John's afghan is done in the ripple stitch. I call it hills and valleys, which fits life in general. It's made with an extremely soft, fuzzy yarn and is oversized.

Grandma Hall had an eye for bright colors. I admired the color scheme in this afghan during a visit. I still remember her placing it in my arms as we left. This afghan stays handy at all times, bringing warmth and comfort and memories of a precious lady who loved to share.

This baby set is done in a shell pattern and will be a lasting treasure for the newborn and mother.
