Blue in about every shade possible is shown above, and so I name this designed and waiting to be assembled afghan Blue Sky. Is my friend, Sandie P out there...she loves blue so I thought of her when designing this one. If you've missed the last handful of posts, you may not know I dumped squares in the living room and went at it again...designing like a made woman, bagging and tagging ghans to work on. I probably will edge and assemble this with an ivory/beige. Notice how many different sizes there are. I still have plenty of squares from before I asked for 8 x 8 inch squares only.
I often do the traditional diagnal design when I have multiple squares of the same size or color; but with lots of variety I tend to like to spread the color around. More patch worky...is that a word? There's one lone knitted square above, others are sampler squares, and some are traditional granny squares. Do you see any of your squares above?

Blue sky is sure to be a beauty Sandy just like the beautiful blue sky we are having here in NJ this morning! Blue skies always lift ones spirit and so I can imagine this Afghan will do just that for its future family. SO IMPORTANT! Plus a wonderful gift of warmth. This one is sure to be a winner!

ReplyDeleteToday in the mail (which just came) I received my contest winnings from Sandy! THANK YOU SANDY!! The beautiful wool is going to be so much fun to work with!
