Breidan, the reversible cable rib afghan in shades of blue, is finished and the last few ends have been woven in. Finally. Took me long enough, didn't it?!
It's still unblocked, but with luck (and a bit of time) that will be accomplished this weekend.
As you well know, finishing isn't my favorite activity, but even I'm amazed at how long this task has been on my To Do list. I've learned from experience that to do a proper job, however, I need a few things. The right mind set. Plenty of patience. The ability to focus. A large, unscheduled block in my calendar.
I've been short on all of these lately, but I'm working to regain them. It's about time, too.

ReplyDeleteThe right mind set + plenty of patience + the ability to focus ... I need to take a page out of your book and work to restore them in my life too!
I've been waiting to see this ~ it's soooo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOhh.. finishing isn't my favourite part either! I agree you have to be in the right 'mood' for finishing up a project! But I love how your afghan is looking! I think you'll be so happy and satisfied once it's blocked!
ReplyDeleteLove these colors. How do you get the strips to end in a scallop?
ReplyDeleteGood question, Noni. The scallop forms naturally because of the way the stitches are worked, no extra steps are required. It's a small detail, but it adds a nice touch I think.
