lydyWhen I first started making afghans again, I found this pattern on the web. I decided tag it, but wait for a bit, as I wasn't sure my skill level was quite up to it. When I saw the pattern, I instantly thought of Peg Kerr/Ihringer. Peg doesn't seem to so much have a totem animal as a totem plant. So I made this afghan for her.
I had to invent a border, since I purely hated the border that the pattern came with. It was supposed to be leaves, but if you did the pattern, they didn't look much like leaves. So, I did this instead.
They kinda sorta looked like leaves. And I really liked the idea of leaves.

I gave the afghan to Peg tonight (after laundering it to remove cat dander). She seemed to like it quite a bit. I'm very happy with how this one came out.
