Pastel Garden Afghan Design

Right after designing this and photographing this, I decided to remove the teddy bear square in the upper right corner. It's part of Wee Irish if you'll remember. The idea hit me as I was getting ready to label and bag these squares. So I figured I didn't need to take another picture. I would know the one square not pictured would be in it's place. I'm hoping I have enough light green to edge and join this afghan.

I still have plenty of designs to share with you. Remember, back a few posts I've mentioned a major design fest here in my living room. You should be seeing lots of your squares folks here, and in previous posts, as well as in upcoming posts. Did you miss them? Scroll back and see if you can identify some of yours.

Rust Can be Pretty

When I think of the word Rust, I think of old, worn out or in need of work. Well this afghan design isn't old, or worn out, though it does need work, lol. It needs edged and joined. That word though was the first that popped into my head. Remember I told you I was designing like a mad man for a couple of days. So, unless someone comes up with a better name for this one...and I'm open to that; this one will be named Rust.

Purple Mountain Majesty

I've tried to match this camo tan yarn up with several previous afghan designs and just couldn't get firmly behind it. But.........here now, I believe is a match. I think this camo tan donated yarn will work really well with this afghan, I've named Purple Mountain Majesty. Who see's some of their squares here?

Donations from our Nations Capital

Thank you Alison, our newest pair of helping hands from our Nations Capital, Washington DC for this thoughtful donation. Alison's blog has been added to the blog log. Please hop over and see her and welcome her to the group. Look at these lovely knitted scarves (11). Lots of different colors and different designs and stitches and yarn/fiber. All so nicely sized! I like nice big enough to wrap up in scarves.

Did a close up to show you 2 with really interesting stitches. The green on the let is a really awesome cable, and I'm not sure what to call the one on the left. The picture doesn't show it's color well, it's light blue. The above dark purple (3rd from the right) is the same fun and interesting stitch. Alison, Love to know what stitch that is and what patterns you used on these 2 scarves. Very cool! Hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond.

I'm calling this afghan, Grandma's Garden. Will be checking shades and amount of pinks, violets, and blues I think for edging and joining this afghan. Or maybe yellow? As always it depends on what I have in the stash in the right amounts; but please feel free to jump in with an idea here or anytime.

I'm naming this afghan Desert Night. Many people feel that deserts are bland and without color; but....the colors are ever changing based on the time of the day, how sunny it is etc. And sometimes you have to study the scene for awhile to see how many colors there really are. These colors make me think of the west, the desert, the hues of pinks, purples, blues and more. I'm probably going to edge and join this ghan with a tan, off white if it's not too light. We'll see what's in stash and go from there.
