Afghanning

So, being that my funds for a Christmas present for my mother were nil, Colleen suggested we knit her something out of the leftover yarn from old projects. The only thing we could come up with that could incorporate so many random colors and types of yarn was an afghan. Although we had no pattern or, really, logical method of assembling the “afghan”, we decided to knit a bunch of roughly 12″ by 12″ squares (measuring ended after the first square - afterwards we just laid subsequent squares on top of finished ones to see if they were long enough). We started around December 15th or so and finished on the 30th, the day before we flew out to Phoenix to surprise my Mom with it. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any pictures of the finished product, which ended up measuring five squares wide by six long. I will get a few photos of the completed afghan eventually, but for now here are the “making of” photos.
