Faye's Afghan

This is the Swedish weaving afghan that Faye just finished making for her daughter-in-law's relatives in Ireland. The colors represent the relative's favorite team (football or soccer or something). Faye started this afghan ages ago but she's been too busy all summer to work on it very often. She really polished it off in the last couple of weeks because her son and daughter-in-law were going to Ireland and could take it over with them.

These afghans cost about $30.00 U.S. to make but they take weeks or months to complete so few people would make them to sell. It gives us a nice warm feeling to put so much of our time into making them and then giving them to people we care about.

I know the Irish relatives will be very appreciative of Faye's kind gift.
