This little peanut inspired me to finish a long-hibernating project, the Graphic Granny Afghan from the Aug/Sept '06 issue of Crochet Today. Yep, you read that right - '06. I started crocheting these hexagons quite a while back, thinking I'd make a throw for myself. Since then I've moved apartments and I now have different afghan plans, and also, I kind of ran out of patience for making all the little hexagons. I thought baby Sophie might be able to put it to use as a stroller blanket now that the cold weather is creeping in, so I seamed all the motifs I'd made, added a border, and voila!


Hooray for finished projects! I think Sophie really liked it too. (Have you ever seen such a cute smile??)




And, good news - you can get this pattern for free here! I modified it by changing the yarn, colors and size - you can easily do the same since it will basically work out fine no matter what you change!
