Spideyghan for Joe

approx 53" across

Pattern used was Gail E's pattern Spiderman Round Ripple Afghan
Only change made was one less round of blue as I ran out of blue I Love This Yarn. I had just enough red. I would suggest making sure you have at least 15 ounces yarn if working with the suggested H hook.

This ghan was not made by me, but by my daughter (posted with permission). She crocheted all 30 Red Heart Classic black granny squares and used Bernat Super Value Carrot to assemble the squares using the continuous join method. The colors are supposed to mimic the Harley Davidson color scheme and I think does a pretty fair job of it. (A close second was Caron Natura Pounder Orange)

She used about 40 ounces of black (11 full skeins and a bit of a 12th) and about 10-12 ounces of orange (1 full 7 ounce skein and less than half of a second one)

You can find continuous join instructions here .
This was done on consignment as a Christmas gift.

This is the afghan I made as a wedding gift for my daughter using 15 skeins of the then brand new Vanna's Choice yarn in beige. Pattern is Samantha's Box Stitch Afghan available on the Patterns page. I chained 160 with a J hook.

Kate

This is the shawl I made for my daughter to wear at her wedding. The pattern was at Michael's web site and is Patons Silverlash Beautiful Crochet Shawl
It's a very simple pattern, quick to work up. Basically it's just (dc, ch 1, sk 1), a filet pattern with an even chain. As always, I made changes. I used a bit longer foundation and put a picot border which really dresses it up IMHO. I used Pernat Baby Coordinates which gave it a nice sheen and matched the dress color.
