Four and a half Hour Afghan Reviewed by Paige Overton on 2010-02-02
This afghan is so easy and comes together very quickly. I've made 4 of them so far in various colors - one for me and one for each of my kids. My husband said to me last night as I was finishing my daughter's afghan - "when are you going to make me one?" So, I'm starting his today! They are very thick and warm blankets! We love them!
