Yarn, AGAIN!
HALF of Ellen's Yarn Stash!It's all about the yarn for me. I realize that people other than yarn-o-philes are reading my blog. I usually jam-pack the blog with info all about Los Angeles, places to go, restaurants, historical facts and more. lately, I've only been able to think about my yarn obsession. Sorry.
My husband is jealous of the YARN. I'm around yarn all day and all night. I fondle it. I read about it. I purchase it. I dream about all the wonderful projects I'm going to knit or crochet with it. I'm fixated by yarn. I admit it, I'm a yarn-a-holic.
O.K. the confession is over. Here's my latest and greatest finished object: The Wedding Afghan!
I kinda' want to keep it. Darn!
I used mostly Vanna's Choice and Red Heart acrylic yarn for this granny-ghan; size "I" crochet hook. The edging is from Doris Chan's "All Shawl" pattern (Ravelry link).

It's beautiful Ellen! I love the crocheted edging you chose - it really is perfect!
I'm yarn-obsessed too, so I love your posts about yarn and projects you're working on. No apology is needed!
The border is lovely. I'd want to keep it too.
It's simply beautiful. I can understand why you'd like to keep it.
came out beautiful!! The border is divine. I don't blame you for wanting to keep it.
You can post about yarn all you want. I love it!
Really I am not sure how you are going to part with that granyghan. It is gorgeous.
Never threaten us with Not Blogging about Yarn! That's too cruel!
I really like the edging you added. It really adds something special to the blanket. :)
Yarn posts are the best!!! And, sorry, but looking at your stash makes me feel a bit better about mine (i.e. not so big). The afghan is gorgeous. You work wonders with Red Heart.
And what's wrong with being yarn obsessed?! Not a DARN thing!
Happy Dias de los Muertos, amigo.

Yer long long buddy Madge
I have a passion for yarn as well, so it's a big plus when you post about the yummy stuff. The wedding afghan really turned out BEAUTIFUL!!!!! The yarn choice is great for someone who would not know how to care for the finer stuff and should wear well and last forever.
But you do such greatthings with it--why change the subject? That granny sq afghan is a beauty!!
ps my security word is prana. So...maybe the internets know yarn is your lifeforce?
It is unbelievably beautiful. Love that edging. Makes it look so romantic. And let's not talk about yarn obsession. Let's just say I didn't need to pay shipping when I ordered the Kauni from Little Knits...
I totally understand why this would be hard to give up! It is a beauty.
It's beautiful - the lucky recipient will love it.

And the edging! Lovely!

Great Googly-moogly, that's GORGEOUS. Really. Anytime you want to crochet me a wedding afghan, feel free. Amazing.
SHUT UP! Ellen, there are no words. You have made many, many fabulous things, and this one might just top the list!
I worship it!
Beautiful afghan! What a great gift that will be treasured. I especially like the border you chose!
What a stunning piece of work this afghan is! i adore the choice and layout of colours you have used and the border is a work of art in it's self!!!
Śliczny kocyk
Isn't this just a lovely piece of art work!! I love the boarder, need to do one too....
That's BORDER, Maaria. A boarder is a person who pays to stay in your residence. Thanks for the comment.
Wow I love this and I have a wedding coming up soon so this gives me an idea of what to make.
That's truly amazing!! How did you join the squares? was it the "join as you go" type thing?
OH!! And one other question... did you modify the All Shawl edging to fit this some how or did it just happen to fit?
Yes, I used the "join as you go" method found on Attic24's blog. I added in a few more chains so that the "All Shawl" edging would fit around the corners of the afghan.
absolutely gorgeous.
What a beautiful blanket, I love it. I've almost finished a king sized granny blanket, I've been searching for a border and think I just may have stumbled across one :) thank you.
