First, check out the 6 Days of Spring Link Party
After almost a year of knitting and crocheting different projects the knitting basket is loaded with leftovers. What to do with it all besides donating them is an issue I go through all the time. This year I thought to use them up by making another afghan. Not sure who will be the one to get it but it turned out rather large and not bad looking.
I must have had a least 12 different colors and textures but I put them all together in large squares anyway.
Once each square was completed I simply stitched them together.
I had a full skein of a nice blue for the around design.
For once I did not run out of a color.
And an added bonus, little crochet flowers to use up some white I know I'd never use.
Will be a nice sofa throw on a cold winter night.
Might just send it on up to Alaska. I know a couple that might just enjoy it.
Today was rather chilly here in the Tampa Bay area.. my outdoor thermometer is saying 42' at 2:00pm in the afternoon... not normal for us. My friend in Georgia said this morning, "It's Snowing".. maybe she could use a nice warm afghan?
Hmmm...? Who will get the Afghan?
"Stay warm all"

Sandy-
My brother was just in Tampa last week...if you'd have let me know sooner, he could have taken that blanket off your hands and brought it home to me!
Ha!
I love it,and the flowers make a nice touch too.
You definitely have an eye for design! I like the yellow stripe between rows.

I love leftover projects too. They are like a gift made of "nothing". Have a nice Sunday. Regula
Very nice, I really like scrappy quilts and afghans.
That turned out wonderful! Thank you for sharing at TTF.
What a great idea! Very creative!
