My next project is going to be my first afghan for donation. I've started the centers of the squares the other night, but I put it aside in hopes of finishing the baby blanket first. Tonight, however, I've spent the night trying to find a pattern that we KNOW we have somewhere around here. It's for the afghan that my mother made for me a couple years ago. We can't find the book and the pattern is not online as far as I can tell. Heck, the one that I'm working on (pictured left) isn't even available online. That picture was from an ebay auction of the pattern (linked on the image). Someone clipped the pattern from an old (1985) Annie's Pattern Club book. I'm not sure that was the brightest idea for this person to do, but it's their loss, imho. Annie's books are just a treasure trove of great patterns. My mother made many a crochet baby blanket and afghan from those books. I have the actual complete book. It's been well loved. (aka beaten up and abused) My mother has made several of them and they look really cool when they're all done and sewn together. She's done so many color variations that it's not even funny. I will be getting to work on the centers tomorrow or so, tho. I have 45 more to make. Then I can figure out what other colors I'm going to use.
