Let me state emphatically that this is not my work. I saw it on Facebook and sent a screenshot to my profile, tagging my niece. She says she would like to try it. Personally, although I crochet, I cannot imagine making this lovely blanket or afghan. It looks very heavy and warm too. Corny old joke: "Why did TSA take away the old lady's yarn and knitting needles?" "They were afraid she would knit an afghan" pah dump dump

Ha ha! That afghan is certainly a challenge. I never got beyond a granny square. Have a good week.

Granny square is pretty much my speed as well.

@GardenGerty My SIL makes all kinds of stuffed animals and characters. She's really good.

That would take a lot of time.

It sure would. Plus a non linear brain. I wonder if the octopi are appliqued on.

@wolfgirl569 That was kind of what I was thinking.

I think it would be hard.

It's a beautiful afghan. I admire people who can crochet like that. There's a group of crocheters that meet at the ADRC every Monday. My friend is part of the group. I've seen what some of them can do too.

I like the colors being muted. I cannot imagine the skills to make this.

@GardenGerty I can't imagine either. I am sure a lot of time and effort went into that.

This is a very creative pattern for blanket. My mom is good at crochet but most of the time I won't ask her to crochet something for me and she can crochet whatever she likes. I don't want to give her pressure

First time I hear this joke, good one. I like octopus, they're so mesmerizing when alive and delicious when served on a plate. So yes, I can't help but be stunned by this work! It's quite 3D as well, fabulous!

I didn't realise that was a rug, It's not something I'd really want on my bed.

Not sure if it is a rug. I would like to see it as a wall hanging.
