Afghan for my Sister

[Seneca and Scooch]

Here is a picture of the afghan that I made for my Sister and her Husband for Christmas. I made a mistake on the fringe and ended up having to weave all of those ends in. In the picture it looks a little wonky but it lays flat.

Wow! That is gorgeous! How many hours did that take you?!!

[sjkmaurice]

That's lovely. How did you make the 3-D? Is it cables or bobbles?

[Seneca and Scooch]

Thank-you so much for the nice compliments. It is all done in sc and dropped dc, except the halos are popcorn stitches. It self fringes, start at the right, complete a row and then cut the yarn and then start back at the right. I almost gave up on getting it done but at the last minute I was determined and went on a crocheting marathon. I've been working on it for a couple of months now but since I started it we moved so it wasn't steady work.

 

The pattern is called Angels Everywhere from Shady Lane.
