Crochet Along: Finished Blanket Photos

[Marilyn58]

Finished! I added a column and a couple rows to cover me from chin to toes. I changed the final clue (navy) and love it so much.

Edging was simple 3 rows of dc.

I had a great time doing this CAL, my very first afghan and first large project made for myself.

Awesome layout and colors!

Love your border, it really looks good. Great job, haven't seen this one before.

I finally finished! This has been so much fun to be apart to the CAL for my first full size afgan. I have learned so much from Bernat and all of the talented crocheters on this forum. Thanks for all the insights and conversations on layouts, colors and life.

Very beautifully put...and ur afghan is beautiful too!

Hi, Thanks to all for sharing. It's been a real pleasure reading the posts and seeing all the beautiful afghans. I don't know how you guys and gals find the time for all the posting (with all the crocheting going on!) but I am oh-so-glad you do! So maybe I'll share a bit too.......

I think this is beautiful. Congratulations.

Finally finished mine! I had a hard time deciding on a border so I kind of created my own.

Nice job! I love your color choices; and the border you made gives it such a nice finishing touch.

Thank you!

I like your border! Would you mind sharing how you did it? I would like to give it a try on mine.

Thanks! Sure, its on my Ravelry project page, if you have an account. Name is QueenE79. If not send me a private message and I can email it to you. But be warned, I am not a pattern writer, lol

I have been having the most horrible time getting it together. What is the secret? I cannot tell you how many times I have had to take it apart and start over!! I want to take it outside and burn it but the yarn is fire retardant and would only leave a melted pile of plastic as a forever reminder!! I am going to give it one more try and hopefully it will be done and I can do the border.

Yorkiemom, are you having trouble assembling it? If so, I learned from sonoma a way to join the pieces using the flat braid method and it worked great.

Here's a link to a video on YouTube that'll show you how to flat braid if you want to give it a try: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qfBKZwqBgE

I'm not having trouble attaching the motif's I am slip stitching them together, it's getting the right motif in the right place that is making me nuts. Pretty soon, lighter fluid, big puff!
