Holiday Craft Source

The first winter that we lived in Pangman I finished off a Granny Square Afghan I had been working on for quite a while. This blanket is made from left-over yarn from my stash and from my late mother’s stash. I made up the squares in 2004/2005 and then finally during the winter of 2008 I finished up all the squares and crocheted the afghan together.

This past week I took it out and put it on the bed. It looks great and is very very warm.

I took a couple photos of the blanket on the bed. Of course, before I could take the photo of just the blanket, some of my cats snuggled up on it.

Well St. Patrick’s Day is going to be here before you know it. There is probably just enough time to make an Afghan for your Irish friend or family member.

Here are 4 free St. Patrick’s Day Afghans you can make:
