Mint Chocolate Chip Afghan for Homeless Families

Here's Mint Chocolate Chip .  The colors look a bit faded due probably to the sunlight coming in.  Wanted you to see this blocking process.  Sometimes folks say acyrlic yarn can't be blocked.  They're wrong.  It can.  Sometimes easily with just a few tugs here and there if you're working on smoothing an edge for instants.  Somtimes ghans need more then others and more time in the blocking process...just depends on stitches and tension when putting them together, how many different hands and stitches were involved etc.  This did need substantial blocking with pinning and wetting it a 2nd time.  But, I wanted to show you how well it works.

Here it is all nice and dried, with pins removed.  Turned out beautiful, didn't it.  And look at the difference in the colors?  Different times of the day I think too played into it being a more true picture.  This is a bit more true to coloring, though the green is a bit more minty then I'm seeing in this picture.  The browns and greens look really nice together.  These squares were donated by our good fiend AnneMarie

Remember?  And put together for us by another good friend, Sherry K.  Many thanks ladies!
