Your Afghan is beautiful. Where can I find the pattern?

[barbielovespinkinca]

nooooo I don't like this stuff

[erayeverett]

Red Heart is great--if you like cuddling with burlap. I Love This Yarn is awesome, as is Eco for soft, washable afghans, and it's only about 50 cents more per skein. DITCH THE CHEAP STUFF WOMAN!

Caron Simply Soft ECO !!!! Love that yarn, and you recycle as you crochet!

[keilair]

i also agree. tlc is a much better yarn than red haert its so soft

[keilair]

i do not know what your talkin about. red heart is my favorite brand. over time the yarn gets softer and i love it. but TLC is better

[shell3202]

I agree, I find TLC (which I think might be a special Red Heart brand) is so soft and crochets up the best afghans.

never very happy with this yarn, made lots of stuff with it ,and it always after a time looks old. other wools stay in good shape. sorry but it is good to let you know . maybe it will get better .thank you .

[kathryn120]

I agree. If you are going to take the time to make a nice Afghan, why make it with crappy yarn? Red Heart may last forever, but it's definitely not cuddly yarn.

Neat, but I really dislike Red Heart; it's very abrasive. :-/

I look forward to your other videos. :-)
