This is the second graph pattern I’ve attempted, and I do love the way it turned out. I created the graph for this blanket using an graph-making program. I’m really beginning to enjoy making graph blankets, although they are quite time consuming and can be a bit intimidating! Maybe next time I’ll try one with […]

C2C Afghan 2017
Twin size afghan made for the spare bedroom of our apartment. I just love the colors! The yarn used is Caron® Cakes™ and the color is called “Faerie Cake”. Beautiful soft teals/greens/creams. In the border I also used solid white Lion Brand® Pound of Love™, followed by more of the Faerie Cake color. I do […]
Raspberry & Sage King Afghan 2016
This afghan took me awhile. I kept setting it aside to work on other projects. It is a king-sized bedspread, worked in double crochet C2C (Corner-to-corner). The colors were rapsberry, frosty green/sage, and white. It worked it as such: With the leftover yarn, I also made a matching throw pillow, but did the row repeats […]
Golden Garden Afghan September 2015

Rainbow Scrap Afghan 2007
This is a Queen-size blanket made in 2007 for my oldest son. The name of the pattern was ‘Colors, Colors, Colors’ by Hazel Osborne. I can no longer find that particular pattern, but there is a very similar pattern out there called Apache Tears. Every other row was solid white, while the colors were completely […]
Ripple Romance Afghan 2005
This blanket was made in 2005 (as you can see in the image) for a raffle to benefit local Adopt-A-Family for Christmas that year. I was very happy how it turned out. Both the top and bottom sections were done in a charcoal color, and the main area was a creamy white. The pattern is […]
