Finally Finished......Fabulous...

 I actually finished my afghan last week...

Instead of a fringed edge..

 [I ran out of steam...too lazy to cut all those short pieces of wool!!!]

At least I am an honest lazy person!!!

Instead...I worked a scalloped edge...

Kinda of frilly....ruffly...

I LOVE IT!!!!

It will take its place in the family room...

Right beside me...on the couch...to warm my weary bones...

It turned out even better than I had hoped...

Now.........I am working on a cowl scarf....in black...will share later...  














        What kind of crafts have you been working on lately????

               Any Christmas shopping done, yet??? 

                 Hope you all had a great day...



                          Cheers!   :o)

  1. I love the edging you chose, and it is finished just in time for getting cozy on those cold nights that are coming soon. And a nice warm cowl next. I'm finishing up some socks then it is time to start on a blanket for grandbaby 4.

  2. What a beautiful blanket! I love it.

    You are asking about what crafts I am working on so you can mock me aren't you?

  7. Perfect for cosy winter warmth, I admire your talents Linda. The wool looks really soft and I love the neutral colour. It will complement well. Well Done
