Crocheted Afghan for a teen boy

 I wanted to break my cycle of starting large projects, getting bored and not finishing them.   I was determined to do this!  I used various stitches to create this unique afghan for my Son.  I have not done very much crocheting, so I just wanted to learn some new stitches.  I did not have a pattern & I love how it turned out.  Pretty proud of myself! 

Thanks for looking.

No Sew Fleece Throw Blankets - Without bulky knots

For Christmas this year I made everyone a no sew fleece blanket.  Our family is BIG on the Canadian theme, so it was pretty easy to choose fabric.  There are a few other themes in there for the little ones.  Thanks for looking :)

I opted for the not-so-bulky fringes.  I like the way it gives the blankets a border of solid colour.

The method I used was found here:
