Hello everyone, I wasn't sure where to post this so feel free to move it mods. I just wanted to share an afghan (blanket) my aunt made for me. She does crochet in her free time and made one for each of my brothers as well as me. We each got to choose the design that we wanted, so naturally I went with the Flower of Life from the AHFOD cover. Now it looks a bit stretched and as if it doesn't have the right proportions, but it's just the way it's laid out. Also, the colors are as close as possible, though I know they are not exact. You can't exactly blend the colors the way they are on the actual art work. But I think that she did a great job, especially with the circles because those are a pain to do. Anyway, I just wanted to share it with all of you. Thanks for viewing! :D

That's so awesome!! Your aunt did a great job, I must say :D. Could she make one for me too? :P

Awesome!

Yeah, rings and especially rings in a geometrical pattern where everything has to fit is a pAIN

Yeah I actually made the design in Photoshop and she used some website to create the pattern, which didnt come out completely right, so she had to eyeball some of it. The design actually makes a good background. Ill post that later.

She has no idea I posted it on the internet, so she will be psyched!

Here is the image it was based off of in case anyone wanted to see it. It makes a good background too.

I love it and it must have been a lot of work.

What is the size of the blanket?

I didn't know this type of blanket is called an afghan. I honestly thought you spotted some afghan person dressed in an AHFOD themed outfit.

Thanks! It's fairly large, about 4 by 8 feet or so.

Wow, how long did she work on that piece?

Not long actually. It was around the beginning of December when she started, and she didn't work on it everyday. So it took roughly a month and half total.

That is unreal! I crochet and wanted to do something like this. Could you ask your aunt what website she used to transfer the pattern you made to crochet? I cannot believe she did it that fast!! I'm an arthritic crocheter so I am sooo slow.

This is so beautiful! Your aunt did an amazing job! You're so lucky!
