let's get it together

edging

Alrighty then...

I feel like I've sickened myself of this afghan.

It's been a Work In Progress (WIP) for such a long time... and I must have written a bazillion blog posts about it!

So...

If you're as sick of it as I am, then you might as well stop reading right now.

Just walk away.

I won't take it personally!!!

Honest.

It's okay.

Go and make yourself a nice strong coffee... or fix yourself a lemon lime and vodka... or maybe a big baileys on the rocks (depending on the time of day, of course)

For those of you who are still reading - HERE IS MY PLAN...

I will finish this damn blanket.... THIS MONTH.

Absolutely.

Completely.

Entirely.

I mean, the squares are all done...

Do you remember when I went away on the crochet retreat? I had intended to join the blanket while I was gone, but discovered that I had left one square at home???

Well... it didn't ever show up...

I'm starting to have doubts about whether I actually made it at all!

Sad.

But true.

So I had to make YET ANOTHER square, which I don't have the pattern details on hand for... so I'll the blog the details of it another time.

Once all the squares were EVENTUALLY done, I needed to work a border of single crochet around each one... a job which I finally finished at a crochet meet yesterday.

Here they are...

All laid out and ready to start joining...

Never could tire of something that beautiful. April finishes bring May smiles, or something like that.

It is absobloodylutely gorgeous! SO well done. You inspire me, really. When I get to where I'm going (I'm shifting country soon) I am going to make something like this. Just to learn how to do all those different squares, and to make my home prettier.
Cheers m'dear.
