[proudmama762003]

very beautiful - great job!!

[chrisdfriend]

That is so neat! Soooooo....did you write the pattern out? ;)
:lol I am working on writing the pattern, I'm going to take pictures of each round as I do it. Some of it is done in the 3rd loop behind the 2 top loops of the stitches and it would be confusing for a lot of people.

[chrisdfriend]

Wow, that is nice! Has he seen it yet?
:hugThanks! Yes he has test driven it! LOL I made it to fit a new recliner that he just got, it's a big size recliner!

[texasredhead]

That's a very pretty pattern!! It works really nice for a guy!!!! :cheer

[magiccrochetfan]

Very nice square! I like the shape of the center, and the way you framed it with the white to make the irregular shape into a square. It really reminds me of a Mediterranean tile.

Don't think it's fun to work out designs and use odd loops to make it work for you? I love doing things like that.

Thanks for sharing your work!

[1Buttercup]

That is gorgeous, I love the pattern and the colors!

[Pyroteca]

Your afghan is absolutely gorgeous. I love the colors that you used. I am sure that your husband loves it. I know mine is always trying to get me to make him more afghans (he is 6'6", so it is a big undertaking). That really is one of the pretties afghans that I have seen in a long while.

[Priszm]

Very very cool!

[Needle Arts]

Love the colors. You did a wonderful job!

:clapYou did a fantastic job! When you look at the pic of the whole ghan, the white that you used to 'square' up the tiles look like rickrack. It's absolutely gorgeous and the colors would fit in my living room if your husband wants to share.:devil
