Hey guys. I just finished another project. This one is from a 1984 Brunswick pattern mag, Cozy Afghans, volume 843. I found a variety of mags on eBay, and bought some from sellers who actually took the time to include pics of the featured pieces. This one was the first choice for me because I wanted to use up a lot of my stash yarn. That didn't happen at all. I ended up bringing the mag to LYS and matched the colors. I will be giving it to a friend for his birthday since he said that this type of pattern is the only 80's afghan style he likes. I made it look just like the pic in the magazine. There's enough yarn left over for me to make another one for myself. That one will have purple instead of black around all the colors. Go Ravens!
