Name That Afghan… and the Winner is

June 29, 2012 by Michael Sellick

Garden Gate AfghanI was blown away by the 117 comments that were posted to help me name my new afghan. I wrote this pattern only 2 weeks ago and it only took me four days to make this.

When deciding video and pattern names, I like to think of simplicity, creativity and uniqueness.

 

Questions I ask myself:
Will people be able to spell the names without much trouble?
Is the name catchy enough for people to be curious about the design?
Can the viewer to develop their own interpretation what the pattern and name means to them?

The winner of Name This Afghan Design is Alice VonBosse with “Garden Gate Afghan.”

The video has been changed Garden Gate Afghan Tutorial. You can get a copy of this free written pattern on my website.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a name, it was a very difficult choice as there were so many outside-of-the-box names for this afghan. I will have another design soon.

See you next Wednesday!
