Wow, this pattern is so lovely! I would love to take this afghan with me to the beach or drape it over my shoulders on a cold summer night!

Such serene deep ocean blues make this afghan a beauty to display and drape in your living room or bed room. I like to decorate for the seasons, and I always really do it up during the summer months with an ocean or tropical beach theme. Thank you for this surprisingly easy pattern!

I made this afghan for my 26 year old daughter as a Xmas present. I hope she loves the colors as much as I do. Thanks for a great pattern.

I love this pattern & the colors. It would be pretty in shades of mauve. Thanx for a great site to spend hrs upon hrs browsing. Don't know why it took me so long to find it.
