Great Lengths Afghan Reviewed by Donna Mahoney on 2010-02-20
One of 3 beautiful afghans I made last year, and would make it again in a flash! My daughter loves the colours. A more modern looking crocheted afghan, it is a real hit! Thanks again Lion Brand!
Will send pix of all 3. (see my review of Five-Panel Throw)
