Butterfly Wings Afghan by Kim Guzman

I took crochetkim's tunisian afghan class here at Crochetville back in June. Kim taught us this gorgeous stitch pattern to create the Butterfly Wings afghan. I had so much fun making it, and Kim was very helpful during and after the class! I would love to take another class from her.

When I finished my afghan, I asked my husband what he thought. He said, "That's the most beautiful thing you've ever made!" I already have some sport weight yarn to make a wrap with using this same stitch pattern.

It's made with ILTY in Linen, and it is a birthday gift for my sister. I gave it to her yesterday, and she loved it.

Thanks again, Kim, for all of your help! Thanks to Crochetville for offering the class. I will definitely take more classes!

Theresa, Kim's website is here: http://www.kimanedesigns.net/index.html
The pattern is available on that. It's a great pattern, and the stitch is not difficult at all. It just takes some practice. Kim's a great teacher and the pattern is very well written.
