Several years ago, when I was transitioning from a stay at home Mom to a working Mom, I thought that in future years I wasn’t going to have as much time to craft for the holidays.  I wanted to make “one more” big handmade gift, not realizing that I just can’t give up making things for loved ones even when it’s a serious time crunch.  I crocheted seven American flag afghans for friends and family, partially during the time I was studying for my real estate license and setting up shop with my broker.  Insane, but ADHD can take you far once you get the hang of it.  :)

I still love going to visit and seeing flag afghans thrown over familiar couches.  What a shame I didn’t find time to make one for us!

This pattern was from Lion Brand yarn and I’d have linked it up, but they make you sign in to see patterns.  Feel free to dig for it on their site here if you like!
