Work in Progress / Finish Off ~ Laken's Ombre Afghan ~ 11/30/19

 

Here is Laken's Ombre Afghan hot off the hook!  I mean seriously, I just finished it in time to write this post to publish by midnight!

 

First, I wanted to show you a picture of the finished afghan with the recipient, Laken :)  She picked out the yarn and watched me throughout the year-long process of making the blanket.

 

Of course, I didn't work on it constantly from start to finish.  I worked on MANY other projects before finally picking it up as a WIP from my project pile.

The colors are from the Red Heart's Ombre line as well as Soft White for the bordering.

I finished off the blocks with a simple border followed by a final row of scalloped edging.

My original plan was to make it 5X5 but I decided it was plenty big enough at 3X5 with bordering.  I used some of my favorite CAL blocks from Ravelry and some solid blocks to set them off.

 

On to the next project!  What are you working on?
