These are the type of patterns I love to find. A challenge but not too much of a challenge. Then when done, you can feel really accomplished because you have created a really nice piece of work that anyone would be proud to own.

Wow was then first word I uttered when I saw the afghan. It's like an Indian design. I would like to do this. Thanks for having the pattern right on the same page, that makes it easier for us crocheters.
