I am making these in different colors for the women in the next generation.
This shipment of yarn did NOT include a printout of the pattern for me to bundle with the gift.
Fortunately, I still have my first printout, together with my notes. This pattern can be confusing, even the third time through, and I’m doing a lot of tinking (unknitting). Also, the chart has at least one error. But it is worth the challenge as it comes out beautiful! Photo is of one I just completed, the second in the series.
Hello Gina - what a beautiful afghan! As you've noticed, we are no longer including printed patterns in orders, but the Tree of Life pattern is free to download from lionbrand.com at any time. If you believe you've found an error in the pattern please contact us at [email protected] so we can review and make changes if necessary.
I just started my second Tree of Life Afghan, not counting the smaller version baby blanket. The first project was just about ten years ago, and I am SO glad I kept my notes, because they came in handy! Some of the directions were confusing, but I'm glad I persisted after several bouts of "tinking," (a new term taken from another reviewer. :)) So this was probably not the best choice for a project after several years of not knitting, but, eh, when it's announced that your first grandchild is on the way, what are you gonna do? I think this afghan pattern will be repeated several times.
made this afghan years ago, it was challenging at first, but well worth it. the young girl dragged this afghan with her everywhere she went. I have been called and asked to come over and do repairs. It was well worth the knitting project, I'm so happy she uses it every day. Her mom informed me that she sits by the washing machine when it needs a washing.
This pattern is beautiful! I made this years ago, and only have the main panel done. I decided to make a queen bedspread as the panel as the center. I will then finish the leaf border around the whole thing. It will be warm and elegant on the bed!
challenging at first, but worth every stitching moment... i love a challenge that will have such a beautiful and elegant outcome... kudos to all who make this masterpiece. I have made 10 of them and continue my mission to make more...lol
This pattern makes a very pretty afghan that I'm knitting as a wedding gift for a friend. My only reservation with it is that the leaves on the flowers throughout the pattern are created by literally pulling a long loop of yard out of a previous row and looping it around your current stitch. This has caused those rows to bunch up because now they have less yarn in them than the rows around them. It's left my afghan slightly warped. This is a strange design decision that I've never seen before.
