Woo Hoo!!!
Two years ago today I started my Moorish Mosaic Afghan.
Two days ago I finished it.
I don’t even have a decent photo of it but I DON’T CARE. It’s done!!!!
I can go back to knitting! 
The yarns used were Bernat Satin Solids and Patons Decore. In a mix of various colours. The afghan washed and dried beautifully.
It has been gifted to Awesome sister, since it matches her room so well. Enjoy it!!!
Katie tried to pose for a picture, but blinked…
I didn’t touch yarn all weekend. 
Sometimes the black dog is biting at your heels and you need to focus on / do other things.
I did manage to finish row 5 of the afghan on Friday, I might sew that up tonight.
Katie, thankfully, has been sleepy and cute.
So… continuing with my blanket saga. Here is what it looks like now:
A whole new row! (I now have the “New world” song from Aladdin in my head, thanks brain)
Here is the row before seaming:
and the octagons I finished this weekend to make up that row:
But wait! There’s more!
I almost finished another row!
…but I ran out of yarn. 
So I ordered more, and I hope it will be here before the end of the week! 
Thus ends the blanket saga for now
Here is the updated schematic for those playing along:
Katie hasn’t been very photogenic recently, so I’ll leave you with a picture from around the time I cast this blanket on:
Behold the terrifying tale of my oldest wip!
Started January 29, 2010. Yes, 2010!!!!!
And!!! It is STILL.NOT.DONE!!!!!
*scream*
What is it?
The Moorish Mosaic Afghan. *ooooooo*
Here is what I’ve finished so far:
Just a little over 50% finished
Here is a schematic of the complete blanket:
30 octagons, not horrible, right? That’s what I thought but then! Boom! Life and stuff and boredom and stuff and now I’ve only got:
Blue=complete and sewn together
Pink=complete but not joined
So close to finishing another row… My goal this weekend is to see how far I can get!
Stay tuned for the thrilling result of a weekend of crochet!
