I finished a new afghan yesterday!<\/p>\n

I found the pattern and color inspiration on pinterest, from Lindsi on the blog People Webs<\/a>. When I found it, I just knew I needed to make one like it! It is a really easy pattern, and I loved watching the blanket come together!<\/p>\n

I made my afghan about the same size as a blanket I already had. Here’s a picture of the afghan with my cat, Kiki, for some idea of the size!<\/p>\n

I used a variety of yarn brands. I had kind of a hard time picking my colors and putting them in the “right” order… After I bought my yarn I put laid them out in the order I wanted them, but after I started crocheting and was a few rows in, I decided that I wasn’t happy with how the colors looked. Then I tore everything out and started over. A few times. Then I decided to make a tiny square of the colors crocheted together. I should have started with that – I would have saved hours. I’ll know for next time! Anyway, once I figured out my color order on the small scale, I was ready to get back to the afghan!<\/p>\n

Here are the yarns I used (in order):<\/p>\n
