In need of being laundered, then a bit of blocking and away we go with another completed afghan for the folks at Faith Mission. You've probably seen this in various stages as a work in progress. I would have preferred to have all the edges, stripes in navy; but not having enough of it, went to plan B which was to add burgundy. It's not as dark as the knitted squares from Rose Marie, but it's also not as orange as it looks in the picture. This is a good size ghan, heavy and warm. I believe it's suitable for an adult (mother), and or an older son given it's size.
Enjoyed working with Rose Marie's nice knitted squares. As you read this 2 more ghans are in the works, so please keep your squares coming throughout the month of December. See details for Give a Square in the sidebar please.

Where are You and Your Yarn From?
I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.
Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

That came out really nice, Sandy. Good job! I haven't forgotten you. I have it on my to-do list to make some squares for you. I'll get to them eventually. Are you taking squares until a certain date or is that ongoing like the scarves?
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful ghan to keep someone warm this winter. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI know this was appreciated by the recipient and is even now keeping someone toasty warm.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandie, this was a particularly nice warm one.
