This latest afghan was my full size donation for our Project Linus effort at work. As you can tell, the wave/ripple pattern has become one of my favorites. it's easy and I can do it pretty much without looking while watching TV.This one started with the dark yellow, which was some 'factory' remnants, the blue and grey. I threw in the lighter yellow because I didn't think I'd have enough of the dark to complete the project. Turns out I did, but, well... But as it ended up, the two yellows together made it look a bit nicer.
Of course, I started late and was rushing to finish. I dreaded this, as the first of June Boston had a bad heat wave, so there I am with an afghan on my lap trying not to sweat on it. Plus, crocheting and a number of other things was giving me some shoulder pain, so I had to watch how much I stitched each night.
Luckily, after the heat wave broke, and it got really cool, so having a growing afghan was nice. So nice in fact that the day I finally washed it the weather was chilly enough I put the afghan on me (still warm from the drier) while watching TV. Wow, fluffy warm and snuggly. Probably the only afghan I've though of keeping for myself. ;-)
This ended up being the 4th afghan I made for this Linus effort, but the only large sized one.. I'll blog more on the donation when those photos become available.
