Hey everyone! Its Friday so here is my fiber arts project of the week! I have been making these afghans all summer and I love them! And I love making them. I have posted photos of 4 out of five of them on FB and have had many a request for the pattern. So here it is. I took a few patterns and combined the recipes to make the following, to my liking. I have to tell you though I'm not a pattern writer so I hope you can understand what I have done. I wrote it exactly like I would knit it. If your not clear on something, don't hesitate to write and ask me to clarify and Ill do my best. Have fun and enjoy. Oh Id love to see your afghan when completed! These are made all from my handspun hand dyed yarns, alpaca and Babydoll Southdown. One is my grandsons, one is mine, one is for sale and one was an order as a gift. I also did one not pictured for my new granson expected in November. They are great for anyone! This can be worn folded in half as a shawl or fold 1/4 of it over as a collar for a shawl! Its a two in one project! It also makes a beautiful nursing blanket.
As always please share by blog info with your friends and on Facebook. And sign on as a follower and leave an email address if you'd like so as not to miss FAF ideas! All followers are eligible for my free give a ways! Always fun....

Thank you so much for sharing this pattern Pam! I think this will be my winter project, I can imagine this over my knees already :) and I love the angles. Now I just need to come to terms with the idea of using dp needles XD But its too pretty not to make just cos of an irrational fear of pointy objects right!
