SouthWest Indian Afghan

[chrissyf]

I have thais pattern and have not ever tried it. The task always seems so overwhelming and I can never seem to find all the colors I need at the store when I go. Those two things combined and I have not done it. Great Job:clap

Wow!!! That's the best word I could come up with Awesome job on your afghans.

The pattern is an out of print pattern by Annie's Attic. It's from the Annie's Crochet Quilt Afghan Club and the front of the leaflet just says Indian Afghan. Every once in a while you see the pattern on eBay, which is where I got my copy, but the bidding can get pretty high. I think I paid something like $27 just for this pattern by itself and I've seen the bidding on some go even higher than that. It has so many colors in it, it cost me almost $120.00 for the Red Heart yarn and took me 6 months to make but it's worth every penny and every minute spent on it. I might even enter it at the fair this year.

 

Thank you all for the wonderful compliments. The sense of accomplishment alone is a wonderful feeling but it feels even better when others acknowledge your hard work and no one can appreciate the effort that goes into one of these like you guys can.

:2rock Beautiful!!

My nose hit the monitor when I first saw this.

What an accomplishment for you!

Congrats:applause

I'd never let that out of my sight:lol

Amazing!!! I have this pattern as well but never have tried it. Heck it took me 20 years to try the Lace and Bobbles pattern...maybe I'll try this one some day.

I've never seen this crocheted by anyone before only the picture in the pattern. You did a fantastic job! I would never part with it either...

WOW! That is wonderful. I hope that someday I can make something like that!

[redbird51]

that is beautiful! i cannot imagine staying with a project that complicated. if i were you, i would make a wall hanging out of it like someone else posted. i also love the colors on the other afghan. those are my mom's favorite colors. you did some great work.

[LeslieG]

WOW, those are just gorgeous. I can see why your family is drooling over it.

[Hooked]

Beautiful! Great job.

[shelbyolivia]

Both are very beautiful! How could you part with it! Keep it for yourself, you deserve it.

Totally awesome and amazing !!! :dreaming

[Afghaniac]

It's spectacular, and I'd be surprised if it doesn't blow away every other entrant in the fair. If you don't use it as a wall hanging, I would at the very least not let anybody use it, because the afghans in my house that get used (most of them) get pilled pretty quickly.

[champygirl]

Very beautiful and amazing.

[Bocabeignet]

 

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.....go ahead...keep it and enjoy the fruits of your labor...

[Dare2BDifferent]

My jaw just hit the floor! That is a stunning afghan. I barely was able to stay motivated to finish a toddler bed sized granny square afghan, so I can't imagine the patience and motivation required to do that piece of art! I am truly in awe of it and you for making it.

[eebrs]

That is beautiful! Don't show my husband or I'll be making one too!

[Carol]

A work of art!

[Tinks]

Oh my! It's absolutely gorgeous!

[Twinnish]

That afghan is an amazing piece of work. Did you carry the yarn when you made it, or did you have to weave in all those ends? If you wove them in, I'm going to personally fly out and pin an award on your chest because you're a better woman than me!

 

Please do enter it in a state fair. It's definitely a blue ribbon piece!

[misssmaggie]

WOW!!! BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks for sharing!
