Here is an Afghan crocheted using Chenille Yarn. Pattern from the Lion Brand website. It was pleasing to work with and when done, had a plush and royal look and feel to it. It saw many cuddles shared with my girls during their toddler/preschooler days, reading children's books together or watching movies. Those little fingers sometimes poking through the tiny spaces in the afghan. Fascinating how kids can make a play out of just about anything and entertain themselves. Reminds me also of my mother-in-law on the rocker sofa comfortably wrapped in this afghan watching her favorite shows on TV. It was wonderful when in use. But, just like how those days are gone, all that remains of this afghan are cherished memories of some well lived moments. I found that this yarn shed a lot! It began to thin out, and eventually was reduced to fine thread in places. There came a time to say bye-bye. I have not used Chenille after that in any of the projects. Still have a skein of this yarn in my stash. Maybe I should try making something out of it now.
The chair in the picture is a very old one that my dear husband had picked up from a yard sale back when we had not found each other yet. It was renewed by sanding, applying a couple of coats of white paint and embellished with some free-hand designs, by yours truly.
