Now Tami has generously allowed me to share what Great Aunt Ernestine called her 'Wobble Blanket' with all of you! I'm so honored! So taking the bull by the horns, studying the photo, and playing with some yarn, I was able to decipher the pattern. I miss her dearly!Īnd this is where I came in! Tami and I both searched and searched, but were unable to find a pattern that looked exactly like her photo. But, I failed to journal this one.It was wonderful times. After the granny squares, I realized she was declining, so I wrote down the patterns for the last two. I was a novice, but she told me every step to take. An Apache Tears, a Navajo afghan, some granny squares, a granny stripe, and of course, this one! This was the second one, with the granny stripe being the first. So, I thought it would be a great way to keep her mind focused, if she could recite the patterns from her head, and walk me thru making them.

She said 'Yes!, Right up here!' and pointed to her temple. In fact, she did all kinds of crafts! Anyway, her arthritis in her hands would not let her work with yarn any longer, and I was bragging about her afghans, and asked if she had the patterns for them. My Great Aunt Ernestine was 95, and I was staying with her at night, so she could remain in her home. It was an afghan pattern her Great Aunt Ernestine had made - but like many of her generation, she never wrote it down! I'll let Tami tell you the story: This One Has a Back Story!Ī little while ago, Tami Lemons posted an intriguing photo and request on the Moogly Facebook page. Red Heart & Furls provided the materials for this pattern.

The Vintage Wobble Afghan is an old, almost lost stitch pattern, rescued and re-interpreted for today!ĭisclaimer: This post includes affiliate links. It's finally here, my 100th pattern! And this is a very special one, as it comes with a story.
