This afghan (catghan) was made for my niece's daughter who is now 14 years old; so it's been around awhile. This was her baby ghan, made with good old Red Heart Yarn and crocheted from mostly granny squares. I wanted to put eyes and wiskers on at the time, I remember...but, didn't want anything she might put in her mouth and choke on so it remained a little bland. It needed a little repair. Not bad after all this time and many washings. Still looks pretty good. Definitely a testimony to the durability of Red Heart Yarn....acrylic washable yarn.Just joined a meme (WIPW), fun idea. This was a work in progress in terms of the repair, so I'm counting it here.

That is SO CUTE Sandy! ~tina
It is adorable! Who did you make it for? I'm drawing a blank...duh!
ooh that is so cute, the cat looks lovely- hope the repairs go well xxx
It is lovely. Really eye catching. Crochet is something I have always wanted to do but have never quite managed it.
It is amazing how RH stands the test of time. I love this blanket! Thanks again for joining WIPW!
Thanks for giving out the Red Heart love. I like natural fibers as much as the next gal, but I'm a firm believer that, for some projects, acrylic is just a peachy choice. Look how well it's held up! Adorable, too!!
That's just adorable! It sure has held up well!
Thanks all for the nice words, appreciate your visits.
what a great blankie!
That blanket is adorable. I'm always glad to hear about baby gifts that become treasured like this one did.
What a great looking blanket. The cat detail is adorable. It's in wonderful condition, too. Definitely a testament to the crocheter as well as the yarn.
Hello Sandy! Thanks for warming my heart with your kind words and dropping by again to see me. I do appreciate!
I love this afghan, it's really really beautiful, cute idea!!!
Have a fabulous day!

What a nice thing to do! And it's adorable, too. :)
How awesome that the catghan has made it through a whole childhood -- and even more awesome that she still loves it enough to bring it around for repair! Also, welcome to WIPW!
That is such a cute blanket! I think blankets make the best baby gift and they do last (and are loved) well beyond the baby years!!
