Rowan Mystery Afghan

Of course hubby wanted one too.

The pattern is from Rowan, the Pure Wool Worsted Mystery Afghan Knit-a-long.

I replaced the yarn with Stylecraft Simply Aran. 

It works well with any worsted or aran yarn.

The pattern can be downloaded from here

I did the 17 colour version (i didn't add the border though)

Patch Sampler Throw

I actually never knitted a throw before. When i was finished i knew why.

5 colours in 5 patterns can become a little boring.

Still i love it and it keeps me warm in front of the TV.

I used James C. Brett Aztek Aran yarn which is absolutely gorgeous and i will get more for a jumper.

The pattern is free from here
