Hello! I've been at work with my crocheting, keeping my hands super busy, which is always fun! I've made a few small things, but am mostly excited about the ripple afghan that I started and finished! I got a bunch of yarn for my birthday, I got eleven skeins of Joanns Sensations Sincerely yarn, it is a very soft acrylic yarn and I LOVE it! I ordered it online, so I had a hard time picking colors, so I did it randomly, and was very happy with what I ended up getting!
 |
| Here is a picture of my yarn, it looks so beautiful in my basket! |
I got enough yarn to make an afghan that would fit my bed, so I figured that it would take me a very long time to finish it, but as soon as I started, it got addictive and started working up really fast!
 |
| Here are the first 48 rows! |
 |
| This is also the first 48 rows, only it's next to my neatly wound yarn....it looks so pretty! |
Then, the next thing I knew....it more than doubled it size within just a few days! As I worked on it, I loved it more and more!
 |
| It was a little more than a couple feet long at this point! |
Then, after a few weeks of working on it, and after using more than two miles worth of yarn, I finished! I was so excited when I finished, but also a little sad because I had a BLAST working on it, and was kind of sad to see it end, I was still super happy though! After finishing it...I decided to take a bunch of pictures of it!
Here it is! All done! It's REALLY long! I love it though!
 |
| It weighs so much! |
The afghan is also pretty wide, it came close to touching the ground when I hung it on our clothesline!
 |
| Hanging it on the clothesline was Mom's idea! |
Taking pictures of my afghan was so much fun! It looked so pretty outside, it was a little chilly out though, so I tried to be quick in taking pictures!
 |
| This doesn't really show the size of the afghan, just makes it look kind of nice! |
I was really excited when I put the afghan on my bed and it looked nice! It's over seven feet long, and almost five feet wide! I added a border on it to make it wider. I think the border gave it a little more of a completed look.
 |
| This afghan is SO warm and cuddly! I love it! |
Finishing my ripple afghan was a huge blessing! It's always a blessing to finish something you've been puting a lot of time into and have worked hard on, it's such a great feeling! I love working on things and can't wait to make another afghan!
Have a great day!
