Life in the Slow Lane
This cozy throw was designed with adventure in mind. The chevron stripes represent winding roads and meandering streams; the chevron peaks represent mountains and hills; and the lines of cable represent native plants and trees. This blanket will live in our RV, as we embark on our next big adventure!

My pom poms were 5 grams each. If you want to add pom poms to your afghan, then buy an extra skein or two of yarn. You probably should ;-)
