Hello everyone. Happy New Year. Yea I know I am 5 days late, but I have been rather busy and plus my New Year resolution was to stay off the computer as much as possible. It is working so far. Plus I have been crocheting a baby blanket for a great niece. Don't have any pictures right now, But as soon as I get done, I will post one.
I just recently learned about "Graph" afghans via a post on Facebook. It struck my interest and I thought I would dive in and try one. Several people told me that I needed to start with a simple SMALL black and white one first. Yea right!!! Not this chick. I go for the hard stuff first. I started with a medium size, 3 color graph. LOL!!!! I had to watch several video's on YouTube just to get past the first color change. OMG!! I was like, You have got to be kidding me!!?? Well with a little practice and persistence, I am getting my first one done. I plan on making one for the hubby, hopefully I will have it done by his birthday. He loves eagles, so I am making one of an eagle in full flight. Colors are simple: White, Heather Grey, Light Grey, Black, Yellow, Gold and Cornmeal.
Yea, that is a lot of colors, but the Yellow,Gold and Cornmeal are only a few stitches. Nothing like the white and other colors.
Plus I am doing a TWH graph afghan for Joyce Savage(though she don't know that it is actually for her). Yes, she has seen the photo, but I just showed it to her cause like me, she loves the TWH in the "Rack" This picture I picked too doesn't show the hoof stacks that are on the "Big Lick" TWH's. This guy looks proud. I told her that I was making an afghan from the picture, but left out the fact that it is next years Christmas present to her. The reason is cause of all the bull crap she had to put up with when she had Stone do a Racking TWH. People laid in on her about promoting the soreing process that goes on in the real world. Geesh, a model is a model, not a real horse. I won't go into details. Well, until next time
