Hi, here is a picture of the granny square afghan that I made for my uncle. I hope someone has me committed if I ever attempt a project with that many ends to weave in again! Anyway, I'm pretty proud of it. Except for the man off-white color, all the yarn came from my stash. Nope, it wasn't a stash buster because I've been buying more yarn!

Thanks to all of you for your nice comments. I started this out on graph paper designing where each color would go but it evolved due to shortage of some colors and extra of other. I really love how the granny square afghans look, just not to fond of all the ends.

I doodle around with a design on graph paper then I had to make a few changes due to shortage of some colors.

I am really happy to have it done. I really like it and wish I had one for me too! Too many UFOs to finish before I can even think about making one for me. I've never made an afghan for myself. I have store bought throws! Maybe it's time to make an afghan for me. I doodled-out a new granny square afghan design on graph paper yesterday so maybe...:idea:dreaming
