Happy Birthday Erica

November 22, 2021

Erica is new on my list this year; she is Big Dylan’s (Dylan Burton) partner.

I used up the last of my Misty yarn on this. After I thought I was done I found a bit more yarn that had rolled out of my basket and was sitting behind my chair. It added a bit to the width of the afghan but It is still a bit long and skinny.

It is an easy pattern as the rows repeat so it is quite mindless. It is also a good way to use up multi-coloured scrap yarn and I’ve used it often in the past (and will continue to do so until my yarn is used up).

NOTE: It is the way the light shines on the afghan that makes some of the rows look more cream than white.

Country Star (from the Splendid Sampler 2 series)

There are 44 pieces in Erica’s card but it’s paper-pieced and that makes it easier. I haven’t met Erica yet but I hope to soon. I don’t know if she’s a “country” person but I think there might be a country song in there somewhere.
