The holidays are right around the corner. If I had to choose one afghan to make as a gift, it would be Drumlin. Why?
The fluted ridge stitch knits quickly, produces a completely reversible texture and is easy to memorize. These factors make Drumlin a remarkably speedy project: I can complete a compact version in about three to four weeks, which is astonishing since I'm a relatively slow knitter. If want to learn about Drumlin and it's versatility, you'll find more examples here, here and here.
If you simply must start an afghan today, consider Twegen. The look is similar and it too is fast, easy and reversible.
* UPDATE: Holiday Sale!
The Drumlin Reversible Afghan pattern has been released. To celebrate, you can buy Drumlin and buy Twegen at a special holiday price for a limited time. (Remember, you can purchase patterns through Ravelry even if you're not a member.)

ReplyDeleteI love the look of it....but I never have to start an afghan, and I've kind of sworn them off for now...I'm so much more an instant gratification crafter....
