47/365 Flags and Banners


This is an American Flag Afghan that I crocheted about 7 years ago. It is one of the very few blankets that I have kept and I really hope that I can pass it along to my kids. One little quirk in the pattern was that there are only 48 stars so I just don't let anyone look at it long enough to count! (Ron - there are 50 stars on the American Flag in case you needed to know in Australia.)

  1. Boundless talent is almost inexcuseable, how do you live with your self, I celebrate Presidents day by trying to "Walk and Chew Gum at the same time"

  6. Beautiful photo of a beautiful heirloom-to-be! I've crocheted small things, but something that size is a bit intimidating to me. OK, a LOT intimidating! Such a multi-talented soul you are!

  8. A beautiful photo of a priceless flag! I love your afghan. Having no aptitude for handicrafts, I'm very appreciative of the skill and patience it takes to make this.

  11. Love the way you photographed this and love your comment to Ron. I see, however, that it did prevent his (inevitable) witty comments!
