Stash Bustin'


I really wish I knew what these two yarn are, but I bought them a few years ago and in my zealous urge to use my new wool winder, didn't bother to keep the ball bands. They sat in my stash trying to figure out what to be. Finally, I came across this pattern and woo hoo, a blanket was born!

The pictures of the ghan don't show it, but one of the strands is a very pale blue and the other one is white with a shiny filament running through. I'm sure they aren't anything exotic - likely Red Heart or Bernat, but wow are they soft when used together. Here's a better view.

This one is going to my step-grandson Brandon. He was the recipient of my Toronto Maple Leafs ghan, but this one is designed more for daily use. Every two year old needs a soft cuddly blanket

Forgive the proud step-grandma moment, but it's my blog and I'll brag if I want to!

    I'm loving the Maple Leafs afghan! Did you chart that yourself? I've been procrastinating charting my own because ... well, I've never charted anything before and I was hoping someone else would do it first! lol

    Yes, I did the charting myself - I used a program that's for Filet Crochet and made some adjustments as I went along. Glad you liked it!

    I wanted to know if you know where I could get a pattern for a sweater for Toronto Maple Leafs. I wanted to make one for my nephew. Your afghan is beautiful. Thank you

    Thanks Karen - I've never seen a pattern, that's why I had to make my own. I find it odd that they've never licensed the image, maybe if you contact them they might know who has the licensing rights?
