Winter is for Afghans

As I said previously I have been doing Craft Shows for 30+ years and the one thing that has remained constant has been my afghans.  I love, love, love making Afghans.  With winter being what it is this year in just about every state, they have been very popular.  So nice to snuggle under when chilly. 
   I do both knit and crochet afghans but I think the knit ones look richer although I have some crochet afghans that I love also.  Knitting takes much longer to do than crochet.

This afghan is done in strips and them must be put together and in most cases fringed.

Then afghans like this one are knit all in one piece.  Nice thing about that is when you are done, your done.  That is unless it has a fringe also.  This is a new one for me and doesn't have a fringe.  Probably my least favorite thing about making afghans is putting them together.

Here is a picture of this one finished and ready to mail.  I just listed it on The CraftStar yesterday.  Here is the link to this item.  https://www.thecraftstar.com/product_details/143115/knit-afghan-in-cables-and-pebbles-by-the-needle-house/

This afghan in made in strips and put together and fringed.  It is by far the best selling afghan I have ever made.  I have never gotten sick of making it either.  The first one I made was for my mother and I think she used it for over 20 years and I finally made her a different one.  I figured she had used that one long enough.  The link for this afghan is:  https://thecraftstar.com/product_details/141802/knit-afghan-in-patchwork-by-the-needle-house-in-aran/

I wish over the years I had kept track of how may afghans I have made.  I have been aske many times but I just don't have a clue.  I have given them as gifts for birthdays, weddings and anniversaries as well as selling them.  I hope you have enjoyed reading about my afghans and keep warm the rest this winter.
