I have 4 1/2 months to make a set of His & Hers afghans for my dear friend. She's getting married at the end of September and I am determined to have both blankets done by the time I have to drive back to Milwaukee for the wedding.

JoScho Oh you can do it! 5y
cassareada @JoScho I sure hope so. I'm learning a new pattern for each one so I'm hoping it works out the way I want it to. 5y

cassareada @CouronneDhiver thank you :) I thought so too. I feel that gifts made with love are more meaningful. 5y
CouronneDhiver They really are... someone did that for us and I‘m still using them full-time, eleven years later 😊 5y
Kaye What patterns are you going to use, and are you using all the colors for both, or half and half ? 5y
cassareada @Kaye I'm using all colors in both blankets. The one I'm going to do a chunky ombre. It's your standard double crochet but working with 3 skeins at one time. And the second one is going to be a chevron pattern with multiple stitches for a more textured look. 5y
Kaye Sounds pretty. I hope you‘ll share progress photos. I like the colors you chose. 5y
cassareada @Kaye of of course I will! I can't wait to see how they both turn out. 5y
