Jungle Buddies Blanket

I have made this blanket twice before everyone and everyone LOVES it!
And to diane (from 2-2-13, asking how to keep the yarn out of a mess. I make a hand yarn bobbin, also called a butterfly. You can look it up you on you tube video for instructions. It is easy, you'll love it! D

This is my first stab (after years of knitting and crocheting) of doing a big "picture" type project. It's adorable and I love watching it come together. The more I work on it, the more I'm learning. One thing I did learn with this project is "buy a LOT of yarn bobbins!" It'll save your sanity the more bobbins you have! Can't wait to make a second one now that I'm more confident in my ability to do this.

love working on this afgan but is there a trick to not have such a yarn mess? any suggestions on keeping it under control?

I made this blanket for my greatgranddaughter!! I've been crocheting and knitting for years but never tried 'character' crocheting. I had so much fun making it, very clear instructions, everyone loves it, and now that she is 18 months old she points to all the animals and tries to talk with them.. I agree plenty of yarn leftover. I am going to make at least one more... after all I have 9 grandchildren between 16 and 25 so I am starting to 'stock pile' baby afghans in case the old arthritis kicks in.

I usually don't order kits because I am a 'Yarn-a-holic" and have a huge stash. However, I loved this design and was impressed with the beauty and softness of the Starlette yarns that were included. The amounts were generous, and the leftovers add to that previously mentioned stash. My sc sts tend to be a little short, so when I make this design again, I will probably add a few plain color rows at the start and at the finish of chart so it is a little more rectangular. In all, a very satisfying project.

My major concern with this kit was running out of yarn, but there was plenty left over. The pattern and directions were easy to work with, and the quality of yarn was great. It ended up thick and a little heavy which was great for my purposes.

I am currently working on my 2nd one. I am usually hesitant to buy kits as I usually run out of yarn. There was plenty of yarn, some leftover and it is quality stuff, too. I love the Starlette yarn. Vivid colors and very soft. A wonderful design.

I keep getting asked to make this design over and over. Enjoyed working on this and the finished product was lovely. Always get lots of compliments on this and am making my third one for the next baby!
