Here's a closeup of the pattern stitch:
I will have to take some better photos for y'all, because I really love this afghan to pieces (hopefully not literally). I'm going to write up the pattern ASAP and make it available, but be warned: it requires both knit and crochet skills. The brown sections are crocheted, the beige are knit. The really great thing about this design (she says, patting herself on the back) is that it's so easily memorized and so portable while you're making the strips, so you can take it anywhere and do it while doing other things, like watching TV or chatting with friends. Then you assemble it all with crochet, which to me is easy. And it looks perfect on my couch! Next time I'm home during the daytime I'll take some indoor shots so you can see what I mean. (Don't like beige and brown? Imagine it in blue and black! Or pink and purple! Or cream and dark green!)Go me :-)

Indeed! Yay, you!
WOW!!! I am seriously impressed! It looks fantastic. What a great job, I can't wait for the pattern so I can make one for PRR. And if it's made from Red Heart I doubt you need to worry about loving it to pieces. Undoubtedly, it will survive the next apocalypse.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
Very pretty - you deserve to pat yourself on the back! I can't wait to see the pattern; I'd love to make one (maybe even two)!
