I've been working on this afgan since the weekend after Thanksgiving; I was excited to finish it tonight! The yarn (homespun, prairie) matches our downstairs perfectly. It's a basketweave pattern (a little hard to make out in the photo) with a border around all 4 sides. This afgan is sooooo warm! Not only is the yarn very soft and warm, but the basketweave pattern creates pockets of warmth. I'm thinking a giant-sized one of these would make a perfect bed cover in the winter! Anyway, now I get to start on the sweater I've been wanting to make.

Wow, I'm impressed! I had no idea you were so talented.
Your afghan looks cozy and warm for these freezing temps we've been having!
I made the same afghan in an oatmeal colored yarn and it took me 3 years to finish.
I moved between the time I started it and finished it, and the yarn exactly matched the carpet in the family room of the new house.
I made mine longer than the directions called for since I'm on the tall side (shorter than my sister by a couple of inches, but still, tall).
You did a good job. Isn't it rewarding to finish something like that?
