Cranberry Afghan for my Grandmother

[orangetulipgarden]

I made this for my grandmother. She was so happy to get it. She used to crochet back in Poland when she was young, so she loves getting homemade crocheted items. I used Lion Wool Ease Thick & Quick in Cranberry (a little over 9 balls) and a P hook. The pattern is #29 in the 101 Stitches for Afghans book. It was fun to make and relatively quick. The finished size is 50 in. x 40 in. The bottom two pics show the color pretty closely to its actual color. (It isn't as blazing red as the first picture shows.)
