Crochet Along: Finished Blanket Photos

[Shandeh]

This is my first Mystery afghan and I am a novice crocheter.This is my finished afghan. I learned so much. I tried things I did not think I could do. I enjoyed the process tremendously. I am disappointed in the out come,but I really enjoyed the experience. Thank you.

This is gorgeous work for a beginner! I'm amazed!

Yeah! I have finally finished my afghan and I love it!

Oooo....I love it too!

I am so inspired by everyone's afghans and creativity! They turned out so beautiful. Early on I was very inspired by daverett!! His design kept me trying to work the color out. I decided to just do the 2 colors. I love to crochet and it is amazing what can be made..I learned a lot with this pattern and appreciate the charts, written instructions and videos...Thanks Bernat and Shandeh!!!

Here is mine..I just finished it. Today is a sunny day in Oregon, so I took the picture outside. Caramel the pug supported me through the whole process!

I used Waverly 'Willow' and Bernat Mosiac 'Fantasy' (this afghan is for my Mom) I would love to make another with my favorite color 'Breath of Blue' and the 'Fantasy'....(the mosiac yarn is my favorite for now and I have made lots of hats! )

Clue # 6 was my favorite!!! Janet

I just love seeing the Bernat Mosaic in the blanket. So beautiful!

Here is my finished afghan. I really enjoyed this CAL! I love looking at all the color combinations and different ways each one has arranged the blocks... I'll be back for the next one. This was my second CAL!

Wow! What a gorgeous, rich-looking blanket!

I made all the blocks as described in the clues but didn't really like the final layout so I remade some of the blocks, got rid of one color and one pattern totally and put it together in this rectangle with a couple additional rows of border. Yes, I ran out of the dark blue yarn about 90% of the way through the last border row but I decided to post my pic anyway. I loved making the "squares" and learning new stitches.
Looking forward to the next CAL. ☺

Congratulations on finishing your blanket! Nice work!

Here's my finished afghan... I didn't "get the memo" for the suggested color choices in each color way, so I used tjwjlove's layout (thank you!!) I'm pretty happy with it now...

What a beautiful blanket!

how do I download my picture
(Moderator Shandeh added photo later)

Nice work, Darddee! I'm glad we were able to get your photo posted, so you could make the deadline for contest entry.

I finished my blanket a while ago with the border as given in the clue. I have since added to it. I am sooooo impressed with what everyone has done. I love scrolling through and looking at all the finished blankets. The talent and creativity here is unbelievable.

I love that border!

Here's my finished afghan.

Very nice! The red is lovely!

funny... I noticed i took the photo of the afghans wrong side, so hear is the wright side...

I love this photo! What a great blanket. And the next photo is so precious....what a sweet little baby!

Can I still post to the flickr finished photos? and how do I do that?
I love the different octagons on this blanket, and I really enjoyed making this blanket. Can't wait for the next one!

Your blanket looks wonderful! I've already added it to the Finished Photos area.

Finally Finished. My grandma loves it! Maybe something more "young" next time? I had fun though!

I love it too!

Oh, Charlene; I love how your blanket came out with the various shades of pink. The varigated yarn that you used for the squares really make your flowers stand out. Great job!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE IT AS WELL.

Where do I go to see all finished blankets for the CAL? I'm new to this LOL

[BigMamaChar]

If you haven't already noticed, I created a separate post, which has all the photos of completed CAL blankets. No comments can be made to that thread. This makes it easy to see all the blankets.

Enjoy!

Thank you, I see them now.

I have to say that I wasn't happy with this afghan. I did learn new stitches but didn't like the end shape of the afghan (It would have been better if we had additional motifs to "square" off the shape). I thought it was too short and the border needs more rows - I did like the break we had though to give us time to "catch up".

I like your final afghan. I agree about filling the edging. I used the square pattern but made triangles. If you are still interested in filling yours, shadesofred made a pattern to fill in the octagon spaces. It looked great.

Good luck
