The end of the Orange Blues

[forines13]

Finished the edge of this early this morning. I decided to crab stitch the edge. The afghan measures 63X 57 inches. Now that it is completed I will deliver its new owner. Although I made this afghan in colours I usually do not work with, I quite like the result.

That is absolutely StRIKING! I would NEVER have put those together, but they are beautiful as a results. Which brands/colors of yarn did you use?

[theworm]

Oh yes! I wouldn't think of that color combination, but it's just beautiful!

[ChainOFools]

Gorgeous afghan! I love the way the colours look together!

Krystal, as I live in Australia (up in the north) I have always bought yarn that has never identified the name of the colour. I presume the stores work with codes and dyelots to order their stock. All I can tell you is that it is all acrylic yarn. These are the colours I used:

 

• steel smokey blue
  
• darker shade of steel blue
  
• Orange - ... has more a red tinge than a yellow
  
• lilac
  
• Jade blue
  
• deep yellow buttercup
  
• a variegated in lilac, peach and blue/violet shades
  
• Moss green

the smaller motifs in the centre also have a teal blue as these were left over from another project and I decided to include these in this afghan.

The colour combination is odd but it seems to work.

Ines, you did a spectacular job with that afghan! What kind of edging is that? You ought to enter it in a fair, if they do that sort of thing in Australia.

[Ladycrochat]

My Goodness! That is a stunning afghan.....you did an incredible job!

[artemis]

That is a work of art, Forines13!

I particularly love the outer border that looks like polka dots. I also like the way you used different sized squares...I tend to just do the same size and it turns out dull. You have a lot of artistic talent as well as craftsmanship.

Thank you for sharing!
