I posted this picture of the WIP sage green afghan in August. This week I finally finished this monster. Don't get me wrong. It's beautiful, soft and warm. I am so pleased with it. BUT, I had to wait for cold weather to stand having it on my lap
as I knit it. I knit it on chunky size 15 needles to accommodate the lofty handspun merino I plied with sewing thread. 
I had a jillion skeins of it, so an afghan seemed indicated. Guess what, I still have a huge skein and 1/2 skein left. Geez!
We are having a doozy of a frigid cold winter here in Dallas so now I have a new cover for those naps on the couch in front of the fire. I might even let Trinket share.

It's absolutely GORGEOUS. I can only imagine how soft and cozy it is. Is this Adele's pattern?
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Kay! Looks like it is finished just in time for the cold weather too.
ReplyDeleteT-Sun: Thanks. Yep, it is trusty Adele adapted to afghan status.
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous color, Kay - you must have been spinning for a long time to get all that yarn! I love how it looks posed by your Lamb's Ears!
