Finished Fridays:Sweet Pea Granny Square Afghan
This I named because it reminds me of the colors of sweet peas growing in spring. And it is sweet. Original. I know. Acrylic also, featuring the Vanna's Choice yarn that I have reviewed earlier this week. This was a stashbuster project. But granny square afghans are a quick, satisfying project. And I liked the colors. And for an acrylic yarn, it actually isn’t so bad. It is not crunchy. I definitely wouldn’t substitute it for dk or aran. It is tried and true worsted. But I like the result. It would make a good, washable baby afghan. In fact, I am going to make another stashbuster for a baby boy. And there is something satisfying about stashbusting. Come on. You know there is. Admit it.Apparently, my computer has destroyed the picture of my afghan, but you can find it on my ravelry page.
