Worktable Wednesday - Multi-colored Crocheted Afghan
It's the perfect size to pull around my shoulders or lay across my lap while watching one of my guilty television pleasures like The Deadliest Catch. It's clear to anybody that sees me under it that I'm someone that prefers to experience rough seas vicariously. Can you imagine Sig at the helm of the Northwestern draping this colorful afghan around his shoulders? Maybe that's just what he needs to appear a little more warm and cuddly.
I used Cascade Elite Yarns Wool Bam Boo which is on sale right now on Webs. It is DK weight so if you want a larger afghan, use worsted weight or add more honeycombs. You may even have enough of a stash to just find enough there. The pattern is the cover pattern for Crochet with Color by Kazuko Ryokai.
I think I mentioned last week about how honest my husband is in his opinions. He doesn't sugarcoat or do white lies. I've learned to listen and not just be hurt if it's something I might initially perceive as negative. I'll look at whatever I've created again, see if he has a point, and then make up my own mind. In other words, his critique is a worthwhile one.
