Four years ago, I spend a lovely after-Christmas afternoon strolling through craft stores with my Mom and lunching at the Olive Garden. I wanted to find a pattern and yarn to make an afghan for my neice Emma. That day, I found a great pattern in Red Heart's little booklt entitled "Crochet & Knit: Cozy Comfy Home". The unlikely title for this perfect pre-teen afghan pattern was "Fringed Lodge Afghan". It's amazing what a difference color choices make!
As the inspiration yarn, I chose a varigated skein that featured royal blue, lavendar, teal, and hot pink- perfect for beautiful and vibrant Emma! Then, I selected the other skeins as solid colors that matched the colors in the varigated one.
Happily, I finished the afghan in time for Christmas this year. Emma liked it and proceeded to snuggle in its vast expanse immediately. It should be large enough to cover her bed in college!
