Lizard Ridge!

It's FINISHED! I am really happy with the way this turned out. I had my doubts as mine is a lot more colorful than the afghan shown in the pattern (the author maybe used the same colorway for all the blocks?), but it looks pretty, I think.


I made 35 blocks instead of 24 (too short and skinny with just 24), and I used pieces of the leftover balls of Kuryeon to crochet the edge.


Anyhoo, here are the photos (somehow I managed to take all these photos sans cats, which is freaky since they are all over this afghan all the time):


This photo was taken sometime on or just after Thanksgiving Day. It's partially sewn together. The little bits of white paper you see on some of the squares are labels so I knew the order in which to stitch the square together.

Here it is all sewn together, w/o the crochet edge. I had to have a crochet lesson from Roxanne (who is blogless) before I could proceed.

Viola!

But then, during final blocking, I found a hole. Of course I had to stick my finger in it, and it of course got bigger. The yarn broke! This has never happened to me before. Woe. So I darned it, darn it, and it's all better now.
