Happy Saturday! Well, here we are. It is March in the Midwest and we are about to embark upon yet another winter storm. There is a positive to being snowed in--crocheting! I love all of the chevron projects floating about on Pinterest. It reminded me of my very first crocheted blanket--the ripple afghan. I got the handwritten pattern from my mom, who got it from her grandmother. This is one of my favorite patterns because any beginner crocheter can do this and feel very proud and accomplished. It also makes a great gift for a baby shower or wedding. There was only one problem with Granny Jones' pattern--it was huge!! I've wanted to downsize this pattern for while so it would be more appropriate for a child, for instance. Before I went about doing any math, I Googled. I stumbled upon a fabulous tutorial here. She spells out exactly how to create your own size afghan in the chevron pattern. Thank you, thank you! Here is my work in progress.
