Linda ... that looks GORGEOUS!!! Is it knitted or crocheted? If it's crocheted, any chance I could get the pattern?

[adelmoll]

Beautiful Linda. That looks crocheted to me. Maybe you could post the pattern here so we could all get it. If not maybe you could just tell me how many you chained to start and I'll try to figure it out myself. I'm itching to start a new project. Thanks

That is down right goregous! And I know how many hours were spent making it - the fringe alone is a real time user. I'm almost done with my latest project and will post as soon as it gets up (it is for the Monty).
Happy trails......................

Beautiful project! Way to go!

Linda, that is the most beautiful afghan that I have ever seen.
It looks absolutely perfect. It would take me a lot longer than a month to do one of those. I will be eager to see the burgundy one when you get it done....Thanks for sharing with all of us .

Nice job, Linda. And it's great that you have an outlet to sell it....so you can buy more yarn! It's a beautiful afgan.

[Ozzie]

It looks soft and warm...you could turn down the heater with that one. Very nice!

[Sunshine]

Beautiful Linda.

[bob n pam]

That is beautiful, Linda. Great job.

[Imp]

Very, very nice and thanks for sharing...

[vickster]

Oh, wow!! You are very talented Linda. I so admire people's creativity! Did you also hand sew the comforter on your bed??

[faeb and genb]

After seeing the nice spreads Prariepoodle is making I had to show you what my wife has done. She is a quilter and has made a lot of quilts. Some of them are on her site... www.faebsite.com

The quilt we use on our bed in the RV is shown here:

It is the one at the top of the page. Since I love sleeping under a
quilt I finally convinced her we need one on our bed...

Well it took a little longer to finish this one but finally got the Burgundy one done. It looks great. The white one sold right away and now have orders for another one.

[countrygirl]

Linda, that is absolutely beautiful. You have inspired me to want to make an afghan also. So, I will be looking for all of the things that I need to make an afghan. My work would never be as perfect as yours.
But, I am going to try.
