Navy Seal

[clearwaters]

This is a first for me. I used to do a lot of knitted graph work. I've never worked a graph in crochet before. When I saw this graph, I just knew it would be the perfect Father's Day gift for DH. I left myself plenty of time, so I wouldn't feel pressured. This is the result.

 

click it!

Impressive! I bet your DH will love it.

What book did you get that pattern from? My father would love that afghan.

[smyz64]

Yes, where did you find that? I have a retired navy man that would be perfect for.

[clearwaters]

I'll have to do some checking around. I followed a link, from a link, from a link. Well you get the idea. There's no addy on my printed page. It just says Epson Photo Center - Visit Albums.

 

When I came across it, I printed it out right away - afraid I wouldn't find it again. Maybe google can help you.

That is really great. You Dh will love it. I know my Dad would of (was retired Navy also).

Great job.

[Stitchinpick]

Wayyyyyy impressive! I am a Navy brat myself...he will LOVE it!

[Amy]

Oh, now I really need to teach my sister to crochet. Her dh is an ex-Navy Seal!

Isn't there a place you can "graph" out anything? I was on the navy homepage, and was going to find out what ship mine was on, and see about making that insignia, too.

Here is a place that will make a graph from a picture.

There are 3 sizes of graph you can make on this place.

Wow. Amazing work.

[smyz64]

Cool, Thanks, TampaDoll. I found a website that I can download logos for the seal, and then individual insignia patches for the ships!

I have a list of the ships he was on and the years, I am thinking about putting the navy seal in the center, and then do the ships around it, like a motif afghan!

[lizc]

that is so cool! i would love to do something like that for my dh, he's retired air force.

[yarncat]

Wonderful afghan!

[Yelutci]

Wow that's a work of art & math!

[SDmom]

That is awesome!

[clearwaters]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate all the kind comments.

[simonssez]

Beautiful! Great work! (and hats off to your DH as well. Mine is a navyman too...on patrol as we speak)

Just got my copy of Crochet World June 2006 this morning in the mail.

Right on the front cover is a picture of an afghan that has the insignia's for the 5 branches of the armed forces. Navy, Coast Guard, Army, Marines and Air Force. They have each in its own panel with Support our Troops in the other panels. Anyway, inside are graphs for each insignia.

This is a good place to get the graph for those who want it. I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

Hope this helps.

Now I have to get out and get that one. I think I let the script expire. Thanks!

Sorry for the chnage of subject but I've read these boards for months and my curiosity has finally gotten the better of me. What does "DH" stand for?
