Texas flag


Whew it's done! I started this while I was home in MI back in July. That's actually record time for me to do an afghan, especially one that has such a close stitch. The pattern throughout is a single crochet, double crochet. The next row you do a double crochet on the single and a single on the double...got it? Lots of repetition and it gets old but it made for a beautiful afghan. I used Red Heart yarn and found out that when you wash it in cold, the colors can bleed! I ended up with a pink section for a while until I got it out using OxiClean. Ken almost got to keep this one but I did manage to get the pink out. :) This afghan will be going to our local Museum to use as a fund raiser.
