Maybe there is something to this whole "setting personal goal" thing.
The squares have been put together. There was some planning involved. How to attach and with what color. I tried to make sure that light and dark squares alternated.
Now if only the weather would cooperate, allowing me to snuggle under this beauty!
Happy Whippin it out Wednesday everyone!

Oooooh! That looks fabulous! Now, don't you feel better that it's done? What's the next thing on the list??
PS- I don't think I'll be starting the beekeepers quilt, but I have been busy with another blanket :)

I'm coming for a visit... if after I leave, that particular blanket is missing... ummmm, check with your sister - I'm sure she'll be the one to have nicked it... not me, that's for sure.

WOW is right! Andi, this is a compositional masterpiece; what a great arrangement of colors, textures, and patterns. And this is such a fun afghan - a nice reminded of all of your swap partners.
Happy snuggling . . . Linda

That blanket is beautiful! Love it in grey!

I just wondered, since I am new to your blog, how you set it up to get squares of the same color range from people all over the world? That is just awesome. I would like to do a project like that for some elderly people I know.
Who did you arrange it through etc? I belong to a few knitting, crocheting sites myself..ravelry, etsy, knitters paradise, allfreecrochet....
The afghan is just beautiful! I am more of a crocheter then knitter- haven't knitted an afghan yet but I have several crocheted afghans on the burner. Been looking for more unique square patterns since I am way past the old simple granny square.
Would love to hear how you started this.
Jana
please e-mail me with the information if you can. I think my e-mail shows in here to you only.
:-)
love your blog btw...

Oh my gosh! That is just fantastic!
Posted by: Carole | 09/08/2011 at 11:49 AM
Wow, that looks amazing! Did you make up the squares on your own or did you follow a pattern. I know how to crochet basics but would love to learn to figure out stitches. Can you tell me where I can get the pattern or if it's something you created, is it for sale?
thanks,
Maria

I would pay you to make one of these for me just like this one.

Hi,
I was wondering if you have a pattern for the squares in this afghan?? I had shared this picture of your afghan on my pinterest page and a couple of people are very interested in making it including myself. It is really gorgeous just the way it is colorwise. :)
Please help if you can,
Pam Sherry
