nan's irish fisherman afghan

this is a huge to make in one piece deep purple irish fisherman afghan.


i had to put in a few more patterns than i typically do but they blended right in.

the problem




comes when you go to photograph it.

can't quite get the details of the stitches or the color just what i do see.

outside is not much better. i could run it through the scanner to get the exact color, but it's such a huge afghan to do that .



although nan is blind she wanted a deep purple IF afghan to fit on top of her bed. she's not even 5 foot tall but so this will cover her a few times over.

used moss stitch, trinity, interlocking diamonds, cables and honeycombs.


was over 70" long and at least 80" wide

projects

kitchen towel that i need to put a top onto so you can put it over a handle/doorknob.

sunflower child hat

completed projects

got some monkey material to make c a cushion for her fireplace. it has polka dots all over it.


had enough so i made vinnie a pillow for his bed and also sending along some for his friend GEO


and while at joann's last night dad found some foam stickers so some of them will be included in this package of goodies.

completed orders
