Grammy and Me
Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Category: Crocheting

Materials

We used a variety of colored yarns, all in all, there are like 25 different colors. The photo only shows a fraction.

What was your inspiration?

My grammy and I had a lot of yarn from various projects, so we used it and created this.

What are you most proud of?

That my grammy and I worked on this together before she passed away.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Count and make sure that you're putting the dropped stitches in the right place.

My mother made this afghan for me years ago. She said it was called "Scraps of beauty". She is gone and I have been trying to find where she got this pattern.
