Oleva's Afghan

Lest you think there hasn't been any knitting- here's a fix for you.



Also there have been a couple of mittens in the marle yarn. I've come out of denial and realized- with the help of my friends- that the yarn is too busy for cables. Looking for a hat pattern that will complement the mittens from one-skein wonders.

This afghan is a testament to beauty in simplicity.

That is one HOT blanket! I love a good minimalist design. Let that yarn work for you, I say.

Becky,
There are days I hate my job...I help pick out the yarn for a project and then I never see it again.
Thanks for the photo...much better than the one in the book!!
And Jared would be proud of the steeks!!
