Crochet-Along Clue 7 (Week 8): Spoilers and Photos

[becausealiens]

:hellogoodbye: I'm finally finished my weaving, and ready for the border. Took me awhile, my youngest grandson was out of school for the Easter Holidays. He's 7 and this afghan is for him. I had to change the flowers, so it wouldn't look to girlie. He loves it and can't wait for it to be finished so he can take it home. He picked out the colors and I think he did a good job.

I will be honest, I like yours better that the "real" design! So do you mind if I steal that?

Your more than welcome, that's why I like the Cal. We can get a lot of ideas, that we can share. glad you liked it. Thanks. I will be using the white for the 1st border round to make it stand out more. I'll be looking for yours when you post it.

I finally finished my pieces & had a chance to lay it out. I didn't use Bernat yarns, though. I used Hobby Lobby's "I Love This Yarn!". I haven't seen anyone else use a variegate, but they're almost a must in any afghan I make. I love coordinating colors with them. ...Well, guess I better get to sewing!

I love the look for the multi colors. It really caught my eye. Great Job.

Thanks zhanie, how is yours coming out? Can't wait to see it.

I got 1 of 3 sewn together. I am calling this one the retro one. I was initially calling it the ketsup, mustard, relish and onion one but when I added the black it started looking retro to me. I have loved this crochet along and can't wait to see what my other 2 will look like.

this is awesome! bright colours with a dark background is striking. I love the way you name your blanket too. I love the ketsup, mustard and relish name!

I think mine is a lap blanket. I actually had it on my lap all afternoon while knitting my KAL border I must say I am surprised how soft it is!
Here it is so far:
