Now, I realize this is a little late. After all, manchild #1 received his afghan before Christmas. But, I didn't post a final picture for you. Earlier when I said it was half finished, I was wrong. More like a third finished. This was a learning project all around.
Let me just say, I had help with the afghan. I have learned to have a little ball of yarn beside me to throw across the room when the cats decide to help.
It was a shock to see how fast C can cut the yarn. 2 seconds flat! AArrrgghhhhhhhh. Again, that little ball of yarn really helped, since saying no didn't really do much.
When I realized that Nolan could take the afghan back to British Columbia the first week in December-I buckled down and knitted my brains out. I knew I have two weeks to finish it. I couldn't figure out why it was taking so much yarn. But once I took it off the loom I figured it out. I wanted it long-long enough to cover his feet and go up to his neck. So, the length was going to be about 6 feet. But when I took it off the loom, it ended up being 6 feet wide. OOOhhhh yeah, its big. And heavy. And did I say big? yeah, big!
He loves it and sleeps with it. And that, folks, is what makes it all worth it.
