My New Favorite Afghan!
I took a Lion Brand Pattern for the Lion Brand Wool-Ease/Vanna's Choice Pop Art Afghan and modified it a bit, after not liking the look of my stripes! I added some flowers from Lion's Crochet Motif library, and made a floral creation for my friend Jennifer.
Knowing I have issues with "finishing" projects - such as seaming and the like, I should have known that having to sew on zig-zags and circles would be a challenge. Once I gave up on those, I loved placing the center of the flowers down - Jen's 9 month old son will have a holiday with those!
I had a hard time finding Wool-Ease in Avocado, so I substituted Vanna's Choice for the background, and I think I made a good choice. It is warm, comfortable and so far has held up great.
I'd love to see more Tunisian patterns on the Lion Brand site!
