Finished at Last

I finally finished the granny-square afghan I started more than three years ago. The goal was to make a crocheted afghan exactly like the hand-crocheted one I always admired at my grandmother's house and which she gave me when she downsized.

Grandma Ehrhart's was the classic granny-square style--multi-color granny squares with black borders. Hers, made in a more frugal era, used yarn remnants left from other projects. Not having a huge supply of leftover yarn, I went to my neighborhood Michaels (hobby and craft store) and bought skeins of yarn in all the colors that caught my eye.

I started the project before I launched the Knit & Nibble series--otherwise I might have embarked on a monumental knitting project instead.

Here's a link to the Yarn Mania page on my web site where I posted photos of my afghan, in progress and completed: http://peggyehrhart.com/category/yarn...

I talked about my Grandma Ehrhart afghan in an earlier Yarn Mania post on July 23, 1918. Just scroll down.
