Maurie and the Rose Heart Afghan
Maurie is one of several Skein Lane knitters who have knit a heart design afghan inspired by the Fiber Trend Pattern CH-24. She started with a rose colored Cotton Fleece that she recently finished. She has now embarked on a blue heart afghan inspired by the Fiber Trend Pattern (CH-24)…she decided to do a garter stitch blanket embellished on the edges with hearts. She just cracked us up this morning with her description of her two-year journey to knit the rose-colored afghan…..”with the first blanket I marched through the knitting wilderness as I mastered that pattern.”
The Rose Heart Afghan
The pattern is simply one that requires a little time to get “married” to rhythm of it….Maure was going through lots of changes when she started this blanket…and kudos to her for sticking with mastering the pattern. The blanket is beautiful and I’m delighted that she is inspired to do a modified version. Go Maurie!

Skein Lane - IN THE LOOP 
Kudos to Maurie – her colors are exceptional. I knit a baby blanket in this same pattern (it was in Gwen Steege’s “Knit Baby Blankets!”) in Rowen Soft Baby (wool, polyester & cotton) awhile back, and recommend it.
Jan…I remember yours but had forgotten that it was featured in the book “Knit Baby Blankets”. Thanks for the reference….and yours was beautiful. I’ll try to link back from here.
Hi I chanced upon your finished rose heart blanket. It’s absolutely beautiful! and congrats on sticking with it! I’ve been looking for this pattern for a full year and hoped you might be able to share it with me.
Good morning. I don’t have this pattern in stock but I have found the link to Fiber Trends online and you can purchase there.
