ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour afghan is beautiful Meari... I have 3 of them in my UFO stack and think I'll try to make a New Year's resolution to get them all finished up in 2011. They are all over halfway done and I'm sure if I put my mind, and my hand to it, I could manage without much problem. LOL.... Is yours for a gift or to keep yourself? One of mine I was doing for my youngest son, but I may rethink that now and keep it for myself.. lol.. They will have it all soon enough, think I'll enjoy it here on my sofa a little while? Thanks for sharing,
ReplyDeletehugs, Shirley
