C'est fini!!
And I'm so very glad!
The finished afghan measures 68" wide by about 72" high. I used Patons Decor in "autumn variegation" colour #1694. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I used this pattern although I think I changed the beginning chain number, probably made it more so the blanket would be wider.
The flash lightened some bits of the afghan in the first photo, but this is a fairly accurate representation of the colours. Very nice.
While I still have three pairs of socks on the go (well, they've been "holding" since I started the afghan) I'm tempted to knit myself a scarf to go with my leather jacket so I will look all stylish and hip when I go to Ottawa for a week at the end of the month. I was thinking Irish Hiking Scarf but with a lighter yarn, even sock weight. I'm just trying to figure out how much I would need, and then if the assortment of Fleece Artist merino sock yarn I have would work.
It's a stat holiday for us federal employees, so the big fella and I are doing our Sunday chores even though it's Monday. But I'll find time to knit, too.
