Green acres is the place to be
Farm living is the life for me
Land spreading out,
so far and wide
Keep Manhattan,
just give me that countryside.
It was a fun little show, pretty corny and predictable but cute, entertaining, and non violent. Anyway, Green Acres is what came to mind as I was designing this afghan. I also thought of Grape Vine? But thought the green was more abundant and obvious then the purple. Probably will edge and join with dark green.
If you see any of your squares here, please sing out. Most of these are crocheted, but there are some knitted squares. While not all are the same size, they're not too far off.

One of my favorite color groupings. I love all these colors and Green Acres is as good as any. It was 98 degrees here yesterday and I spent the afternoon in the A/C with iced tea, crocheting, in purples and greens. Outside today hopefully, into my own Green Acres. Keep up the good work. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marj for the visit and comment. We started our dark and very cool, though it did warm up about supper time.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and the name Green Acres!
ReplyDeleteWhat is with this weather, 98 in Minnesota and here in Virginia had to turn the heat back on for the past two days!
You can sure have some of the heat Dorothy. I think we had enough for everyone. Earliest it has been that high here this early in 80 years.Yikes. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI love it all Sandy! You crack me up! Perfect name and Perfect colors!
ReplyDeleteLove the name and the color combo! Does anyone remember the old t v. Show called petticoat junction? Maybe you could do a series of Afghans with old t v series names!LOL! It was chilly here in NJ today and needed to put the heat up like Dorothy did. Please keep your heat where you are as I much prefer the cooler temps!
