Last night, I finished a round ripple afghan for my uncle. He's a great guy and is the substitute dad and big brother in my life. He recently started talking about retiring to Florida and I decided to give him the afghan I had already started on for a house warming gift. Turns out that he may not be going there for a while but I'll be giving it to him this summer to use when and where he wants. It's more than 6' from point to point! I wanted to use up a bunch of gold yarn and white that I had in my stash. I ended up buying a couple more skeins of the gold and one of the white. The yarn I used is from Red Heart except for the black that is a Caron yarn in the 1 lb. size (a staple in my stash). I used Aggie May's pattern. She is a member at www.crochetville.org and has generously given the pattern away upon request. If you like round afghans, I have compiled a list of FREE "roundish" afghan patterns and you can go here to see it. Do you think he'll like it? I've been a little concerned with the colors but I think they look kind of "sporty" and the design is masculine. Tell me what you think. Hugs to all...
