It's been a while since I posted an afghan update. I haven't worked on it too much lately, it's big enough that it's like having a blanket over me and the summer was just too hot to even think about it! I put about 10 rows on it yesterday. It's folded in half width-wise. It's probably about 1/2 way there. I'll know when it's long enough.
56 rows! All double stitch. I'm using Pound size skeins, it's taken nearly a full one of each color so I figure that it will probably take a total of 4 skeins, 2 green and 2 cream. Which will leave me with two unused skeins of each color, but I've learned: buy more than I think I'll need because the colors won't be there later on if I run short! But it's good, soft yarn and I will use it.
I started row # 57, the safety pin is keeping the stitch from unravelling and has orange yarn on the end of it so I can see it easily. I prefer to stop a project in the process of the next row, it's too easy to get confused and start on the wrong end or on the wrong side.
Now that the weather is finally getting cooler, I'm probably going to be working on this a lot. I want to get it finished fairly soon, but I don't always have a lot of time during the week so it might be what I do for the next few Saturday afternoons.
