Cathedral Rose Window Afghan




 Cathedral Rose Window Afghan,

This afghan in crochet is a beautiful design created by Julene Watson . It is a stained glass afghan inspired by a church window of Notre Dame at Paris, France. The church is famous for its architecture .One day,

I was looking for some stained glass blocks to make in crochet, and was searching for an interesting ,colourful pattern and I did find some as I was  surfing the net. Amongst many beautiful  creations, my attention was caught by this afghan a huge design made by crocheters! As I explored more, I found it  liberally dotting every inch of my screen space in most imaginative, creative way.I was stunned, and could not take my eyes off it!

Later on I continued with my ongoing crochet pieces at hand, in the back of my mind this image of CRWA lingered on !!

I started studying it, looked into every resource available and dwelled into every crafter's story and her experience of creating it. Certainly this was all very impressive. Massively I was caught in the vortex of the pattern and I smiled to myself!

The pattern was CALLING me!!

I knew I had to try it out.

I went about purchasing the pattern @ Annie's attic . I decided to make it in solids and in hues of red, inspired by other crocheters colours.

Difficulty level was definitely around all the time while working on it. I carried on ...

There is a pattern support stop if the need be at Annie's. I'm thankful for this support whenever needed during creation.

Slowly my piece started taking shape  with decoding the pattern and it helped me in chiselling my crochet skill further.

I'm happy at the end result and I made a smaller version of cathedral rose window afghan.

Better

You become.... 'Behtar' better,

When you aim to... 'weaken your weaknesses and strengthen your strengths'.... 
Deepen diligently your efforts, to experience the ecstasy and the excellence within. 
Embolden your spirits to a new high ... While embarking upon a new path .... All for success ahead.
