Multi-Colored & Black Granny Square Afghan

[Sleepystitcher]

I started this afghan 9 yrs ago, working on making the squares in my spare time and in between other projects. Then we moved two years ago and it was in storage for a year, almost finished but still needing two more squares made and the last 3 rows attached.
I finally finished it a couple of weeks ago. It's such a relief! :*ciam
Now I have to find another scrap yarn pattern so I can use up all the yarn that's left.

Every square has an off-white center, and the last row is black. They're all joined with black as well. Made with size "H" hook, 11 rows by 13 rows. And it's HEAVY!! My 9 yr Afghan (http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sleepygal_1948/detail?.dir=155e&.dnm=b5e4.jpg&.src=ph)http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/sleepystitcher/Crochet/GSAfghan1a.jpg

I tried to upload the picture but for some reason it refused to show up, so I just posted a link to it in my yahoo photo album. I hope it works.

I tried to see it but when I click the link it tells me the file I'm looking for is inaccessible. I think you have to make your photo album public for us to see it.

A lot of people here use www.photobucket.com to post their photos in the forum. It's free and easy if you'd like to check it out.

The afghan sounds great. And I love heavy blankets, they're so comforting.

Ok, Let's try again....I took your advice and registered at Photobucket.com and uploaded the picture there. I hope it comes through this time.

I'm in the Missouri Ozarks, too!


And......your afghan is plumb gorgeous! :))

[cdgayer]

WOW! It's great! Congratulations on finishing. I, too, used to be one to start things, get bored with them and put them in the closet. It's good to finish, isn't it?

[Sleepystitcher]

Yes, it's wonderful to finally finish it!
I'm also a good one for starting something, finding I don't really like working on it and then stuffing it in a closet. I recently lost a few WIP's when we moved, along with some well-loved books. Right now I'm working on another afghan, and a knit hat. I know I'll finish these. The question is what to start on next.

very nice!
