My great-aunt has found her self wheel-chair bound and being the proper lady that she is
--she will only wear dresses...never pants! -- she still feels the need to cover her legs. But wants to do it in a lady-like manner.
What better way to solve her
dilemma than to make a lap afghan -- or
lap'ghan.
.I found a beautiful pattern in this book:
Favorite Throws & Table Toppers to Crochet
Just by joining simple white granny squares with buttery-yellowed flower granny squares and she will have a simple, but elegant lap-
ghan.

This is so beautiful! My Gram always wore dresses too... :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with this granny square, it's so delicate!!!
ReplyDeleteJUst lovely. I may get that book; I love that granny square. What techniquie did you use to connect all the squares? I just finished a granny square blanket (pattern from LionBrand.com}and connected each square on the last round using sc in each 2sc space.
ReplyDeleteI am doing a simple whipstitch to join the blocks. Although -- I wish I would have seen the video on youtube.com (Crochet-Flat Braid Joining) before I started joining these because I looooooove that look much better than just a whipstitch!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely and dainty - so perfect for a lap afghan - I love it.
ReplyDeletethats lovely..
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love those lemony flowers!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The flowers look so delicate!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty and since the flowers looked just like pretty little daisies to me, I rushed right over to my favorite online bookseller and Annie's Attic to find the book...what surprised me was a used copy is nearly thirty dollars and a new copy is nearly ninety dollars!!! It must be out of print...so sad, as this is just too much money for one crochet blanket. :( You have done a beautiful job. ~Kelly

I just wanted to let everyone know that I checked out from the library the Favorites Throws and Table Toppers to Crochet book. I agree it's way too expensive. It does have some very nice items in it though. I've had trouble on a few of the patterns and if there is anyone out there that would like to help me, I would really appreciate it.
