Again with afghans, Again with the Trees, Free for Asking

[lydy]

I wanted to do the Tree of Life Afghan pattern in knit rather than crochet.  I chose a shinier yarn, the Michael's Loops & Threads Soft and Shiny, which feels really nice, but I don't think it looks as good at a more matte yarn would have done.

 



Here's a detail of the trees:







I actually did a different border, which I stole from the Yggdrasil afghan I did a while back, as I didn't like the border in the pattern.  

All in all, it came out ok.  It feels really nice, though.  

My environment is still saturated with afghans, so if anyone would like this, I would be happy to give it to you.  I will personally deliver anywhere in the Twin Cities, or will mail anywhere in the US.  Do let me know.

Oh wow, that's gorgeous. I'd totally take it, but it may really be meant for somebody else.

Well, delivery would be easy. :-)

You will have to fight Nuit for possession.

Just in case - Peg Ihinger is a big Tree of Life fan, she might be interested.

I believe the first, crocheted, Tree of Life afghan was made for Peg.

Indeed it was, and she seemed to like it when I gave it to her.
