The afghan is washed, all loose ends are trimmed, there’s a gray duvet on the bed (thanks, Mom!) and the afghan is on top! And it only took almost two months. With much contortion to get this photographed in our tiny bedroom, here it is in situ.
And some thoughts….
I have no idea how to make the fuzzy tips of the yarn disappear. In amigurumi, you just hide them inside a stuffed part of the piece. Here, no matter how good my weaving job (and I can’t say it’s that good) I can’t seem to hide the very ends of the yarn.
I’m very pleased with the look and structure of my join. It lends the piece such interest.
I like the feel of Red Heart With Love much better than Classic – some of the Classic was almost crunchy off the skein – but it was unexpectedly difficult to find two coordinating shades of gray. After washing, it’s better, but still clearly not as soft.
I’m in no hurry to make another item this large!
So you can see all of it, I undertook some additional contortions to spread it out on the floor. It doesn’t really fit but you can see it pretty well anyway.
I love it! But of course, purple is my favorite color. You did a terrific job and I’m glad the gray worked well under it.
Thank you! And thanks again for the comforter. We really like it, independent of the color.
Beautiful!
Thanks! Neighbor Cat has already snagged it with her incredibly sharp claws.
It’s so cozy too!
