Congrats! I'm envious of your progress - especially since I have to have mine finished by the 16th.

My goal is to finish the entire thing over the weekend - we'll have to see if that actually comes to pass.

Nadine - Congrats on finishing your afghan!

I just stopped by to say that I will be finishing mine today.

Oh yes I will.

No, reallyl, I mean it this time.

I have to finish it because it must be shipped tomorrow for the momma-to-be's baby shower. I've started round 2 of the border so I don't think I'll have much of a problem completing it. Keep your fingers crossed I don't run out of yarn!

Looks wonderful, Nadine! Great job!!

I am so close to finishing mine...on round 6 of the border. Must finish it tonight so I can mail it out for the baby shower.

[OnHooksandNeedles]

Done and done!!

I ended up not doing round 10 of the border. I liked how the sc looked on its own - and I ran out of time. I was weaving in the last little bits of yarn this morning before clicking some photos and wrapping it up - all in time to make it to the train.

The blanket is now on its way out to California. The photos are on my camera at home. Hopefully I'll post them tonight or tomorrow.

Yay! Yay! Yay! I'm just so happy to be done with it!!!

Photos of the completed blanket!

They aren't the best photos because I took them at 6:30 this morning when the lighting was bad and I was caffeine deficient.

woohooo!! way to go! glad to hear it is on its way to ca.

 

any suggestion on what color i should make my next one in?

Bernat has some really pretty baby yarns (Softee and Coordinates). I also saw some great pastel colors by Lion Brand with their Cotton-Ease line.

Maybe you could make a yellow or purple one? Or perhaps white? Or maybe go with a bold color, like navy blue or forest green?

I finally got this one done after months of taking it to the laundrymat with me. I will have to upload pix on Photobucket and then post a couple. It turned out pretty good I think.

May I join you? I'm making an Afghan of the Sandman in solid red, to use as a bedspread for my 2 year old son's fire truck toddler bed.

Ok so I started this for hubby but I needed to make it huge for our bed so thereforeI had to chain 545 so I have a lot of work ahead of me. I have 5/92 rows done. I am also doing them in stripes so when I finish the sixth row I am going to switch to black for 6 rows.
