Vintage Style Crochet Afghan

Now that the Holiday Season is well and truly over its time to get some work done!     Haven't been doing any papercraft or beadwork for a few weeks now - I have a pinched nerve which is causing me serious discomfort.     Have to sit with my legs on the same level as my hips otherwise I know all about it!!    Bit difficult to be doing any papercraft or beadwork that way - as I tend to move around quite a bit while making cards etc.

What to do????

Luckily I had cleaned out all my various craft stashes pre pinched nerve - so everything was nice and organised.     The only thing I could really do with having to sit quite still (something I manage with extreme difficulty) was to knit and crochet!

Made a vintage style crochet afghan for our Caravan!

Saw the idea for a vintage style throw on the cover of  one of those learn to crochet magazines - didn't have a pattern or anything with this one.   Just started out by making a bunch of random granny squares and then filling it out from there.

I tried to use colours I wouldn't normally use / mix together.   Think it is quite a happy looking afghan (and it is super snuggly)
