    Thanks to stitch and unwind.com I found your beautiful afghan and can’t wait to make it. I’ve been looking for 2 years for the perfect wedding gift for my 2nd cousin and you just handed it to me. Thank you so very much! It’s definitely going to pull at our Irish roots, including her husband’s. Can’t wait to make it. Thank you again!

    Gorgeous afghan pattern. UNFORTUNATELY I do not crochet and am not subscribed to the crochet portion of Stitch and Unwind. I never receive the knitting portion any more and am about to unsubscribe to it. Certainly would love to see this afghan in a knit format.

    Question about the fringe and tying the second row. How do exactly tie row securely? Do you take the three strands from the middle or sides and how are they tied?
    Thank you.
