As someone commented on my Instagram post about this afghan, "...that's a treasure of time travel..."
It’s rare to have a chance at seeing something I made years ago, still be in brand new, pristine condition! I was so excited to see this afghan that I gifted to a relative in 2004, and have the opportunity to take some photos of it. She kept it stored safely away all these years, rather than using it, which led to a squeal of excitement when I saw it again just a few days ago!
Back when I used to crochet, my photos weren’t the greatest, and of course I only took two (not so great) pictures of this beauty before I gifted it to her. I remember making this, and was so proud of those roses, lol!
Note: The yarn in the main body is actually an ecru color, so in some of the photos, depending on the lighting, it appears more yellowish. The day I took these photos happened to be a rainy, dreary day so it wasn’t the best day for a photo shoot, but did the best I could indoors.
I miss crocheting, but there’s just no time for it anymore. If only I could quit my day job and just stay home sewing and crocheting... now that would be living my real dream!
