stings to weave in  so that your fringe does not unravel.  Susan's Phone Photos April 2020 Now I Just Have To Sew The Buttons On

Working On A Valentine Heart Afghan -

Image
The Heart Applique I looked and looked for just the right crochet heart and could not find a pattern I was happy with for this project.  I decided to make my own pattern. So I'm going to give it a whirl here and try to explain to you how to make it. Pink yarn #4 weight worsted yarn.  Use two threads at a time.  I used both side ends of one skein.  The side thread and the thread that comes out of the end.  My crochet needle is size L MR- Magic Ring SS - Slip Stitch SC - Single Crochet Ch - Chain SLST - Slip Stitch Start with a Magic Ring. Single crochet 10 around the MR  SS closed in the beginning ( top two threads) Chain 3 SC at the bottom of the Ch 3 at the two open threads. (Ch 1 then Sc under the 4 thread hole.) Do this three more times but in the  3rd one chain not 1 time but 2 chs Sc again in same place.  This is making the point at the bottom of the heart. To clarify again what should be in  the point.  1sc ch 2 1s
