snowflake afghan!!!

[laurastar0962]

Ok sisters and brothers of the hook. My mom is on her way over to teach me how to join and make granny squares, and I lost the pattern I had marked due to the storm last night!!! It is white snowflake/star looking grannies with a dark blue backround, and I am almost positive the white is mohair. Please if anyone can help whilst I look everywhere, it would be lovely. Sppecially since I dont need my mom to think I am a dork about anything more in my life!!:devil

Laura, I have made this afghan and it is beautiful. I did add on more row to make it a little larger. Here is a picture of it before it was unfinished.

:lol :lol Me too, me too! I made the art of tangle one and get comments all the time, you can see mine here (http://byhookorbycrook.blogspot.com/2006/03/no-two-snowflakes-are-alike.html) It was a fun pattern that looked hard to me but I didn't have any problems with it.

And me! I loved making this and I usually hate making anything that has to be joined. I found it less painful to join the squares into strips as I made them so I didn't have to do it all at once.

I love that pattern! I think I'm going to put it on my "to do" list also.

Chrome: I like the red background. I had thought about making one with a burgandy background.

Thank you. I like yours too. Is that Bernat Denim blue? Burgundy would be cool, maybe with a cream or off white for the snowflakes. It would look very warm and inviting.:c9

I made it too - navy rh ww and white/silver Christmas yarn - got a blue ribbon First P;ace at the County Fair last month. It's a beautiful afghan to make - have fun.

Terry, Isn't the Christmas yarn a little different weight than the regular ww? I was thinking that having some sparkle in the white would look very pretty. I'm glad you posted yours! It is lovely.

i love the one from www.artoftangle.com (http://www.artoftangle.com) i have done it in the blue and white but also a red and white combo. my favorite was a pink and white i did in baby yarn for a baby's first winter. the pattern is definately a keeper!

i started a CAL for this pattern

About how big are the individual motifs and the completed ArtofTangle snowflake afghan? It doesn't seem to be listed anywhere.

Edit: Well, I just made up one test motif with regular WW Red heart yarn and it came to 8 inches across. My motif is kinda lumpy and doesn't lie flat, but I'm hoping that's normal.

[terrybb]

Kathryn, The Christmas yarn is ww but slightly thinner than the navy. Not enough to be a problem.
jura 2908 - I love the idea of that pattern in baby colors. What a great idea.

Chrome: The background of my afghan was the Walmart brand of yarn. I can't even remember what they call it. It is various shades of blue and reminds me of a very dark night. YEAH, burgany with off white flakes. That sounds so nice.

[Homebody]

Well, I just started making snowflakes! I'm doing the white (I have Caron One Pound on hand) first. I have 2 of the Caron One Pound in Midnight Blue. That might look nice. I haven't decided yet. It seems squares take so much longer to make than my other afghans. Oh well, I don't need it until Christmas! I would have loved to use the Christmas sparkle yarn, but I don't have any on hand. (Still need to use up stash!!). I would love to see some of the other colors done up.

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow! They all look so fabulous! I think I will try to make one too....eventually after I get through a few more projects that have backed up!

[ChainOFools]

I love everyone's versions! The red background is very striking! I also thought of trying it in an emerald green for an aunt who is crazy about green :D

[laurastar0962]

I am having trouble on round three.......I dont know why everyone seems to be able to understand patterns, and I cant. I really wonder if asll the medical stuff I went thru damaged that oart od my brain:(

What problems are you having?

[Badtz_maru]

Wow, this works up really fast. I did two out of some scrap wool (note to self: use the same size hook so they match, duh!) one light flake with dark bkg, one dark flake with light bkg and then whipped them together to form a potholder. And that is the extent of my attention span so I don't know if I'll ever make the whole afghan...
