The Afghan I've been crocheting

Thank you Bubble. He did say he loved it.

This is a lovely Afghan Nana and bet Jorje's cosy and warm using it. Good job ᐤ ❣ ᐤ

Ah, with my eyesight, I always miss the grey print, it does not register for me.

This is an old puzzle. I gave it to him last Christmas lol!

This has turned out beautifully but isn't it a cool weather project?

Děkuji. Ano, Jorje se to moc líbilo. Požádal o modrou barvu.

Jsi moc šikovná, deka je krásná a vnoučatům se určitě také moc líbí :-D

Thank you niccolino!

This is beautiful, nana. You are very talented. It looks very warm & cosy.

Thank you Marina! I'm working on 1 now for my 10 year old Grandson in CA. It is in camo colored variegated yarn.

Lovely colors and design. Congratulations!

Thank you @Sissel ! It is very soft and cozy*

Thank you so much for sharing Nana. Looks lovely and cosy :-)))

Yes, it would be a difficult pattern to manage in wool.

Holy cow! Donna, that would be so hard to do in crochet. You'd be changing yarns every few stitches for the peaks! It is a beautiful design though...thanks for the link :)))

It is interesting that the pattern worked out that way.
Here is a link to a fabric in a bargello pattern.

Merry Christmas and big hugs to you Rosalia!! How are things on your side of "the pond"?? Are you starting to get the vaccines where you live? We have high hopes that 2021 will be better :))

You're very good, Nancy! It’s a huge and joyous job when we create for grandchildren. You will definitely be very happy. You are blessed! Merry Christmas! Hugs!

Thank you so much brightie dear *!* I'll be starting on 2 smaller ones for my new grandsons (9 years and 4 months) in January. I hope your Chanukah (sp?) was a Blessed peaceful one ♥*♥

Absolutely Magnificent - I can see how much love you put into this - your grandson will be thrilled ♥♥♥ well done and merry Christmas Eve ☺☺

@DizzyDame7 Thank you, I hope he does too!!

Mila - you are so right...we are fortunate to have each other!!

dj - I have also used J and K and halfway through was kicking myself for not doing so this time. I'm going to make my new Daughter-in-law one for her March Birthday and will use the larger hook and maybe one of those fatter chenille-like yarns.

Nancy, I have made afghans with J, K, and L hooks and used two strands of yarn to make them in a weekend! Using the same pattern instructions, it comes out much larger than stated in the booklet, plus I always make them longer than called for. Try it sometime and see how you like it. :-))

(p.s. - two strands of variegated yarn won't work, I don't think. lol)

That is absolutely gorgeous. Hope that he appreciates it!

Thanks pasta...you must have been commenting at the same time as I was:)))

nanab - Thank you so much!

oynot - I taught myself to crochet in 1971 after my divorce to keep my sanity. Women's Day magazine had a step-by-step easy guide. It took lots of practice to look even.

Heidi - Thank you! I have mad respect for your talents too!

dhi Donna - I don't know what a bargello pattern is but the yarn is variegated so it made the pattern as I went...no skill on my part.

generic_bear2 - Thank you so much!! I hope he thinks so.

Birgit - Thank you so much!! You can write poetry for Xavier :))

sillychick - Thank you! I would happily make one for you and ALL my friends on jigidi!! If I use a larger needle, it goes much faster.

Cyndi - I dearly hope he will be proud of it!

Denyce - Thank you so much!

Jaynine - Thank you for your kind words! Maybe you could crochet booties or a stuffed animal for her. I have lots of patterns from Annie's Attic in the 1980's ;)))

Ellen - Thank you so much! I made a black and white one for my son and a camo (variegated yarn) for another grandson. In the last 6 years I've made 20 of them for family.

Karen - Yes! You can be my granddragon and I would crochet one for each of my jigidi friends gladly!

Wow! That is gorgeous. :)

Wow, this is wonderful! Can I be your granddragon? :)

It's just lovely! VI did a smaller one for my Grandfather many years ago in red, black and white. Yours will be a treasured keepsake for Jorje.

You’re such a talented and wonderful Gramma! It’s magnificent! I’m sure that he will treasure it always! I was going to crochet one for my granddaughter but my daughter says that she has enough blankets. My sister is making a quilt for her though to match the one she made for my daughter. So, that’s pretty neat/cool/awesome - whatever the word now is for “great”.

Wonderful - well done Nancy**

Oh my Nancy you did an amazing job crocheting this. Your grandson will be so proud of it.

He is sooooo lucky & Blessed 2 have you 4 a G-mother :)

Ohhhh just my size & color :) Awww you're sooooo Sweet :) It is Gorgeous & oh so Bluetiful 4 sure :) Merry Christmas 2 me huh? Say it's so, pleases please :)

That is amazing, Nancy. Many hours went into that but I’m sure your grandson will love it.

That is beautiful!!! Lucky grandson!!

What a beautifully executed bargello pattern, way to go! He will love it.

WOW!!!!!

Respect!

WOW! I wish I could do that. I've tried but somehow it looked like a knotted ball of yarn :-(

This is gorgeous nanap, great job! : )

Sorry...I left a zero out on @Askme001 and the underscore out on @Surreal_Heidi !!

Thank you so much dj, Jean and Iammjc !! I promised I would post it when I was done:))
Jean and Rob, I look forward to going on another adventure with you in the future*****

What a beautiful gift!

Dear Nancy- l am very well aware of the demands on your time and on your life- l did miss you on the cruise but l knew you cannot do all you want on Jigidi- My goodness. no apology is warranted- Rob and l had a good time producing it and we were very gratified at the response-

The afghan Jorje is getting is GORGEOUS- and good for you to have made it large enough that he will enjoy it for many years-

Love,
Jean

This is absolutely wonderful. You did an incredible job. :-)) dj

I know I'm forgetting some names but too tired to think!

Dear Jean and Rob, please forgive me for not joining in on your WONDERFUL world tour that you worked so hard on and looked like so much fun!! I saved all the puzzles but the fun is in the banter and fantasy that takes place at the time and I was too busy sewing stuffed animals and crocheting this afghan. I am so sorry!!
