Here’s my latest handicraft project, which I recently completed. I like one-piece afghans that don’t require sewing together once you have all the blocks done. However, in summer, it’s just too hot to have an ever-growing blanket draped across your lap as you add the next row. Once the weather began to cool down, I took up my crochet hook and started work on this wavy, double-crochet pattern. Since the last afghan I made incorporated pastel shades, I chose brilliant colours suitable for fall for this one. The lime green, purple and orangey-red are eye-popping, aren’t they?

The perfect thing to wrap up in on a snowy day while reading a book and drinking some tea.
Thank you, everyone, for your compliments. It is a nice warm wrap, big enough to tuck around you cozily.
Wow — looks like a bed of Petunias — well done!
Lovely! I wonder if I’ll manage to get my crochet hook out this winter?
Thank you, LB. It’s a longggg winter. Lot of time…
Eyegillian, petunias! What a great thought.
