After the frogging incident on Friday, I was a little discouraged, but I was driven to finish this project, in a way I’m rarely driven to finish anything that doesn’t have an immovable deadline, so Saturday I picked it up again and finished the continuous join while watching Angel season one dvds.

But even more importantly, on Sunday, since the monsoon outside was making me rethink stepping a single foot outside my door, I picked it up again and weaved in all the ends! Seriously, this is monumental for me, as I hate end-weaving more than almost anything else. I just really really wanted a finished afghan to put on my bed, that wouldn’t tempt my Zeva to pull at the loose bits.

Anyway, it’s finished, and I love it, and it’s beautiful, and I can’t wait to get started on the next one. :-D

(Oh, and the specifics–16ish balls of Plymouth Encore (the multicolor ones in the middle might’ve just been leftovers from the other 12?) for the squares, and two balls of black Plymouth Encore for the joins. And almost a year from start to finish.)
