Afghan progress
Aug. 17th, 2004 12:41 amFour of five rows are sewed together in a big mass of blanket. The last row is blocking and can be sewed on and attached to the rest tomorrow. I've started picking up stitches for the border. I am pissed off that the stupid pattern had me buy two balls of pink yarn that's used very sparsely for embroidery, but only one ball in the color I need to go all the way around the afghan after being used in several motifs. Grrrrr....I might have to take an emergency trip to get yarn tomorrow. Otherwise, the blanket is going to have a two-tone border, which won't be quite as polished looking.
Either way, I think I can get this done soon. If not tomorrow, then sometime this weekend. Many photos will appear at that point. All that barring any hand problems. My right wrist acted up somewhat this evening while working on the top border. I think it's from the weight of the blanket.
I worked out a quick calculation using the basic gauge and stuff to estimate how many stitches went into this afghan. Not including embroidery or frogging, and not including extra stitches on the lace motifs, we're in the 48,000 range. No wonder this has taken so long.
