My Greatest Masterpiece

posted in Blankets & Afghans |

It’s finished. 12 balls of Patons Classic Merino Wool later…..my best work. Invisible seaming and finishing. Cables, squares. I love it.
My boss’s Holiday gift. An afghan. Roughly 46.5″ x 61.5″. Made with lots of tender loving care.

That afghan is amazing. I have been playing with designs in my mind to make a blanket and I am still debating what design to make. How long did it take you?

Hi, Monica.

Thanks for the comment. The afghan took me about 4 months give or take. But I didn’t only knit that one project. You know how we knitters go! HA! I’m guessing it would’ve taken me about two weeks to complete knitting in the evenings. It knits up quickly using two strands of the Classic Merino and larger needles. I got the pattern from the book Quick Knitted Afghans.
