Afghan Arrival

Last night the NETA afghan that i won in the raffle was brought to the house by Karen. We oohed, aahed, drooled, and pondered over the beauty of it for quite a while. Here are some pictures of it posing in my living room (and the colors happen to match perfectly! wow!)

Karen and I modeling with the new afghan:


Then we inspect and dissect the gorgeous stitch pattern of every block:


The Inspector of New Objects must approve:


and finally:
an artsy daytime shot to really appreciate the true colors and textures. Griffin was very comfy under the afghan on this chilly morning. (ignore the mess behind the couch!)


You can't believe how wonderfully squishy and warm it is. yum! i am still amazed at how great all the stitch patterns are. i would never in a million years have enough patience to make a whole afghan.
