Crochet Along: Finished Blanket Photos

[Shandeh]

YAY! I got done today and here it is.
I used all Bernat yarns, using the color chart assistant to put my colors together. Pictures do not always come out in exact color. The colors I used are Sundrift (tan), Willow (green), Incense, Bitter Rose, and Porcelain Red.

This was a very interesting and rewarding event. Thanks to all of you with the staff for putting this together and thanks to all of you crocheters who were so advisable, knowledgable, and informational. I have enjoyed seeing all of the creativeness and reading all of your stories, good or bad

Beautiful work! You should be very proud of that lovely afghan!

Finally finished. I stuck pretty much with the Bernat layout and border. This one is being donated, although I think my husband would keep it because he likes the colors.

I had so much fun with this. Thanks to Bernat for putting this together.

I finally finished my second CAL!!! I really like the way it came together!!

Now I have two beautiful afghans and I have to decide which to keep and which to give away!! I just dont have room for two!! I hope whoever gets it loves it as much as I do!!

kathieh, that's beautiful! I like how you changed up the colors for the corners. I didn't think of that one. I think I'll make one with bright colors like this for my mom. How did you do your border?

Finished putting everything today...even washed and dried it! I am happy with the way this turned out. I was not sure about the colours I picked out but once the afghan was completed I liked them! They are not usual colours I would normally pick out. I only wish this afghan was bigger although it is big enough to keep ones legs warm
This is the first afghan I have ever put together. I was really afraid to sew it together and put it off for a week or so but once I started I wondered what I was so afraid of!

Here is my completed second afghan. I did two rows of single crochet around the outside, per Bernat's original directions to not detract from the great motifs in the afghan.

Beautiful, love the colors!

Hooray! I finished my first afgan! Thank you to the Bernat team for excellent enthusiasim and advice and all the many hours you all spent making sure we got through this and keeping our sprits up! Thank you to all the wonderful people here who also posted tips, advice and especially their stories and letting us into their lives, I am sorry for your losses. My dad always used to joke about Mr. Nobody too! Although I was a silent participant through most of it, when I did need help the responses were very quick and informative. I originally was thinking of giving this as a gift, however, as it came closer to being finished and hearing all the stories that brought back many memories of my Nonna(who taught me to knit) and my dad who I lost a year and a half ago, my girls turned 13 and 16 through this as well, I really like my afgan and realized I need to gift it to ME!
Thank you to dogfoster and karenarp with the seaming help! Also thanks to Evana85 I decided to also do the arcade border.
I have loved looking at all the different afgan photos and hope with experience I will be more confident and be able to be as creative as you all have been thanks for the inspirations.

He got an Amish Bars Throw I did a few months ago. He supports and compliments everything I do and would gladly keep it all. I have to give some away or I would be buried. This one is going to go into a silent auction basket for Diabetes Scholars Foundation. Several of us mom's that have kids with Type 1 donate stuff for different auctions to go into a "mom's" basket.

For the yellow border, I did a single all around then on the second round I did a sc, ch 4, sk 1 st, all the way around, round 3 I did a sc in each ch 2 space and then ch 2. I wanted to keep it simple since there was so much going on in the afghan!!
