This is a double-sided afghan in school colors (bright lavender/gold) personalized for my grandson. It turned out large enough and warm enough for his dorm room! I find creating names (letters) is easier using double- sided knitting. I found the letters and instructions at deborahsknitting.com and theknittingsite.com as the best places for inspiration, helpful tools, and instructions for creating letters. The model used in this afghan is most like deborahsknitting.com. I will be sharing one soon that is more in line with the examples from knittingsite.com using Intarsia for the letters.
I use the paper from both theknittingsite.com and laylock.org to create my “name” to knit. Ladies, thank you for sharing your expertise-I am forever grateful.
