Julie - Please take the Greenbrier off my list of BS.

Sorry ladies. I've reached the point where I hate it. It's getting frogged tonight. I just can't stand it.

Ok...

 

After discussing this with Wanda (lhasaapsolady) I don't feel so bad posting this.

 

I got an email this morning that the yarn I ordered (the sage) is on backorder with really no reorder date in sight. That was really depressing because I really like that sage, I have never found another sage I was happy with. I have three skiens of that yarn, no where near enough yarn to complete the project.

 

Well, about two years ago I started making a rather large afghan for my mother who was about to visit. I never finished it because when she got here she said she didn't want it because it had "holes". I had bought at the time more than enough yarn to finish the project, but just lost interest and it became my oldest UFO.

 

Guess what color that was? It was that sage! I love that color so much I decided to use it for my bedspread for this CAL - that is until I tried to order more for this CAL. Are you following me so far?

 

Ok, so I get this news this morning ... I decided to pull out this UFO afghan, actually thinking I will just FROG it and use that yarn to make my new bedspread ... when I took it out, I had FORGOTTEN how really pretty it was and I laid it on my bed to see what it would look like.

 

Um, folks ... I am in LOVE with this afghan ... I want it as my bedspread.

 

Is that cheating? Can I just FINISH this one and call it a day?

 

Please?

Glad to hear you got good news from your Dr. That is always such a feeling of relief, walking out the doctor's office, with a good report .

 

And yep, I'll go in and take off the Greenbriar from your list- no big deal ! You don't have to keep doing it if you are not enjoying it .

 

Knic- Of course, you can use that pattern. It is beautiful ! How far done would you say you are ? Is it about halfway or what ? It is very pretty ..

I'm glad you got your Sage dilemma solved ! You now have all the color you need and a bedspread with a real good start to it . :)

 

Athba- I'll go in and add your 2 new afghans to the list and remove your first one since it is done .

Wow...:eek

 

That is pretty Knic...very pretty and i don't see a problem with you doing that one if the others don't...that is gorgeous and i would love to know what the pattern is.

 

The pattern came from a book my friend has, I will have to get it for you. I have the pattern written down what I had to do to finish it.

Oh gosh, holes! That really got to me when she said that. I searched high and low for a pattern that would be big enough yet LIGHT enough because she has had a stroke. No such luck! I only have about a foot left to finish, maybe a bit more to make it more of a bedspread than an afghan.

 

Thanks to both of you for making me feel better about it.

Ah thanks thread moderator! I feel better now that you chimed in!

 

I am more than half way done with it, maybe about a foot or two more.

 

I am thinking about buying a really light mauve comforter to put under it and then I will have both my colors I want...what do you all think?
