Spring Goal #2...New Afghan Designs

I love crocheting afghans, especially the giant granny squares! I wanted to give myself a challenge and decided to crochet two new styles of afghans to actually keep for Poot Manor!!

Here are the two designs that I have chosen...

I have actually started this one and have decided to use white and black. I have only done a couple of rows, so I as I progress a little more I will show some pictures.


The colors scheme I picked for this afghan is one of my favorites this Spring...aqua, peach, orange, and cream. I know that this is more "squares", but it is a little different.

I found these patterns in Tender Lovin' Care Afghans book. The cool thing is that book was less than $4!!

I can't wait to complete them.

P.S. I will be posting pictures of our legendary weekend soon!! Meatloaf was amazing!

Oh they are pretty! I can't wait to see yours finished! I started a blanket with a similar pattern as the first one with minty green and chocolate brown but I was new to crocheting at the time so I gave up easily! I am itching to start crocheting some afghans!
