When I started this afghan, I had only a few balls of yarn and thought perhaps I'd make squares to join together, but changed my mind and periodically bought another color I liked. It's knitted all in garter stitch, binding off a section then picking up stitches to go another direction. It's made with washable wool, Plymouth. It's a nice change for the hands after the last 2 afghans from acrylic. Acrylic makes wonderful afghans, and is durable; it's just a bit harder on the hands while knitting or crocheting.
Had fun finding bright cherry colors. Had initially called this another eclectic afghan, but since I've already used that name. Thought of Blanket of Many Colors which several folks said they liked better.........so there you go.
This will be donated to Homeless Families Foundation, like all of our afghans.
It's being dried/blocked here in the picture. It's not stretch out quite as well as I would have liked; but...Dear Hubby did this for me, as I am not mobile. Currently in a boot, non weight bearing due to a broken bone in my foot. So, I thank him for his efforts. The afghan is quite large, soft, warm and very bright and cherry...even if not stretched quite enough to be super straight.

Previously I was referring to this afghan as The Eclectic Afghan, but I had already named a recent crocheted one that, so with the help of some of my Fitbit Friends decided to call this the Blanket of Many Colors. You can see it's grown quite a bit in size and color. Currently it's 9 colors, though I do have one more color to work into it. A dark purple.
It traveled to Hilton Head with me when I went with hubby previously and it traveled with me again more recently when I had a week with girl friends. Below is how it started it's 2nd journey.
Hoping to be able to show it's completion fairly soon.
What are you all working on?

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.
