Afghans and Scarves

My evening knitting has been going very well thanks to the never-ending series Resurrection:Ertugrul.

This is quite a heavy afghan as it is crocheted with two strands of yarn. It is meant to allow you to use any weight of yarn along with a common yarn throughout. It was good at using up bits of yarn ends without thinking about if it was a lot lighter than the main yarn but it turns out very heavy and, I think, could actually be used as a rug.

On the other hand this afghan is very soft. It is made up of several different kinds of textured yarn but they are all pretty much a similar weight. I tried some other textured yarns in this but they were a bit too light so they got pulled out of the bin for other projects. In fact one of the yarns will be used in a scarf that uses the same pattern.

These scarves were a new pattern for me but I like it and will probably use it again. In this case the yarn was too heavy for either of the afghans.
