Two more lovely finished KAL! Different motif arrangements and both so pretty.
Nitwit's is the blanket with the blue and pink colors.
Her friend Vicky knitted the green/rust tone blanket.
Per Nitwit,"The KAL has been so much fun. Hope they run it again next year. A great way to put in the winter months."
Thanks for sharing your photos with everyone!

Both afghans are just beautiful! Nice work KALers!

The KAL yielded a much nicer, more attractive blanket than the CAL. These knitted blankets you've all made are beautiful!

I agree with this comment. I wandered over from the CAL to see what the KAL looked like. I like my CAL blanket ok. It was fun doing it, and especially since I was really working sometimes to keep up with the clues. I found the border of the CAL disappointing and now I'm trying to work up a real border for it that works.

I wish I knew how to knit. Well... I mean I do, but it's SO TIME CONSUMING compared to my speed at crochet.. so I get frustrated and pick up my hooks.

These blankets are all just gorgeous. Really really nice work and excellent color choices. The design has a nice southwest feel, but color choices can make it have a completely different look. Beautiful!

Maybe I will try a KAL on a small project and see if my speed improves. As it stands I only know one or two stitches in Knit.

I thought the forum was definitely half the fun of the Mystery Afghan.

The forum is my FAVORITE part of the project!
I plan on sticking around here, and keeping our forum active with smaller KALs and CALs until it's time for another big event. I hope the rest of you will stick around as well.

This is fantastic news!! I may not do all the mini KALS, still have to finish the main one, but I do love the forum. I have learned, and continue to learn so much from all of you.

I'm going to start some of the mini KALS too so I'll be here....

Thanks... I just might take you up on all your suggestions. I will look around for some local knitting lessons and sees where it gets me. (Maybe next years KAL) Thanks again.... you are all sooooo nice!
(that could be me soon....LOL)

Here is my afghan....not quite done. I couldn't figure out any of the clues beyond #1...so I decided the whole thing would be clue #1. I am making it for my friend's baby shower on the 29th...hope to be done.....ahhhh. Thanks for the fun! I loved watching everyones blankets grow...I learned SO MUCH!

I'm sure your blanket will still be beautiful! Maybe you could make a couple squares all in one color, still using that same clue...with no color changes. Then you would have some more design options.

Here is my finished blanket.

Wow! It's lovely!
