Finished this afghan recently and gifted it to my niece Eimi. It measures approx 54 in X 82 in. Yarn is Plymouth Encore Chunky, color 678. The patten is Haverfordwest Reversible Blanket by John Lloyd. This is the second one I've made using this pattern. The first two photos were taken while knitting the afghan, the third while blocking.
I've knit two chevron afghans in the past couple years. Apparently I failed to post about the first one which I finished back in 2021. The pattern is Spicy Chevron Blanket by Patons. It was made for a nephew, his wife, and daughter (suspect she claimed it). The finished size is 48 in x 62 in. The yarn is Cascade 220 in these colors i-- dark blue #8393, dark teal #4009, teal #8891, yellow #4147, light blue #8905, and white #8505.
This second one was finished in June this year. It was made for a niece and her family. The pattern is The Walt Painted Chevron Baby Blanket by Danielle Romanetti. The yarn is Cascade 220 in toasted coconut #166, cream, and carmine rose #106, and deep teal #103. Finished size is approx 50 x 60 in.
I finished knitting this afghan in April this year. I gifted it to a nephew. It is approx 45 in X 68 in. I altered the pattern so it would be rectangular rather than square. The pattern is prairie blanket by Oat Couture. Yarn is Pacific Chunky Cascade Yarns in colorway 166 (toasted coconut).
I knit this one without a pattern. The edges are a simple garter stitch. I then knit the inside in a block pattern of knit blocks/ garter blocks in a checkerboard pattern. The yarn is Valley Yarn Berkshire Bulky in colorway dark grey heather. Finished it measures 50 in x 68 in. I gave this one to a nephew and his wife. I finished it back in March.
This afghan was finished back in February after starting it in Dec 2022. I gifted it to my nephew Carson. The pattern is Where the Sidewalk Ends by Fifty Four Ten Studio. The yarn is Plymouth Yarn Encore Chunky in colorway oatmeal. I cast on 130 stitches, did 32 pattern repeats to get a larger size than the pattern intended. The finished size is 57 in x 69 in.
I started this afghan in early August and finished it about a week before Christmas. Mailed it after Christmas to my niece (just because gift, not a Christmas present). The pattern is Trellis Afghan by Elizabeth Vindedahl. The yarn is Valley Yarns Haydenville in colorway 21 (yellow). Blocked it measures 65 in X 72 in.
This afghan was knit for a nephew and his fiancé. It measures (blocked) 62 in X 75 in. The pattern is Take a Sunrise by Fifty Four Ten Studio. The yarn is Berroco Ultra Wool Chunky in colorway 4311 Dove.
I knit this afghan for my niece Madi. I started it back in March and finished it this past weekend. It measures 60 in X 78 in. It was knit using Sinead Throw by Berroco Design Team with a modification on the border. The yarn used was Cascade 220 Superwash in colorway 866 Forest Heather. To get a border as I knit the afghan rather than adding afterwards I cast on 300 stitches -- 9 (side border) x2 plus 282 (center pattern). Knit 11 rows garter at beginning and end. Side border (9 stitches each side): (K1 tbl, k1) x4, K1 tbl on right side; (P1 tbl, K1) x4, P1 tbl on wrong side. Body of afghan knit per the pattern specifications.
I needed a big project to work on this winter so I text my nephew and ask if he needed an afghan as a house warming gift. He purchased his first home in the fall of 2020. He said sure and approved the color and pattern. It was a good project to work on especially during the ice/ snow storm in February. The pattern is Charette by Julie Turjoman. The yarn is Valley Yarns Haydenville Bulky in light gray. It took me approx 2 months to knit working on it in the evenings while I watched TV. The finished size is approx 55 in X 74 in. My nephew is well over 6 ft tall.
As mentioned in my last post I have continued to knit and quilt during my unintended hiatus. I knit this dog sweater for a friend's approx 5 lb dog in January. I don't recall the pattern and will have to search for it if I ever want to make the dog another sweater. It was a perfect use of some leftover bulky yarn.
