Plenty of mistakes, but I'm rather proud of it anyway. It's going to my aunt as a combination birthday/housewarming/divorce sucks gift. :)

No worries about mistakes, and honestly and beautiful as your afghan looks no one will see them if they are there. The colors look awesome together!!
You are far braver than I, my first afghan was a giant granny square b/c I'm afraid of joining anything LOL
Again great job!!!

Beautiful! I think you did a fantastic job, especially for your first afghan! I think I may have that pattern...is it from a leaflet?

The afghan looks great. :clap I am sure your Aunt will love it.:manyheart

My mother use to tell me, "Never make anything perfect as you will leave your soul in it. " Hey what can I say, she was Irish.

I think the Pennsylvania Dutch have the same saying.

As everyone has been saying, only you can see the mistakes.

Looks great and the colors are wonderful.:yay

Gorgeous, like everyone said only you will notice the mistakes :)

Mile a minute afghans are a good thing to start off with for a first.

That's lovely! Whatever mistakes you may have made aren't noticable so don't even worry about it =) Your aunt will be thrilled with it!

Besides, your first 'ghan is much better than mine ;) Mine has huge mistakes that anyone with eyes can see rofl. I still love it and when I can manage to get it away from the cats, use it often *g* It serves as a nice reminder of how far I've come =) :hook
