FO: Traveling Double Diamonds Tree of Life Baby Throw


I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! It's based on the full size afghan by Nicky Epstein, but I used a seed stitch border instead of the add-on tulip border, ditched the flower garden with its loops for my own awesome cable pattern, the Traveling Double Diamonds which is worked out fabulous and I wrote the dividing pattern that I absolutely love with this!

Ok, I'm tooting my own horn a bit, but I do seriously LOVE this! I think the only thing I would maybe change is add more width and a tad more length; something that can easily be achieved by increasing the seed stitch border. Otherwise, I'm as delighted with the way it turned out as a squirrel finding a nut on a cold day in September

The pattern is free to view, save, print in my Google Doc shared folder. It's an unchecked pattern for right now until either I knit another or someone else knits it. Here's the link to my folder! Btw, if you're bookmarking, bookmark the folder link not the PDF because when I fix errors (hmm hmm) I'll have to upload a new copy and it will get a new URL.

It's posted on Ravelry and my blog ... more pictures at those places.
