Knit a waffle weave afghan

by Shirlee Cornwell

I have been doing miniatures for about 35 years now. I love the hobby because it gives me a chance to create as well as to meet new and interesting people. I have made so many friends through miniatures and I hope to make many more.

This is an easy piece to knit and will add a touch of realism to any miniature scene.
