I have crocheted four afghans over the last two years. I made two using the same yarn. This is my favorite of the two. I finished this one in early 2014 and haven't done one since. I will be entering it in the woman's club arts and craft show on January 21.
This morning, I saw a lovely knitted afghan on FB and did an online search for the pattern. While doing so I ran across the crochet version of the same afghan. I downloaded and printed the crochet directions and photos and immediately went to the Joann website to order the yarn. Hopefully, I will finish it in time to enter it in next year's January show.
The pattern is called "Tree of Life." It has tempted me for several years now as a knitted afghan and I was able to resist. As a crochet project, temptation hit hard this morning and I was not able to resist.
I can hardly wait for the Lion Brand "Fisherman" yarn to arrive so I can start this while we have winter chill around and I enjoy having something across my lap and legs to keep me warm. I found this image online. It isn't exactly the same, but it is close enough for now. I will probably change the design a little. I like a plainer edge and perhaps a fringe. Might do an extra couple of rows to make it a deeper edge and dispense with the ruffle look. We'll see. And we'll see if I get it finished in time. LOL
