leftovers

there were lots and lots of partial skeins of yarn leftover from Auntia's sunflower throw...

she was DONE with them...

and i do mean DONE...

like, totally DONE...

she put them in the donation bag and said that she didn't ever want to see them again...

so i rescued those bits of skeins and tortured her for a few weeks while i made this...

daisy, daisy, give me your answer true

it was adapted from this pattern at Craftsy and it was fun to make cuz it was all leftovers...

and didn't cost anything 'cept time...

 and i had absolutely no expectations...

and we all know that expectations are premeditated resentments...

Oh, you're dating my ex?!? Cool ... I'm eating a sandwich - want those leftovers, too?!?

anonymous

outdone

and so...

remember this sunflower throw?!?

Auntia decided that she, too, needed a sunflower afghan...

and with her new status as a crochet artiste with intermediate skill level she decided that she would make her own...

SO much cooler than the one i made!!!

it seems that not so long ago she was crocheting the World's Longest Chain That Would Never Be Anything and i was trying to convince her to let me show her how to work a single crochet so she could actually Make Something...

sniff ... sob ... my baby is all grown up

yes, the Force Is Strong in this young padawan...

the pattern is fall sunflowers afghan from Herrschner's 2010 Treasury of Crochet Afghans... 

Auntia substituted a variety of worsted weight yarns for the bulky yarns that are listed on the pattern...

it is an amazing Piece of Work and i am happy to have been totally outdone!!!

Do. Or do not. There is no try.
