Very Warm and soft afghan

[Tampa Doll]

I went looking for an easy pattern to make a nice afghan for my SIL. I have been knitting:knit since I was about 9 or 10, so easy was not a priority. I had just pruchased the lighted knitting needles that Clover had on sale, so I wanted to use them, but the patttern I ended up using, needed a bigger size knitting needle.

 

Anyway, this is the pattern I ended up using it is called the zigzag Afghan. It is very easy to knit, it uses size 15 needles and I used Homespun yarn to make it soft and warm. The colors I used were Heather, Saffron and Earth and the light shade is Cream.

 

I was not sure if I should put this in Experience or beginner:think. See I am an experienced knitter, but the pattern is easy enogh for a beginner.

 

Anyway, here it is, on the floor and on a Queen size bed.

Right now DH has this one wrapped around him, and I may not be able to get it back, as he says it is very, very warm.

Very pretty! The color combo is lovely!

 

You could put it in both folders because not everyone is in both groups...but we all love to look Completed projects are my favorite things to look at on the net!

That is very pretty. I like both the design and the colors.

Ooh, very pretty. I'd never have the patience to put it all together though.

love it !!

Never thought of doing an afghan in knitting I just started a few months ago, and the largest thing I have attempted is a shawl.

Was there very much seaming? or how was it put together.

sorry says I don't have access to the pattern unless I sign up.
