I was blown away at how large your project was...and all of the colors you had to weave in...

Congrats--you deserve it...as do all of the selected projects...it was really hard to pick since so many of our members did such a fantastic job!

[Ffrogg526]

   So tickled to be featured.  Thank you so much for the honor.

[alwaysinmyroom]

I expect many more projects from you guys..!  As a fellow crocheter, I am inspired and appreciate learning new things and seeing such wonderful projects!

[pesky pixie]

Yay! I'm so happy to have made this list!  (Even though it's my big back-side that's on the front photo.) LOL!!!! 

[alwaysinmyroom]

to be honest, I was so stunned by the image that I did not even "see" a person in it!

lol--I can change the pic if you want!  I just wanted to show off the awesome work you did...let me snag a front view as well...I have such happy memories of that day...the USA was so proud of our heroes...we need to get back to the days of having people to look up to...


edited: ha--added the front--so now more people will come look!

[ohiodiygirl]

It did take a lot of colors but I love how it turned out! I can't wait to give it to my Grandma

The other projects are amazing as well by the way! I love how colorful the sweater is. And I have to give props to anyone who has the patience to sew together that many squares for a blanket, 12 was hard enough!

[alwaysinmyroom]

You must let us know what your grandma's reaction was! 

[ohiodiygirl]

I will! I think it is the perfect gift and it has turned out to be wonderful timing. I saw this pattern and thought she would love it because she has a lot of cats. She lives on old farm land in northern Ohio, she started with one cat and then they just kept showing up and getting dropped off.

So I started this afghan two years ago at work, I would crochet while on the phones. I got all most all of the squares done but then I was helping with a bunch of new hire classes for a few years on and off and put it aside. Recently, my grandmother left her 2nd husband of 29 years and has been traveling to Maryland and South Carolina to stay with her brothers and sisters. I had a long conversation with her over the phone and she expressed how she wished she had the time to make sure her cats were taken care of and that she missed them. So of course I picked it back up right away determined to finish it. This way she can take cats with her and always feel like she has a piece of home! <3

[alwaysinmyroom]

aww what a wonderful back story!

[DaphadillyArt]

Awesome picks!
