FO: Favorite Yarn & Afghan

The best way to begin this blog on crochet is to show my favorite afghan made from my favorite yarn. The yarn is Red Heart "Fiesta Jewel" (#0399) and the afghan is very simple design of single crochet. Because of the length of the individual colors in the varigated yarn, each stitch used up one color making the resulting pattern very interesting. The picture doesn't show the green colors very well. The edge is finished with a picot stitch which is just enough.

Made several years ago, the afghan is warm and comforting and it goes around my knees whenever I sit on the couch. There is enough in my stash of Fiesta Jewel for a sweater and I am still looking for the best pattern for my favorite yarn.
