my latest 2 afghans

[travelingMarje]

hard to tell how long it took to make them - as i say- i always have two going at the same time. no longer than a month on each. I make all my blankets/afghans to send up to the Lakota American Indians in South Dakota. They live in horrid conditions and need them for warmth. So I try to help them out. I enjoy knitting and crocheting - love to crochet the most. Don't like to make anything more than once - so have to come up with different patterns all the time.
thanks for all the wonderful kind compliments offered. Keeps me interesting in making more. I also send up hats, mittens, sweaters - whatever they need.

All three of your afghans are out standing. I like to do the cross stitch too. I use it as accent on
some of my hats I make for cancer patient here in my town.
I really enjoyed you pic.

Thanks so much kind folks for the lovely words of encouragement.
Susan - in answer to your question - i have made almost 50 afghans since that one and i really have no idea what to do other than just follow the directions. hope it works out for you as it sure is beautiful when finished. i think i followed that one as directed - usually i veer off and add something of my own.

thanks all
love it and love the encouragement

Charlye - what state or country do you live in? I too loved to cross stitch but find now - i need too much concentration to sit and follow charts that intensely. love to incorporate my charts into knitting or crocheting tho.

Your blankets are lovely! The multi-colored one looks like a labor of love!

Both of your afghans are beautiful and so different from each other. The first one I might be able to tackle, but the second would be beyond me. You are so very talented to be able to do something like that. May I ask how we could help out by making things for the Lakota Indians? Would something other than afghans be appropriate? ~ Shirly
