but never got around to it.
Instead I donated it to a fund raiser silent auction being held this weekend for my friend Jody.
She has stage 4 brain cancer and not much time left :(
Its so sad, she is such a sweet person. Her daughter and my youngest have been friends since grade school.
They play saxophone in the band together and team up for hand bell duets.
I am hoping it gets some bids, I don't think people really appreciate how much time goes into an afghan. I think the colors are rich and cozy for fall. And its 100% acrylic yarn so it will take a beating and last forever.
Update: I didn't get to the benefit, but my daughter did. She said it had a bid of $25. I was hoping for more. (the yarn cost more than that) But it was for a good cause and hopefully someone will stay warm with it this winter !

That cancer is a nasty thing....I am sure someone will enjoy the afghan, it is lovely.
ReplyDeletethanks, I love to crochet and I am glad to be able to share for a good cause.

DeleteIt's beautiful and especially wonderful as it will benefit such a special person. I'm sure it gets lots of bids!
ReplyDeleteOnly $25???? Sheesh. Someone got a steal of a deal. So pretty. I'm sorry to hear about your friend....I bet that every little bit raised can still help!
