This afghan was started by my mother back in the 70's for my father. There were just squares and skeins of yarn. No pattern. No notes. When I was in NY last year I lay them on the floor to try to figure out the pattern or plan. I had to make a few blocks and fix a few where the yarn wash broken or cut or?
It is an odd shape. Long and skinny. It will be good enough for a lap. I am tying in ends. I have the light color ends all done. I work on this in front of the tv until I get bored with it. It's going a lot faster than I thought. Once I finish tying the ends I will crochet an edge on this. Any crocheters with suggestions?
If you go back one more post you can see that I completed the second afghan UFO of my mother's.
I am linking up with Judy Ls "On the Needles" post. Always lots of yarny goodness to see there.
Your crocheted afghan is super sweet. I always use a crab stitch border (3 or 4 rounds) on my afghans. It goes super fast once you have that first round done. Have fun finishing.
