Another Fisherman Afghan

OK, I know I've been slacking when it comes to posting things here. I've been extremely busy with school lately. Since the college is going through accreditation this year, we are having to make up our snow days which is a huge pain in the arse, especially since each class is doing it differently. Some meeting on extra days, other adding time to the beginning or end of class, or adding additional assignments. So, basically, on Mondays and Wednesdays I have no break from 9:30am until 4pm... I'm apparently supposed to eat lunch while working on ceramics which is a disgusting idea. Wet clay and food do not mix!

Anyways, I finally got around to posting a pic of the fisherman afghan that was a custom order on Etsy. It's the same pattern as the burgundy afghan I did with the cables, diamond, and popcorn stitches, but is larger. This one is 60"x80", and was made to cover a queen size bed. It was easy peasy after I figured out the number of stitches for the pattern repeats to make it longer. I also added in a few extra panels to make it wider.

Burgundy Aran Fisherman Afghan

This blanket was the last project that I completed in 2008. It is 48"x68". It was worked with 2 strands of yarn held together, and contains 5 pounds of yarn. Super warm and snuggly to cuddle up with on cold days. It is made up of cable, popcorn, and diamond panels. The color is actually darker than the picture shows, and is a deep burgundy. I decided not to add the fringe, but still may end up doing so, depending on my mood.
