"Shells and Chords" Crocheted Afghan I made for a Customer

A friend of mine placed an order for an afghan throw a couple weeks ago. She said she wanted it in cream and light brown trim. Which left a lot of room for my artistic imagination to go wild with the pattern design.

So, i started going through a new pattern book i have not used yet and found the pattern "Shells and Chords" and I thought it was so elegant also gave the blanket a 3D look to it due to the raised stitching.  Below is the finished product and my customer is Thrilled with the finished product and hopefully her step daughter will be too when she receives if for Christmas this year.

JMC Vlog Episode 45 Snow storms and Milestones

I share a big milestone in my fight against Crohn's Disease

In my last vlog I was sharing about my "week of crohn's hell" I was dealing with. Thankfully that Crohn's flare only lasted a week and after 2 weeks of fighting to get my strength back and get food and nutrients back in my body, I was well enough to accomplish something awesome (to me anyway) that I have not been able to do in over 5 years!!!
