Well, I'm finally done. I got too busy to work on the afghan, and then wasn't done in time!!! I crocheted my little fingers off in the week before I was to gift it. Even got some extra rows done on the road.
But all came out well. I gave the completed afghan (pictured) to my sister over Thanksgiving, as we exchanged Christmas gifts at that time.
As you can see, I think she enjoyed it very much. I think the colors will work well with her new paint scheme. It may even get cold enough in North Carolina for her to use it! Believe it or not, I think I brought cold weather to NC with me - it was in the 40's. I had to use one of her old afghans - wish I could have unwrapped mine and used it. hehe.
But the work continues. I have one scarf almost done, and some wild dreams of doing a second one by xmas (yah, right). Maybe I'll just try to work on a doily snowflake instead. I'll have to start work in July in order to make next Christmas. :)
