Pinky Granny




Pattern:  Paton's Stained Glass Window
Yarn:  Hobby Lobby ILTY
Colors I Used Lightest to Darkest:  Soft Pink (lightest), Pink, Old Rose, Dark Raspberry (I think...I don't have the label anymore), Aubergine (darkest).  I abandoned some of the colors I used in the center round of colors so I didn't list those.  They just didn't work.
Hook:  Size H
Size:  38" x 52
Edging:  Filigree Edging by The Garden Bell, R1:  sc all around, R2:  (sc, ch 5, sc, ch 7, sc, ch 5, sc) in same sc, ch 4, skip next 5 sts, repeat around.
Changes to Pattern:  I only chained 47 to begin on this one because I knew I was making it smaller than I normally do.

I'm starting another one!
I'll give you a peek when I get a few rounds on it.
Later...

My goodness this is beautiful! If you keep making beautiful projects like this, you are going to force me to buy some of that ILTY! These are all my fav colors, too. Wow. What a wonderful job you did. You rock! :)

Now isn't that just one of the prettiest large grannies! And the border suits it well. You are a tad like me, I could have a zillion borders at my disposal and I still don't think I have found the one I want to use. The border looks like little flowers, just the perfect touch to finish off this lovely piece. Hey.....all the photos are showing up!

Debi Y. said...

Your blanket is just so pretty - I love the colors and your choice of the border. It's perfect. :)

The Garden Bell - Kate said...

Has to be one of my favorites of yours in a long time. I love the border you picked too. I think I've done that one before actually. It looks great and goes fast. Can't wait to see your yellow one and then a blue was it.

Finally, posted. I was getting emails worrying about whether I was alive or not. Just busy as you know.

Off to check in with others.

I downloaded this pattern from Paton, as part of my granny afghan collection. I have to say looking at your version makes me want to go out and buy the yarn to make this immediately. It is truly beautiful! Great job!
