It. Is. Finished.
The border went pretty smoothly once I got it going. I worked a bit on it each night last week.
When I went to update its Ravelry page, I discovered something funny. I began the project on January 7th. I completed it on March 7th. Two months exactly.
I'm happy with this one. If I got cold often enough, I might be tempted to make one for myself. But, I would rarely use it. This one was always meant as a birthday present, belated as her birthday was in January. (But she's watched me make it, so she knew it was coming.)
And now that this is done, it's time to get back to that dragon swatch that I have to redo. Or perhaps something else interesting will pop up. We shall see.
The blue afghan in blog posts:
It looks great! It's pretty and it looks so cozy.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It is.
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteIt came out nice! I'm sure she'll love it!
ReplyDeleteShe will love it, hope she's in a colder clime than you are.
ReplyDeleteShe's not. (They live 15ish miles from me.) But she runs cold, which is why she requested the afghan when she got to touch the dragon one I did last year.
DeleteI love the colors and it looks so soft and comfy. Now if you moved to where I live, you'd get a lot of use out of it.
ReplyDeleteThat I would.
DeleteWell done! And it will only be a little late.
ReplyDeleteShe made the request in early January. Her birthday is mid-January. It wasn't going to be on time.
DeleteI love that blue color.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteSuch an awesome color! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of two months time...nice job for sure. Don't think I have ever known you to do an afghan. You usually do things more complicated. Me...I do the simple afghans...lol
ReplyDeleteI did that dragon one that I finished up in December. But you're right, I don't generally do afghans. Not for any other reason than I don't really need one. Not that I'm opposed to them.
DeleteWell done, it looks so cozy and soft! Maybe for you, just a smaller one for the feet? ;)
ReplyDeleteIt turned out nicely. I like the white border.
ReplyDeleteThanks. (The border is gray, though.)
DeleteHi Liz - that looks brilliant - well done and I bet the recipient was/is delighted ... clever and cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteYou are a professional! The border looks great and detailed, to my eye. She will love it
ReplyDeleteShe does. She's been using it for more than a week now.
