Two more "hug"ghans

[faithpa76]

Two more "hug"ghans (comfortghans, the group I'm making them for is calling them hug-ghans) - I skipped the squares with these two (too time consuming) and did big granny scrap-ghans with the yarn all the ladies sent me. The one on the left is simply soft and I LOVE it (I have got to make myself one one of these days!) and the one on the right is all mainstays and RH.

 

 

The colors don't show up as well as I'd like - why is it that projects never look as good in pictures as they do in person? I used my dad's camera, which was unfamiliar (mine died - grrrr) so maybe that had something to do with it.

Both look nice and cheerful!

I love them both too! I really like the Simply soft one. I think I may use that for my sisters wedding gift!

I love the "hug"ghans, but most of all...I love the worthy cause. Great crocheting... It's a great way to use up scraps. I love those large grannies.

Faith, they look wonderful. I love a big scrappy gahn!

They turned out wonderful I think. they look so warm and cozy. I want to make one. My DH said I needed to take a break though. I want to but after seeing your blanket I don't know ! What he doesn't know won't hurt right LOL:devil

Those are both great, Faith! I love the name, too, 'Hug ghans'. Is that the rectangle grannyghan pattern? I have one of those I still haven't finished yet.

 

My camera does the same thing. The colors don't turn out right, yellow looks like bright yellow when it's buttercup...

 

Thanks for sharing those!

It's "a" rectangle granny ghan - I've looked at several patterns for them, tried one (made one for my youngest son a year ago, in fact) but I didn't like the way they were laying/turning out, so I changed it to adapt to my preferences, lol.

 

I wish the colors were truer - it was a really bright day and the camera unfamiliar and I just couldn't get it quite right. It isn't terrible but somehow the colors always end up seeming like "more" than they are. The subtleties are lost - and even in those "scrap" type projects, there are occasionally subtleties, lol!

Hmmm. And my first impression was...wow those colors are beautiful.

 

Which they are.

 

Good work.

[Tampa Doll]

They are beautiful Faith. I really like the one on the right. I like bold rich colors.

Way to go Faith, The "Hug Ghans" are beautiful!

[jchllm]

You inspired me to make my own. I started it today! Great colors!

Just LOVE them Faith! Way to go. I like your blog too and also your recipes. Tried the to die for roast and my husband said it was as good as one of his favorite restaurants.

Your afghans are just beautiful. I love afghans made from scrap yarn they have such character. I'm working a scrap afghan myself; I hope it turns out as beautiful as yours.

[theworm]

I love them!!!

 

I'm working on my very first granny square afghan now, but then want to make some smaller ones for the kids at the cancer center. I like the idea of one big rectangular square like you've done here! And I can make matching caps!

Hope mine come out almost as pretty as yours!

[momofgmd]

Wonderful "hug"ghans! I'm sure whoever gets them will be very pleased.

[yarncat]

So colorful,Faith!I them!!

[Rosemary]

I love the colors of both of your hug ghans. Great job for a great cause.

[SmileGirl]

Both of them are very pretty, I also like the colors.

[Katandia]

I love traditional grannies with a variety of colors like that!
