Fringes On Afghans?
Hi everyone:
I am "finally" on my last steps of my daughters shades of blue afghan. She has requested that I put fringes on the points across either end. I'd be interested to have some input as to how long I should make those fringes. I personally don't like them on an afghan but she insists. (they bug my face when I'm sleeping lol)! TIA Donna from Ontario, Canada |

Well why don't you ask your daughter how long she wants the fringe, seeing
that it will be her afghan. I myself don't like the fringe, unless on a scarf. but did a search, and found this pillow that had 6" fringe: http://www.thesmartyarns.com/Begknitpillow.html Good luck...

Hi Donna,
I have to agree with Rose to ask your daughter the lenght she wants. Congratulations on getting that close to finishing it. Hugs, Nora |

I assume since it has "points" across either end it isn't a flat rectangle
all the way around. Why don't you put some kind of tassles in each point? Or just take a few strands of yarn, (length and number of strands depending on how you want it to look,) and just knot them in the points like you would do with regular fringe? Gather up, say, 5 to 10 strands of yarn cut to about 10 to 15 inches long, fold them in half, and fringe the tips of the points just as you would do for regular fringe, except you're using more strands of yarn in each fringe. Sorry - sometimes I don't explain very well. :-/ - Lynne D. "Brian D" wrote in message ... Hi everyone: I am "finally" on my last steps of my daughters shades of blue afghan.
