So remember the baby afghan I had decided to make for Honey's Cousin's Baby? Yep, this is it. It was completed on Saturday morning about 3 hours before the baby shower. That's right, three hours before the shower. I worked 5 days, two of those days included finding patterns and testing them, then the one I found had something terribly wrong with it so I tore it out and started the one I completed it in. The original pattern called for multiples of 3 chain plus 2 - the maker of this pattern used 62 chain - and stupidly I decided to do 92. Remind me never to do that again, ok people?
Because not only did I do 92 chain, I wanted to make it square. I was using an I hook, so my stitches weren't as large as they normally are (I use a K hook for everything usually) and then of course, I wanted a border. Not just any border though, a border made of Shells!
Anyway, my hard work paid off. The afghan was quite well received and it ended up being the correct colors, too. Which really helped me out a lot.
Here's the photo, as always click to enlarge.
