My Hemlock Ring Blanket


I haven't posted in quite awhile, but have been busy. I'm currently working on 2 different shawls and a wool cap for 'the kids'. But I wanted to post this picture of the afghan that I just finished. I LOVE this afghan, and you can find the instructions here:http://www.angelfire.com/folk/celtwich/KnitHemlockRing.html and the chart to enlarge it is here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/68971937@N00/1161874254/ and more information here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/68971937@N00/1161877610/in/photostream/
This was an awesome and fun project. My blanket is done in 100% wool, and is so beautiful and is going to be so warm on those afternoons when I want to take a nap and need something to cover up with......or for when I need something to throw over my shoulders when I take Sassy outside. I started it Friday evening, and it is now Wednesday morning, so it took me around 4 days to make it. It fits perfectly on the back of the loveseat, and is 49 1/2 inches.
