This is a Lap throw, using the Short Row Tunisian technique. Of course being in Austin I had to use UT colors. I needed a third color so I chose brown for Mac Brown :-) The pattern design is by Kim Guzman in the October issue of Crochet World magazine
Tammy Hildebrand designed this wonderful Snowflakes Throw. The tech editors did not do a very good job on her instructions so there are a few errors. But after rewriting them correctly it was a breeze to complete. I even got my sister to start one! This is a free pattern at Red Heart.com or a tear sheet at Hobby Lobby. The Hobby Lobby sheet does not have the border row instructions, and the web site still have some errors. This is a shame because the pattern is quite simple and well done. The end product brought a lot of ooohs and aaahs at the Craft Group. It may become the silent auction or raffle item in this years craft fair.
Here is a link to my notes on joining the motifs together.
Sorry for the same chair in the photos, (you may see that a lot) it presents the afghans nicely, and is where most of them are made. lol
I am currently working on the Snowflakes Throw and hunting around for anyone who has any tips on it!! I am not really a beginnger but I have always crocheted things relatively simple!! If you have any tips you can share or the errors you discovered when you did this, that would be wonderful!! Thanks!
