I do want to take this opportunity to graciously thank my mother-in-law, aka MIL, for helping me get this afghan completed. The lady at work was putting undue pressure on me to get it finished way ahead of schedule, and it was getting to the point that I honestly didn't want to work on it anymore. So, I broke down and asked MIL to help me make some squares. I mean, geez, she's the one who started all this madness by teaching me how to crochet last Thanksgiving! :) Well, I bundled up some orange yarn and sent it her way, and her hook started flying! I really have to give her credit for making well over half of the orange squares. Thank you, MIL, Peggy, Mom . . . I love you and truly appreciate you for all the wonderful things you do.
Anyway, without further ado, here is the finished product, being shown by none other than my daughter, Hunter, and her friend, Kenneth. I told him his picture was going to be posted on the internet, so that's why he's hiding. :)
LOVE IT!!!!! It came out just gorgeous! That woman is soooo lucky to have you do such a great, professional looking job! I've never tried a granny square ghan, you tweaked my curiosity. Kudos Keri!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your kind words, Caroline, as you were the one who set such a high bar with your KSU masterpiece. :) I am proud of the finished product, even though I can't call it "gorgeous", due to the icky orange and black. But, the lady at work was very pleased, so it was worth the effort. On to the red and white one next!
ReplyDeleteHi Keri, I do "Swaps" with the online forum "Crochetville" You have to join(free) and be a member for 30 days before your allowed to do Swaps and some other activities. OU would lend itself to a graph like I did for Austen. I may have to start my duaghter's afghan soon too...she's a junior in HS this year. How interesting that a your daughter is a teacher too. My curtains are up and look great. I've got to remember to get a picture of my entire room.
ReplyDeleteKeri it looks great, who would believe you only learned to hook a year ago. Beautiful job.
ReplyDeleteMy afghan that you commented on well I didn't use another brown I just stopped working on it for now...and it looks like that last section of brown will be 11 instead of 12 rows and then another section of green and then I will go around and make a border. thanks for stopping by..love the new pic of doggies.
Hi Keri! Beautiful job!! The woman who ordered this will LOVE it, I'm sure! I'm still pluggin' away at mine, a little at a time!
ReplyDeleteI was invited to play a little blog game.. nothing too difficult, but I posted it today, and invited you to play along too!.. So stop on over, when you can, and join in if you'd like! Check the rooster and ragdoll events, on my right side bar, if you'd like to join in on those too! ~tina
That looks great. It would have killed me to work with those colors too! lol
