Stitches of Silver Afghan

About the Pattern: I love the classic, heirloom look and elegance of this lattice cable texture. The sample afghan was made as a gift for a friend’s wedding. “Stitches of Silver” is a play on words of the quotable Bible verse: Proverbs 25:11 – “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.”
