I made a large version of this afghan in red heart super saver a couple years ago. It took a couple (3?) tries to get the first couple wedges right, but after that it did come together pretty quickly. Took me more on the scale of a couple months, because I was buying one skein at a time, and doing a full throw-sized afghan. It's lovely heavy, though! All the best from North Pole Alaska, and hope you've figured out a way to make this pattern work for you after all these years. -- KatiKatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312698112377656801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353746392948535536.post-65869653340258412142009-09-05T12:29:11.276-07:002009-09-05T12:29:11.276-07:00Hi Christine,

You can see my finished product here:<br /><br /><a href="http://cthulhucrochet.blogspot.com/2009/05/pinwheel-complete.html" rel="nofollow">http://cthulhucrochet.blogspot.com/2009/05/pinwheel-complete.html</a><br /><br />It wasn't so bad once I realized that you had to work down the side of one of the stripes, not in a round, like you normally do for round blankets. If you like the blanket I highly recommend giving the pattern a try. It a rather unique design for a baby blanket, and also suitable as a throw for adults, depending what colours you choose.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting,<br />Amberamberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972471077953562082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353746392948535536.post-43227509281204935892009-09-05T11:28:13.450-07:002009-09-05T11:28:13.450-07:00I have the same book and pattern and I have also w...I have the same book and pattern and I have also wanted to make the peppermint afghan, If you would like i can start on it and see how it turns out and let you know how it ends.

Someday I'll sign up, if only so I have another place to look for patterns and ideas, I don't really need another place to show off my own work. <br /><br />I'm resisting the urge to start a pinwheel blanket. I could make it with leftovers from my stash, but I know myself. As soon as the "nice" colours were used up I'd end up buying more colours for the pinwheel and my stash would increase instead of decreasing!amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972471077953562082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353746392948535536.post-15857795470603256382009-04-15T19:58:00.000-07:002009-04-15T19:58:00.000-07:00Are you a member of Ravelry?

I did a search for the book on there, and came up with some results - including a blanket that looks like the peppermint candy one you have there - in different colours, but it looks very similar. Just a thought.<br /><br />As for the pinwheel blanket you featured below - how! That is an awesome blanket! I want to make one myself now :D (Not that I don't have enough projects to finish.)Amy S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02026991676833438536noreply@blogger.com
