I am going to use that afghan pattern from knotsewcute on Etsy for Gramma's Christmas gift. I was going to use Cranberry to match the living room, but she mainly sits on her chairs in the nook to read her Bible. Grampa sat in the living room to watch tv. The Fisherman will go anywhere in her home. Too bad there's not a lavender. So I'm going to buy another 13 skeins, here goes! Where am I going to store all this yarn? Maybe behind the sofa!

I purchased a beautiful afghan pattern from knotsewcute on Etsy for $3.99 today. I love it! Needs 12 skeins of Lion Fisherman Wool-Ease Thick & Quick-yay 30% off! This should be a total breeze! And it is gorgeous! This would be excellent in Cranberry, too.

I was excited to teach myself the border. It MAKES the afghan. I'll be putting borders on my other afghans! I think I'm doing the stitches correctly now!
