halfghan

Twas the night before German Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring except Alison who was sewing up an afghan as fast as she can.

One more seam and my two halfghans will make one. It's... gonna... be... grrrEAT! I can't get a really good picture of all the colors when I'm doing the wide shot, so here's a close-up so you can see how pretty the yarn really is.

There's still a bazillion ends on the backside, but the front should look clean and complete by tomorrow. Hooray!

Congrats! Good luck weaving in the ends...I think we can all pretty much feel your pain there...

Merry Christmas!

I really like the square patterning. Great Job!

I love the close up.

I have this mad desire to run all the way to Germany so I can cuddle up to it. Must resist!

I'm surprised that you didn't get it done until now, only because you get things done so quickly.

Things must be going more smoothly or you would be sleeping instead of working like a mad fiend to get it done.

Oh, and thanks for the update. It's great to have one on the weekend.

You are awfully close to the finish (ignoring how long it takes to weave in ends). You've done an amazing job!

It's GORGEOUS! ::has knitting envy::

I can't do more than a pair of socks without dying of boredom. How do you do that? :)
