Sunflower Lapghan

The third afghan I made was a variation on Deb's Crafts pattern "Sunflower Lapghan".  I changed Molly's afghan up a bit, using [pretty much] only her favorite colors.  


Red Heart Super Saver:
Pale Yellow
Gold
Brown


Instead of adding in green leaves, I made the sunflower and the rest of the square is pale yellow, I finished the blanket with a simple gold cluster stitch going around the entire blanket.  I think it was a very simple and cute pattern!

Michi's Afghan

This is probably one of the most gorgeous patterns I've seen, I made it for my uncle, I think he'll love it.  (The pattern was made to look like hundreds and hundres of fans stacked on each other)

I made it in Caron's Simply Soft (Black), it's incredibly striking.  Definitely works up beautifully, I used 6 skeins, you could do more if you wanted it bigger.  So it'll be on its way to New Jersey in a few days.

Gretna Gauntlets

Okay, okay...  It sounds scary, but they work up pretty.  I for one am a huge fan of fingerless gloves, you can wear them and still crochet with out affecting dexterity! (Sounds like a sales pitch doesn't it?)  The pattern is originally for wristbands, but you can just make them longer, sew the two outsides together and turn them into gloves.  Since I have T-Rex arms, I decided to make them only 6 inches long, but I imagine they'd look very pretty even longer. 

It's an easy pattern and only took me about 45 minutes to make.  (Side note, I think these would turn out gorgeous with a dainty, lightweight yarn)  Here's the link!
