Faye's New Swedish Weaving Afghan





Faye just finished this one for her grandson and it's beautiful. The colors are very similar to one I did a while back but Faye used a different shade of brown which gives it a whole new effect. I especially like the very last row where she made half sized diamonds and I'll use that on one of my own. It's fun learning from each other.


Her fabric was ecru and she used 2 blues (?) and a variegated blue with browns, and then a solid brown for yarns.

Donna hadn't quite finished the afghan she's working on but I'll take pictures of it in the spring. It's a gorgeous lilac fabric done completely with a variegated lilacs/blues/purples/pinks yarn.

  2. What is the name of this pattern may I ask? I have made some blankets but have used mostly a heart shape.

  3. This was made by my sister-in-law so I don't know the pattern name but it looks like one that came out of our favorite Swedish weaving booklet, "Diamonds".

    Glad you like our work!
