It took just two weeks of dedicated crocheting to finish this afghan! Now Hammie can stop hounding me for an updated picture
I battled with a migraine on Friday and Saturday and that slowed me down tremendously. I’m feeling a bit better today though and I was able to finish the afghan in the wee hours of this morning.
Try as I might, I couldn’t get a picture of the entire thing. This one was taken on my bed with me standing on a folding chair above it, with my camera all the way to the friggin’ ceiling. You get the idea though I’m sure.
The pattern was pleasingly accurate on yarn specs. I didn’t use quite as much as the pattern called for, but it was really close. Three of the six yarns called for I got from my stash, so that made me doubly happy because I really do want to use up some of this yarn!
Now that I’m finally allowing myself to work on something else, I can’t decide what to work on! I’ve got three or four projects that are in progress and I don’t know if I want to work on those or start something new. Sigh…decisions, decisions!

P.S. I’m using the pattern again, but I’m changing the way it’s joined a little. Just enough variation to keep me from becoming suicidal. lol

wow, that is really pretty - i love the pattern, where can i find it? i finally finished an afghan i made for my daughter, isn’t it a great feeling? and isn’t it funny that we can’t wait to finish the project we’re on so we can start another and then can’t decide what do to once we’re freed up? i too had extra yarn from my daughters afghan so i’ve decided to use the colors and make my MIL a lap blanket - her living room is the same color scheme as my daughters bedroom - gotta love that! take care,
