Baby Gran Afghan

About a year ago I taught a class in Yahoo's LoomClass where the featured project was a motif I designed called the Baby Gran Squares. Today I want to share with you a beautiful afghan that Swapna Biswas, one of my star students, has recently completed. Swapna describes the afghan as follows:
  • I used Brenda's Baby Gran Square for the 24-peg large gauge round loom
  • Each completed motif was a 3.75 inches square
  • 165 squares were used (11 squares wide X 15 squares long)
  • With a crocheted border added, the afghan is 4 ft. wide X 6 ft. long
Here are additional pictures of Swapna's "loomchet" afghan:

I just recently started loom knitting and I LOVE it! In less than a week I've already made three hats, three wallets, a few squares for a baby blanket and half of one of the Christmas stockings I just started working on. It is so much easier than I ever imagined (though still a lot of work to me, maybe just because I'm new). I'm glad to have found your blog! =]

Thank you for the kind words. But I still have a ways to go.

I am inspired to try and copy as Brenda make it look possible for even a novice like me, thanks again.
