I was going to show you a picture of the misty afghan now that it has 96 squares (12 x 8). I spread it out neatly ready to take a photo but when I came back from getting the camera (which it seems is never where I think I have left it) someone had decided it looked like a good place for a picnic!
I am planning to add one more row, making the finished blanket 12 x 9 squares and then I'll make a start on the border. I'll try to get a photo then without it being obscured by a bowl of cheerios and a munching boy!

Well what else is a blanket for?……and since it’s such nasty weather outside, an indoor picnic seems very sensible!

I love it! Whenever I put my crochet down a cat settles down on it, and yesterday my grandaughter decided to start using my ripple to snugggle under on the sofa even though it is only half finished! And managed to unravel some…

Oh I love it!! In my house it is usually one boy under it (almost immediately) and the cat on top (faster than above, if possible). I think they can sense what we put into our projects and that is part of what draws them in (or on, or under, lol). Keep up the great work, it is gorgeous!!

In our house the wet autumn picnics were known as “Carpet Picnics’ because that’s where we ate them when we couldn’t go out! Toby has just the right idea…and a Blanket Picnic could be better especially on such a lovely blanket!

My son has the same PJs and a similar hair colour so I did a double take! Your blanket is looking very stylish, picnic notwithstanding! Let us know what you are planning for the border. I am just finishing stitching a blanket together and am as yet undecided as to what to do with the border. I’m not a very erperienced crocheter!

What else would you be thinking of using the Misty Afghan for other than having an inpromptu pinic on.
Photo’s of Afghans can be taken anytime but photo’s such as this you have to seize the moment and capture the memory as time seems to go all too quickly and before you know it they are all grown up.
