Artist's Comments

Pattern: Great Afghan from Vanna’s Color it Beautiful Afghans
Yarn Used: Vanna’s Choice acrylic in Purple and Dusty Purple
Hook Used: Crystallites size N
Finished Size: About 62” x 62”

I have finally made an afghan for myself! And this one worked up super quick, too - about three weeks from start to finish. Two strands of yarn held together + a big hook = quick work. It's a little hard to tell from this picture (I'll post a close-up too) but it's made of a light purple and dark purple held together to create a tweed-y look. It's really beautiful! And ridiculously soft - Vanna White's new yarn is the softest acrylic I have ever used.

NICE! I'd say the hardest thing for a crocheter to do is make something for themself ;) I actually just finished my first afghan for me too! haha :D

Looks good! But I bet your arms are really tired now. ^^ I know my mum has to take breaks in between. Right now she's working on curtains for the kitchen.
