Another blanket

 I started this a while ago. The Marcelle afghan. But I was running out of yarn on the final round. Put it away for a while. Then forgot where I put my pattern. Found it again. Frogged everything and redid it with a smaller hook. Also messed up on round 71 four times and didn't realize it until round 73... There were only 74 rounds. 2nd pic is it on my queen bed. Now to pick a new project...

Going to play yarn chicken next week

So a little late with this post because I thought I might get farther on this afghan. It took me 2 hours to do one row at this point. I have 2 more to go and am probably going to lose at yarn chicken. I will then put this away until I get the skein, but I'll wait until I know I need more than 1 item from Mary Maxim. I usually have more yarn leftover on projects. My gauge was just a hair larger than suggested so I didn't go down a hook. Did that extra 1/8" snowball that badly? Clyde claims all boxes, even those that have not been opened yet.

Happy New Year!

So I may nickname 2019 the year of the afghans. As one of my  goals for the year  is to reduce the kits in my closet that consist mainly of afghans . Above is my final 2018 finish, below is my start of 2019. Bonus, Clyde wondering why I'm taking his picture again on New Year's Eve.
