My Shetland Tweed afghan is now complete!
And has been officially entered into the Vanna's Choice Contest.
I started this in December and I listed the pattern and other details in earlier posts which can be found HERE and HERE.
I had a couple of stalls...
once when I ran out of yarn...
and the other,...
at the end of the project,...
weaving in row after row of ends.
But, all those ends are worth it...
in the...end.
I chose to do a braided border.
I thought the curve of the braid softened the lines of the blanket
and pulled out the darker colors.
I'm going to tuck it away...
and hope.
I want to keep it looking
"fresh off the hook."
Next project?
I don't know yet.
But, I'm sure it won't be long
before I have hook and yarn in hand.
:-)
Happy crocheting!

ReplyDeleteI've been checking out so many new craft ideas, I haven't really settled on a few projects to do over this winter. So today I'm going to pick 2-3 projects that I hope to finish before winter is done, and hopefully not get side tracked learning tons of new, different crafts. We'll see how it goes. :)
I can't wait to see what you start up.
It's beautiful! I hope it wins--will keep my fingers crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteThe border is stunning. Don't think I've ever seen it before. I'll have to do a search and see if I can find it--
