The Hudson's Bay Company was founded in Canada in the 1600's and still endures today. With its iconic colours (and its more modern, turn of the new millennium, grey-scale) it's "stripe spotting" branding is known worldwide. For my blanket I opted to use the grey-scale as it fits nicely with the colour scheme I plan to use in my little boys room. The pattern would also look wonderful in the vintage HBC colours! Give it a go!!! If you make one please share a picture; I would love to see it!

This is a quick and fairly easy crochet Afghan pattern. Perfect for the fall this Afghan uses Sport weight yarn and still works up fast! The stitch used is a variation of the waffle stitch / side saddle stitch and I was first introduced to it while crocheting a Christening gown. I think the stitch makes for a really nice texture and drape for a lighter throw. I made a few of these in different color combinations and just love the ombre effect!
