Rose Garden 'Ghan

I have been wanting to get a collection of afghans made for when situations arise such as births, hospital visits, etc, I am able to quickly get an afghan to that person. I have 2 already and the Rose Garden 'Ghan will be the third.

I found the pattern in the May/June 2008 issue of Crochet Today!.

I will be using Caron Simply Soft, Dark Sage and an I hook. It's a lovely pattern and I cannot wait to start it.

Crochet Lacy Shawl

I found a wonderful pattern by The Crochet Dude called Lacy Shawl.

I used 9 skeins Bernat Cashmere and my Susan Bates Bamboo handle size K.

The pattern worked up rather quickly. Nice pattern, great yarn.

I haven't decided who I'm giving this to, yet. I have a friend online whose mom just had surgery that I'm leaning towards giving it to. But I have another online acquaintance who I may be giving a baby blanket to and I may also give this shawl to the wife/mom. I'm praying for the Lord to show me who to give this to. It may also go to someone at my church, I just don't know yet. But whoever receives it, they are receiving a gem. This pattern is beautiful and I really cannot wait to make up more of them.

It measures 20 1/2" wide by 48" long.
