A couple of my ghans!

[Qmare]

Well, I guess it's high time I posted a couple of pics of some of my ghans. These aren't the greatest pics but here you go!

 

The first one is a ghan I made for my son. In reality, it is navy blue and an earthy ombre done in double crocht, alternating bpdc and fpdc. It covers a twin size bed

 

The other one is in lots of colors, done in afghan stitch little diagonal squares. I made it many years ago... I'd have to strain my brain to remember how I did it. It's got a lot of wear and is holding up really well. It is very heavy and warm and is one of my faves.

They are beautiful!!! All of them!

What kind of stitch is that bottom one with the diamond pattern?

[jchllm]

Very nice. I especially like the one on the bottom. Very cool

Beautiful afghans.

[Natasha]

They're beautiful, but I'm really drawn to the one on the bottom...it reminds me of my grandmother's quilt.

[mamaoso]

Very pretty afghans...I like the bottom one, too.

[Kiki]

They are all so beautiful!

[crochetingfool]

Very very pretty. I have that diamond pattern but have never tried to crochet it. Is it hard to do? Isn't it the one that is done with the afghan stitch?

 

thanks

Beautiful! You are such a talented lady!

[Qmare]

Thank you everyone!

 

Yes, Linda... it's done with the afghan stitch and I cannot remember how to do it. If you have the pattern, can you post a link or share the source so we know where to get it? I was shown how to do it by a woman I used to work with, many years ago. It is a beautiful ghan - the colors are so much nicer than they appear here...

Beautiful afghans!

[Kimberly]

Great work on all of them Mare!

[Qmare]

Thank you all! The pics really are aweful... the colors look terrible! The second one is in Caron SS... and would be bigger but I ran out of yarn and some of the colors could never be found. Of course, this was back before I discovered Ebay and before I realized I could have huge amounts of stash. There was a time that I could barely afford one skein at a time!

I'm making one like the bottom one. I'm alternating black with red, green, blue and purple. I am aiming for it to look like an amish quilt. You can purchase the pattern here:

Once you get the hang of it, it is very easy.

Is this one done using the afghan stitch? Your's sounds like it will be very pretty. The pattern - is it the one pictured on the cover? If so, looks like it is done in rows rather than around and around the rectangle. Mine was done six stitches across and six rows high. I remember it being really easy and am sure, if I sat down with a hook and some yarn could figure it out...

 

You'll have to show us yours when you get some progress on it...

Mine is done in rows with the afghan stitch. You always start on the same side and work across.

Wonderful afghan!

Very pretty. I also like the bottome one best. Looks a little tedious to work on though. HeeHee

I made it quite a few years ago. It did take a long time - mostly because I would put it down to do other things quite often. It is very heavy because of the dense stitch. I would like to do another one one of these days!

[CrazieJillie84]

That bottom one is awesome!

 

How do you do it?

[mimicat]

Those are all beautifully done, and I like the colors!

[Hummywinger]

Very Nice:yay

I really like the stitch on that bottom picture.

Hey lady I am in Calif also. Great state... native of Calif here. Born and raised!!

Love your moto:manyheart

Lol ... just one more row... that is what I do at night when crocheting before I go to bed. And it leads to just one more and just one more lol.

As far as how I did it... I'll try to devote some brain cells to that and let you all know. I really do love that ghan. A girl I used to work with made it up.

[sorockin]
