The Crochet Dude's Prairie Style Afghan!

[Kelle]

Not sure who else gets the "Today's Creative Home Arts" magazine, but I just received my March/April copy and the Dude has a pattern for an afghan and pillow in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright!! :clap

Holy Schnikey it is so cool, I can't wait to make one for our new house! :hook (well, I can wait I guess; the house isn't projected to be done until Christmas hopefully!).

Anyways, :yay way to go Drew!! :cheer

The pattern is printed on their website. When you go there, just click where it says "read more" and the whole pattern is there!

[crazycrochet]

Thanks, I found that out after I had posted my message. I went back to the link and did some exploring on it and ta da :mdust the pattern appeared.

[Cat]

If you click on the "read more" on the website showing the thumbnail and then scroll down - it looks like the pattern is there. Is that supposed to be the way it works.

[jeannie1205]

Wow, everytime I look at your creations they take my breath away. I wish I had that type of originality in designing. Keep doing what you do and keeping us all in awe of your designs.

[YarnFeather]

Well... I purchased my yarn to do that project and DID NOT realize and apparently did NOT pay attention that it was DREW!!! LOL duh????

Once again, and always.... Drew, you rock! :cheer:cheer:cheer:cheer

[dilyca2006]

OK.. I got to the web site and I am now printing this pattern off. I believe that this will be one of my "to do's" this coming year.

I am in the middle of making his "Monet" afghan. I am making it in Red Heart Fall and bordering it in Red Heart Med Thyme. It is a bit dark, but, the gal that I am making it for loves the colors.

[dilyca2006]

OH.. Has any one made this Prarie afghan yet and have a pic of it??

Hello Crochet Dude,
You do very nice crochet projects and all your projects are well done. I've had a chance to see you on tv on Knit and Crochet episodes. I was wondering since I missed the first part of when you started the crochet granny square that starts in a circle and finishes up in a square. Would it be possible for you to let me know where I can find that granny square pattern? I really would appreciate it very much, I've looked on the #203 episode and there is nothing there.
Thank you,
Y.Marie
