Afghans Galore for Homeless Families Foundation, and Those in Need

AND, drum roll...told you to stay tuned; so hope you continue to do so.  Here's another round of Marsha M's afghans/lapghans.  This first one is a mix of colors, sorta pastel, but separated by black so good contrast.  It's The big granny square style.

AND, this one is another of the big square granny style, except that if you look closely, you'll see it was started not with one granny, but 4, for a slightly different look.  Lots of bright colors in this one.

AND this one, looks very different to me, even though it's the big granny square style, because it has a color theme to it.  I really like this combination.  

And, for a bit of variety this is not a granny style; but a side to side design, with nice solid stitches.  LOVE the graduation of color in this.  These colors will work well for a male or female, in my opinion.

One more granny squares, but made of 20 squares and then edged with multiple rows. This one focuses on just a few colors, but primarily green. So this one should also be good for male or female.  It's fun seeing all the variety Marsha comes up with.  

In this group, I think I'm partial to the non granny because the stitches are so nice and solid and the way color moves, it doesn't really seemed striped to me.

How bout you?  Do you have a favorite in this group?  This takes us to 15 so far....and again...I'm telling you how many more she has; so keep visiting to see.

Many thanks Marsha, please keep up the good work.  As I continue to launder and block them, I'll be posting more.

Lapghans, and Afghans for the Homeless

AND...drum roll please.  We have more granny style afghans/lapghans from our our friend Marsha M.  If you missed the previous post, please scroll back to see her previous 5 ghans/lapghans.  This is one big continuous granny square with lots of different colors.  I mentioned previously that I picked up a bunch, but am not sharing how many she made....She's been busy the last couple of years and we don't live that far apart, so I picked up the ghans from her and am getting them laundered and blocked.  

These afghans and lapghans get spread out around the house to dry/block after they get a bath, lol.  This 2nd afghan is 20 smaller squares joined and then multiple rows of edging, so a bit of a different style granny square.  Granny squares are so versatile.  I live the monochromatic style color scheme going on with this one.

And this one, while lots of colors is fairly pastel.  Another of the one big square style granny's.

This is another one big square style, but with a bit of a different flare due to the border.

Not a granny style, crocheted edge to edge.  I think this one is my favorite of this group.  It's so bold and I love the mix of colors in this one.  What do you think?  Do you have a favorite?

The previous post shows 5, so Marsha's current count is 10 ghans/lapghans.  Stay curious and keep coming back to help me count.  Nod nod, wink wink.

Stay warm, stay health, and stay safe all.

Marsha many thanks for your donation, please keep up the good.

5 Afghans and Counting, for Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Marsha M for this generous donation of afghans and lapghans.  As you can see, Marsha has been very very busy.  She's been working on these ghans for a good long while.  I picked up a full car load from her.  Seriously, a full car load.  Not going to tell you yet how many.  Will be sharing them with you and counting them as I get them laundered and blocked.  These pictures are in fact as they are laying about the house drying and being blocked.  This large granny square has a center block and works out from there.  Please click to enlarge so you can see all the colors.

AND this one is such a fun bright variegated yarn.  Some teen or adult woman is going to love this color.  It reminds me of roses, which also reminds me of summer and warmer weather.  Which I wish we were currently having, but we are not.  Thus far, we've had one snow that stayed for 2 days before melting.  Hopefully it will stay away for awhile. 

AND, this one is very Patriot with it's red, white and blue.  Rather than a single large square, this is made from 6 good size squares and is large enough for a nice family ghan.

But, don't go away.  We're not done.  I have more of Marsha's work to share with you.  This 4th afghan is a bit more open, lighter and lacy style granny center square.  The colors are very very fall like and remind of falling leaves.

AND this, afghan/lapghan #5, hello Halloween.  This is another center square style granny square afghan/lapghan.  Hoping a family with some children get this one because it really reminds of Halloween, and children so love Halloween.

What a fun variety of colors.  I hope you enjoyed seeing them as much as I did.  But, remember...do come back, cause there's more and I'm telling you how many more.  You have to come to find out.

Many thanks Marsha and please keep up the good work.  Stay warm and stay safe and healthy all.
