Oh Maggie! That is just beautiful! Wonderful afghan!

I was just browsing around the yarn sites, killing time at work, and I ran across this from the J&P Coats site. They were referring to Super Saver, but maybe it applies to the colors here too?

They said that recently 5 acrylic fiber suppliers have gone bankrupt, and it's affecting the consistancy of their colors (as well as those of other companies). They've started adding codes to some of the very light colors to ensure everything matches.

 

I had no idea!

Very pretty! I love how the stitches and edging looks. Great work.

Maggie, it makes me so mad that they continue to advertise "no dye lot" when there obviously ARE dye lots that need to be considered when buying their yarn!!

 

Your afghan turned out BEAUTIFUL!! I love your work, and the neutral color is also great! :cheer

Very nice, is it a Terry Kimbrough design? If I were you, I'd email the yarn manufacturer and tell them about your non-matching dye lot problem. It couldn't hurt. You might just get some free yarn, too.

 

That's a good idea. I think I will try that.

 

I checked the book and this design is by Ann Kirtley. It's in one of those little $2 pamphlets you get at Wal-Mart.

 

Thanks for all the nice comments!

What does it mean when it says working in front of dc just made, dc in skipped dc? The rest of this I understand but this is difficult to understand. This is so beautiful I really would like to make one. Thank you

I love the combination of the relatively simple body and ornate edging--it looks quite elegant.

[Startigerlily]

It's gorgeous!

[onfire4Jesus]

Gorgeous! The border is awesome. Maybe when you wash it the color difference will fade? You did a beautiful job ... enjoy it!

[happy stitcher]

Wow!

It's beautiful!

It's a great size, too!

[threadlover]

A very beautiful one. I've had the yarn thing happen also. Didn't see it until it was done.

Wow! You do have a showpiece, a family heirloom. Beautiful work!

 

So sorry for the one skein of yarn being different. Usually you can't tell when comparing full skeins. The difference only shows up when it's crocheted into the piece.

[Gardener]

That is a really beautiful afghan.

[DesertCrocheter]

Wow, how gorgeous! I'm going to have to look for that pattern book. patty
