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

Awesome, Dude! I have no doubt that Frank Lloyd Wright himself would have liked this hanging on the back of his chair in case he go a case of the chills. Ladies, we are in the presence of crochet greatness!!!:jumpyay:woo:fame:flower:dance:rock

Don't you wish you could see inside the Dude's brain, and Katchkan's brain, and all these other incredible designers' brains? My brain is is so not wired like that.

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.

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.
