Beautiful! Your sister must be so pleased.

[Celestial Seasonings]

She loves it! She's been very careful to keep it away from her Siamese though. . . he eats sweaters for dinner, and munches on afghans for dessert! I'm actually working on a scarf for her right now to replace one that he "loved" to pieces.

[Swayde]

WOW! That is magnificent, stunning, truly sensational. I really, really love it.

[Sonny321]

Gorgeous! in fact I have an afghan nearly identical to that one on my bed and I love it . I found it at a thrift shop for $10 and HAD to rescue it and give it a loving home. Mine has that long latice fringe on three sides and fits my queen sized bed with plenty overhang on the sides and end. You did a fabulous job on yours!

[Celestial Seasonings]

Thank you!!! I'd love to see a photo of yours if you have one. I really hate seeing afghans in thrift stores and at the goodwill. . . it's so sad They do seem like they need rescuing!

[dogymom]

Oooo, it exquisite!!!! I have that book, too, and wouldn't have dreamed of trying that.

 

Gorgeous job!

[Linda]

Oh my!! What a labor of love for your sister!!!!

[Celestial Seasonings]

Try it! Try it!!! It's way easier than the other aran in there. . . I really prefer afghans that are all one piece. I like being able to see exactly how far I've gone!

[RebeccaVelasquez]

Here it is: (clickable)

 

I took this some time ago, can't take a recent one as My camera batteries have been swiped by one of the boys. Mine is not nearly as detailed as yours though.

 

It has little puff stitches in the center of each diamond pattern that don't show up well in the picture. I've seen some beautiful afghans at the local thrift stores and wish I could rescue them all.

Aran afghans looks so elegant and so complex---one day I want to do one--especially after seeing this beautiful one you did. Fabulous job!

Your afghan's beautiful! It looks much more flexible than mine; I had to wash it a few times before sending it because it practically stood up on its own!!!

[Valerie77]

wow, impressive!! i found an aran afghan pattern in the Red Heart Afghans book and am tempted to try it...seems challenging to me, but what a great payoff!!

[mg6000]

It's gorgeous! Great job Celeste.

[Julie]

Celeste that is gorgeous!!

[goldi316]

That is one AWESOME afghan, Celeste - GREAT job!

 

I recently picked up the Herrschners Blue Ribbon Afghans book, and have been drooling and pondering over several patterns in that one. I can feel an afghan coming in my future soon, lol! One of these days I'll be brave enough to tackle an aran. They are truly stunning works of art. Your sister must be so thrilled to have received such a wonderful gift from you! I know I would be!

[winstongang]

Wow, thats fantastic!

[vernzap]

What a pretty afghan! I'm going to have to order that pattern book. There seem to be several pretty afghans in it. Now I know what I'll be doing after Christmas!

 

Great job Celeste! :clap:clap

[newfiegal]

[Merlot]
