It looks like a nice one but the pics are always so bad a C&C if you want a good 'looksee'

Yeah, I saw that yesterday... and immediately thought "oh it's so nice they added one, everybody is constantly asking for something like that".

 

They also added a pretty hairpin lace shawl and a few other misc things, such as this.

That is so pretty !!! Thanks for sharing !!!

YAY! I've been looking for something like this (I know I know one more project to get started on:blush). My husband's airman is getting married in August and this would be PERFECT!

It is beautiful, but holy moly the pieces...a lot of work!!

[yarn_monkey]

I have been waiting and waiting and waiting!!! :cheerI'm so excited, I'm downloading it right now! Now I just need to look it over and figure out how to make it a tiny bit bigger... Any suggestions?

[kestrel5287]

That's beautiful! yarn_monkey, if you only want it a tiny bit bigger, you could just add a nice border around it.

So I just showed this afghan to DH, telling him I've been wanting it for SOOOO long. He asked if this was one I will make for our bed and I said yes. "As long as you don't use an itchy yarn," he said (he's very familiar with RH super saver lol) and I said "no, I'll probably use Simply Soft" (my world runs on what's cheaper and feels the best lol) and he looked at me very proud and said "I know who makes that!! Caron!!"

 

I'm so proud!!!

I shared your comment with Hubby and he just blushed and shook his head.

 

You are SO right though!!! He's learning!

[MithraGoddess]

Oh that blanket is pretty I've created a folder of various wedding crochet pieces and thats something i may consider adding in

 

My beau is wonderful, he always gives me suggestions on what to make or even what to make it with... he goes down the yarn isle with me and helps me pick things out and gives me suggestions on colors. He's fantastic

 

he actually keeps me in line! I'd buy out Michael's and Wal-Mart's yarn isle if it wasn't for him hehe!

 

Back on track though, anyone else have any other wedding blankets/afghans/tablerunners to share? I need to start deciding which one to make.. and soon! hehe *blush*

Any interst in a Double wedding ring CAL?

[mva5493]

That is a nice pattern. I have wanted a wedding ring quilt for a long time. But what stopped me is that most of them are not in colors or fabric I would choose. With this pattern I could do one in whatever colors I like. Thanks Darski for posting this!!

[Martee]

Thank you so much for posting. I alos love that design, but I couldn't quilt if my life depended on it. It'd probably take me a year to make that but at least the individual pieces are small!

[sandra2469]

I've always wanted a quilt like that! I could probably pull this off if I made a few pieces at a time...I see a new WIP in my future (but not until I have time to shop for the yarn!)...

[MithraGoddess]

Oh those links were very helpful Debbi, thank you I've got some ideas now... Now I just need to get an idea of wedding colors and we'll be set! haha..

I looked at t he larger photo on the PDF and the afghan seems a little wonky. The motifs are all "bubbly".

 

Does anyone else think this ghan needs serious blocking?

[MithraGoddess]

Well you could also look at the type of yarn being used and the tension.. if it seems a little bubbly try tightening up the stitches?

[tahlara]

I really like the color choices and the design itself. I save the pdf file. Thanks for sharing it!

It just makes you mist over, doesn't it? My boss wants a quilt made out of Crown whiskey bags (those blue drawstring bags that the liquor bottles come in) and he has been saving every Crown bag from the bottles that get delivered to the bar and the nightclub here for the last few months. He still needs quite a few more, but he has asked me to design the quilt for him and earlier tonight my husband said (are you sitting down?) "Couldn't you open up the bags so that they are flat and use an Edgery Doo to crochet around the edges? Then you could put them together like an afghan." MY HUSBAND said "Edgery Doo"!!!! I couldn't breathe for a couple of moments and then I hugged him and said "I can't believe you thought of that! I'm so proud of you!" and he smiled and said, "See? I KNOW you think I don't listen to what you say, but I DO!" I felt like a mother whose child just learned how to read!

[Ladycrochat]

Darski, that pattern is lovely! Thanks for sharing it with us!:hugElle, your husband sounds like a keeper! Imagine figuring out that by useing your Edgery Doo you can finish your project easier and faster! MithraGoddess, yours sounds great too! My husband just goes shopping in another store when he knows that I am going yarn shopping!
