Progress on patchwork afghan

Here are two more pictures from the patchwork afghan I am making.





I like the detail. Onto the third series!

Patchwork afghan

I made a patchwork afghan last year, but never sewed it together or knitted the border. I'm working on another right now and once I get the energy, I will complete both. I'm not really a fan of finishing things which is probably why I never do anything that is really complicated. I'm surprised that I finished Chris's sweater and my sweater, but I think I was excited to get those done.

Anyways, the patchwork afghan is a series of blocks that are knitted in three different colors. Even though the afghan goes with the colors in my current living room, my mom reminded me that it goes with the colors in the master bedroom at Cape Cod. Hint?

Sweater completed!

Hurray! I love the way that it came out and it is super warm too. I want to wear it tomorrow, but a) it is supposed to be raining all day, b) I don't think an off the shoulder sweater would be appropriate to wear to work and c) it is supposed to be warm tomorrow. However, I'm having date night tomorrow with Chris (dinner at his apartment and possibly going out for a drink), so maybe I will wear it then :-) We shall see. Once I do wear it, I will make sure that I take a picture of me wearing it.

This was SUPER easy to make. I did make it a size larger than what I usually wear because it is going to shrink in the dryer. However, unlike Chris's sweater, it didn't come out ridiculously large.



I'm finishing up a patchwork afghan that I actually knitted at the beginning of the year. I just have to piece it together and sew a border on it. Not sure what I am going to do after that. I may do another patchwork afghan though. I had fun making that.

Afghan finished

Finished the blanket! Now it is on to finally finishing the sweater and piecing together another patchwork afghan. Fall is here and winter is coming so it is definitely knitting season.

Further progress on the afghan

I have another panel of white and another panel of green to add after that blue one. I'm actually thinking about adding two more white panels on either end as well and will probably end up doing it (I bought more yarn today).

Cool design

This is so incredibly awesome. I'm not Scottish (Irish, English, German and Dutch), but it still is really REALLY cool.

New project

Well, not so new as it is the same afghan pattern that I have been doing, but I decided to do it in multiple colors! Much thanks to Audrey and Homer for giving me the yarn for this! Luckily, I already had the same colors from other afghans I had made (the white from an afghan that I made for a fundraiser for my old job and the blue from Chris's Christmas present last year). The green I did not have already, but I thought (and Audrey thought) they all go well together, don't you?
