A Crazy Crafter’s Delight

I recently asked Twyla of Two Crazy Crafters to make me an afghan. And I was tickled when she said yes! I have admired her crocheted items for quite some time...

I asked my buddy Elizabeth to show her the colors she had used in her sweet afghan and Twyla went from there……

Aren’t the colors wonderful??????? I was so excited when I opened the box!

Right up 521 Lake Street’s alley. :):)

It is 48” by 48” and it drapes over the bottom footboard of my bed.

Look at the wonderful way she finishes the edges. I highly recommend Twyla if you would like a beautiful custom made afghan,

I will be having more fun things made, that I am sure of!!!!!

She has a really pretty one she just finished going up for sale in her Etsy shop now...

Thanks for stopping by…..

    Those colors really are so perfect! Love that jadite green, and that aqua too. And the lacy edge. Twyla obviously does beautiful work!

    If these colors don't shout "Sandy" from the rooftops I don't know what does! Perfect for you and you're right...the edging is very fine. Both of those girls are amazing!
    Hope you're having a good week!

    Twyla has a great sense of color along with several other skills, I would say. I'm sure you will enjoy it for years to come. Thanks for visiting today...I got the light cover at a yard sale several years back. You might find something like it on eBay.
