La Vie en Rose Afghan AND Border Pattern Listed!

The border pattern for this afghan is now listed in my Etsy shop here.

The afghan with the border pattern is listed here.
Oops, there's a squished bobble...but that's easy to fix.
I'll just stick my finger through the back side to poke it out the right way.
 It was difficult to get the edges to lie flat on the grass,
but the edge lies flat on a flat surface.

What size is it, you may wonder?
Well...
this is how it fits on a queen sized bed,

and this is how it fits on a full sized bed.

I imagine it could be used as a bedspread/coverlet for a twin sized bed,
as the sides would hang nicely over the edge.
Sorry, there are no twin beds in the house, any longer, for a photo opportunity.

I think extra gingham rows could be added to make it wider for the larger beds, if preferred.

AND, most importantly, this is how it fits on my favorite chair:
its new home...for the time being. ;-)

And it's always good to end with a draping photo.
(Where are my bargain red roses when I need them? ;-)  )

Thank you for your patience in regards to all the "La Vie" posts.
Next week, I will be onto many different subjects, such as: the garden, something good to eat,
maybe even some other crocheting, and I've even been thinking about a house tour, 
but that would mean I would have to clean instead of crochet. ;-)

Until then, take care!
