White as Snow

Awwww.... That is so nice! I WISH I could follow a pattern, but I can't! I can't concentrate.. I can't focus... All I can do is crochet to relieve stress and I just use the regular double crochet in a straight line and I don't even know if I do that right, but I just go go go and it turns out nice enough, but there's nothing fancy to it, although I do use multi colored yarn to make it look better than plain...and it's not even straight on the ends. Lol! But it sure is nice to cover up with! Check out the pic to see what I mean. Look how it ends at all different lengths. I'm having deja vu at this moment. I think I might have posted this very thing in a discussion before.

That's a really pretty pattern. It would also make an interesting shawl or stole. I always look at the free patterns inside the yarn bands and have followed some. I also get lots of free patterns from the internet

I have, in the past. Right now I do not seem to pay attention long enough to do anything on that line. My sister will tell people that one of the best gifts I ever gave her was a collection of free pattern sheets from stores that I visited. I am really not that cheap, I just always picked up two, instead of one, so I could share. She said it meant that I thought of her often.

Your blanket is very pretty. I have taken the free patterns too and some of them are very cool....I haven't crocheted in a long time but used to all the time. After looking at your blankets I might have to give it another whirl!

I see that you are a afghan maker and that is really nice. How often do you make them and how long does it take you? They white was really pretty and i know that you have to be careful not go get it dirty. I have tried that once and complete a throw over but that was all that I have done. I didn't keep on going. But you have very nice work and keep up the good job. Have a good one.

LOL. Are there any other kind? No seriously I have many patterns that were my mother's and my grandmothers, but the ones that I usually end up using are the ones on the skein of yarn. That really turned out beautifully. I thing it will be great over a colored sheet.

Very pretty. you do good work. I love afghans. I crochet a little (a ver little) but I can't do any fancy stuff and I can't knit at all.

I found a free pattern when I was shopping for yarn. It was for a girl's vest. The color of the yarn and pattern was perfect for a baby blanket. Although it started as a vest, the blanket was beautiful!

I wanted to tell you that myLot has the wrong picture with this discussion. Do you know someone named Momalisa, or something like that? You did say your afghan was white, correct? I found a fuschia striped one. May go back and look again.

That is beautiful. My grandmother used to crochet a lot. When I was younger I asked for a white bedspread. It took her so so long to make as she had arthritis but it was absolutely georgeous when she was done. I was young and didn't realize what a chore it was for her to do it. It is something I'll cherish forever. I know how to crochet...I made an indian aphgan for my highschool project...it was simple but I have no idea how to follow a pattern or do anything but that. Its kind of a lost art. I bet you could sell that stuff...do you? if not you should.

I know nothing when it comes to making afghans, but I think that you did a great job on this one too. I think it would look really good like you said with a solid color laying underneath it.

Snow is something I've never seen but I imagine it must be beautifull. As a young boy I read the story of Hannibal crossing the Alps and pictured myself crossing over there with sheepskins and sword and all that. I had an uncle who lived in Canada and my aunt once wrote me saying it was gorgeous over there in winter. In Trinidad all the Christmas cards in December had snow in them until some people complained we were importing our Christmas. I hope I get to see snow one day. Until then I'll still be charmed by the pictures.

Very nice! I think it'd look terrific over a marroon or teal sheet. Of course, I'm partial to those colors. I love the idea of using a glittery yarn and purposing it for a christening or some sort of holiday-ish function. I'm not a crocheter, but I have used the knit patterns on the skeins before. Some of them come out really well and I love to put my own twist on them.
