Anyway, I have been meaning to marry a simple knitting pattern with some inexpensive yet beautiful yarn: perfect TV knitting. I found the perfect match! The pattern is the "reversible afghan" pattern. You can find it at: http://www.knitpurlhunter.com/ It is a very quick knit (2 hours a day for 2 weeks = completed afghan!). This is the pattern, now how about the yarn? The yarn I chose was Crystal Palace Kaya in color 105. It is a bit expensive when knitting an afghan (20 balls), however, at http://www.littleknits.com/ it was marked down and I believe I only paid $44.00 for 20 balls! My mother-in-law is always cold so now I have a trifecta: perfect pattern, perfect yarn, perfect recipient. Here is how it turned out!
The finished dimensions are 3 feet by 5 feet. Perfect for her to snuggle under! And look.....
it really is completely reversible! I hope that every time she snuggles under it she remembers that her Ohio family loves her!

This is beautiful. I love to crochet and 'watch' TV too. Very relaxing. I would love it if you would share this at our Link It Up Thursday party. http://thesepeastastefunny.blogspot.com/2012/01/link-it-up-thursday-4.html#more
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! One day I would love to learn how to knit. Thank so much for sharing with us at Link It Up Thursday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty afghan! Love the slightly exaggerated cable and the soft color. I always wanted to learn to knit, but now that I have more time to do it, I don't have the dexterity due to arthritis. Go figure!
