I meant to post this earlier, but got busy with other things, so I am going to post it now. I found a pattern for a Crocheted Candy Cane Afghan over at Free Vintage Crochet. I think this would make a nice gift for someone who "has everything". The pattern calls for CHADWICK'S RED HEART KNITTING WORSTED, 4 Ply, White and Pink and a Plastic Crochet Hook, No 5. You crochet 160 Motifs and then sew them together, so it would make a great carry along project. Happy Crocheting!!
