If you remember this post from 2 weeks ago, I finished my daughter's afghan! She decided she wanted the red scalloped border so that's what I did.
The Stats
Size: 51" x 40" (perfect for us short people)
Starting Chain: 121 chains
Number of Colors Used: 9 different colors
Number of Rows: 90 (2 rows of each color before changing color)
Amount of Yarn Used: ~290 grams per color (the red I used ~390 grams since it was used for the border too)
Pattern: See my post here.
Date Started: April 24, 2013
Date Finished: May 22, 2013
Time to Complete: 1 month
Next Up
Next, I will be doing an afghan using the same pattern for daughter #3. :) I asked her what colors she wanted, and she wasn't sure. Then I saw a Vera Bradley pattern that I knew was one of her favorites so I matched the yarn to it. She is SO excited to have her afghan done in these colors:
I am using Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn in these colors:
- Black
- Turquoise
- Pistache
- Limelight
- Antique White
- Buttercream
Thanks for stopping by, and I will share my progress on this one soon!

I love the multiple colors in your afghan. Nice selection of colors. Too funny. . . I was just looking at that Vera Bradley bag pattern the other day and thinking "I really like the greens."
How cheery and bright both of these will be! Enjoy working with those pretty colors, Patter. Thanks for the photos. Jennifer in Ohio
