Embossed Diamonds Afghan - Free Knitting Pattern

Categories: Free Knitting Patterns   Afghans   lace afghans  

I knitted my Embossed Diamonds afghan in the colors of light reflecting off the sand at the beach, in oatmeal-colored superfine geelong lambswool I plied with undyed light brown cashmere on my spinning wheel. The back of the afghan looks to me like the patterns imprinted by the rain in the sand. The front reminds me of the patterns the tide divides into as the water thins and fans out over the beach–making me want to knit it again in shades of ocean blue, with perhaps a deeper k1p1 ribbing at the edges. It has even renamed itself already for it: Tidewater–and for a moment, the Chesapeake Bay reminds me that I have let the tides of life pull me far away. I lift the last of the yarn from the dyebath for it and it is ready to go.
