We are all going to finish what we have started and possibly try a 2nd version but then the CAL will end.  Some CALs are never-ending but this one will complete.

[judianne]

I'll be doing at least one more....

:sheepjump

 

I finished it!!!

I'll get a pic tomorrow. 

 

Somehow my final rounds got tight so it bulges a bit in the middle

 

It will be nice for a gentleman this fall and winter.

[judianne]

Yay, Darski!

 

And my tension was off recently when I made fingerless mitts for a friend. I made the second glove when I was sitting in one room with two dogs, hubby and lots of noise around while the kitchen was being painted, etc. it was a tad tighter than the other...lol! My friend didn't care. They still fit!

[darski]

I did manage a pic.  there is the full size one and then I took just a quarter in one to show it better.

 

 

It is striking if not beautiful

 

 

 

[judianne]

I love it!!!!!! You made it sound....well, you definitely underestimate your work!!!!!!

[Avon Lady]

Darski, that's bright and beautiful!!  

[greyhoundgrandma]

Very bright and cheery, darski! I know its new owner will love it!

[darski]

thank you all.  I admit to its being bright.

 

I have been thinking about trying black/white/red to see if it could be done.  Would be interesting.

I think that would look good. I had been thinking that  my next one would be 3-4 colors.

Looks great Darski!  I only have 2 or 3 rows to go!  I'll be glad to move on to something else!

I know how you feel.  One forgets what it is like to do those long final rounds.

 

I'm finding it hard to find my next project

[katyallen815]

just peeking in to see some pics, and i must say, they are turning out great ladies, nicejob....I didn't do  one, just a bit too, ambitious for me, right now anyway, maybe someday, but just had to drop in to say they all so far, look great!

Thank you for you kind words.  It is a wonderful - if demanding - pattern.  I am tempted to try another sampler just on my own.

Here's the 42 inch round ripple I made. I embroidered the baby's name on it, too, and used light baby yarn, not WW.

[greyhoundgrandma]

Pretty! Nice touch adding the name

[darski]

I love that.  there is just something about baby boy things; not to mention baby boys

[judianne]

Thanks, Mona and Darski. It was DHs idea several baby ghans ago to personalize them. If I don't have a name or the design makes adding one awkward, I embroider a heart on it.

 

Darski, you would not believe how many baby boy ghans I have made over the past few years! I think they're taking over...lol!

 

Now I'm sitting with homespun in my lap, making a super easy(aka, quick) comfortghan.

[kittyloverdeb]

Finally finished it a few days ago.  Took some pictures so I just need to post them! 

[kittyloverdeb]

Tried to get pictures without a kitty but that is]near to impossible in this house!  

 

 

 

 

 

[greyhoundgrandma]

Pretty--I like your colors, Deb!

[babypoohsmom]

Nice job Deb. Love your 'gahn and your cat!!

[judianne]

Great work, Deb! I guess it belongs to kitty now??

[darski]

very nice.  Cats take all the best stuff.
