Nina’s Colors Reversible Afghan

Nina’s Colors Reversible Afghan

@ 2005 by BarbaraAnn Couturier

This afghan is really really beautiful! I want to thank Barb again for the pattern, and she sent me the afghan as a gift. I love it. Thank you so much!

Red Heart 4 Ply Worsted Weight Yarn:
 24 oz Navy Blue                
24 oz White             Size H hook



Ch 151 with Navy Blue.

Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook and in each remaining ch. Ch 1, turn.

Row 2: Sc in each sc across to last sc. In last sc, insert hook, yo, pull yarn through, cut yarn leaving a length about 3 inches long, drop Navy Blue and pick up White, leaving a length the same size, yo and pull through all sts on hook.

( You have now completed a sc color change.  Do all color changes in this manner. For a dc color change, yo, insert hook in last st, yo, pull yarn through, cut yarn leaving a length about 3 inches long, drop that color and pick up next color, leaving a length the same size, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook, yo and draw through remaining loops.)

Row 3: Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc now and throughout pattern), turn, dc in next sc, *sc in next 2 sc, dc  in next 2 sc. Repeat from * to last st an do a color change as described in Row 2. You should have ended with a dc.

Row 4: Ch 1, turn, *sc in next 2 dc, dc in next 2 sc. Repeat from * to last st and do a color  change as described in row 2.

(You may tie the ends together as you go for the fringe, or you may tie them after you complete the afghan. The choice is yours.)

Repeat rows 3 and 4 to desired length ending with a white row and doing a color change. Sc in each st across, ch 1, turn, sc in each st across, fasten off. Weave in beginning and ending lengths only.

Note: Toss afghan in your dryer on a heat cycle for 15- 20 minutes. I find that this pulls the sizing out of the yarn and leaves the afghan soft.

Review: Sealed with a Kiss

Sealed with a Kiss by Janet Tronstad
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sealed with a kiss

From the old west to present times, this is wonderful collection of
short love stories, by four different authors and four different types
of story lines. Great read.


1. Mail Order Sunshine Bride by Janet Tronstad
Nellie headed west in the late winter 1886 for a new life in the
Montana Territory as a mail order bride taking her young son Danny
with her. But her husband to be had played poker and lost
her in a bet and the sheriff wants to take her to jail! Now
what is going to happen to her.

I loved the wonderfully developed characters in this story
and the amazing story line. Great read.


2. Deadly Intent Margaret Daley
Someone wants to put Ian out of business, they poisoned his dog,
then steal his prize horse, 5 head of cattle are dead, and they
poisoned the water hole. Someone set his barn on fire. And it just
keeps getting worse. As a former police officer Ian has along of
people that want to hurt him and want him dead.
Then into his life walks Texas Ranger Sarah Osborn once the love
of his life and someone has taken Sarah hostage.
Lots of suspense and action, great characters, I loved it.


3. Unshakeable Pursuit Camy Tang

A young girl shows up at the Childrens Free clinic and wants Drs.
Maylin Kinley and Geoffrey Whelan to disappear before they are hurt
or killed. Then fake two FBI agents show up, and tries to kidnap them.
Now the fake agents are after them, can Geoffrey save them and still
win the heart of the only woman he has ever loved? Then they kidnap
Maylin!

Lots of suspense, mixed with fires, gun shots, ice bombs, tear gas,
martial arts, and more guns makes this book a great read with tons of
action.


4. With Love, Cowboy C Lacy Williams
Since Ashley joined the military, and worked with Atlas, her dog,
her missions were discovering explosive devices, but she never planned
on losing a arm when the bomb went off ending her and Atlas's careers.

Now back home in Oklahoma, she faces an uphill battle with her
mom's heart attack and her dad forgetting to many things, she now
must to learn how to do things for herself. And face the boy with his
puppy love for her who now has grown into a man.

This story has the best ending I've read in a long time. Loved the
characters, story line, every thing.
