Way back in October was the last time I showed my progress on the Wedding Gift Afghan which I am crocheting using a stitch called Close Scallops. I took quite a break from working on this project in favor of Christmas gifts, giveaways and lately the many oddball baby blankets I have been finishing. But now it is time to take the unfinished afghan out of mothballs and Get It Done!
This is what it looked like last time I showed you a picture. I am sorry for the tease, but I do not have an updated picture to show you this time! Shame on me! I will tell you, however, that the current State of the Afghan could fairly be considered L-O-N-G! When I work on it now, it covers me from well below my feet, bunched up in my lap, and I could easily work on it over my head if I had a mind to! So, I would have to say, it is almost finished! Horray!
The wedding for which this afghan is a gift took place as planned back in November and the happy couple is...well, happy! I have seen a few recent pictures of my niece and her new husband and they are quite a cute pair. Marriage looks good on both of them.
So for my One Project a Month for February, I will be finishing this wedding gift and wrapping it up fancy and shipping it off to the bride and groom. I am sincerely hoping that the cold weather we've been experiencing here in New England won't be here too much longer or I will wish I had saved this afghan for my March project!
Happy Stitching!

Once again, I see something lovely like this and think "oh, if only I could crochet". And then I remind myself that I cannot keep up with my current projects so there is no hope for a new one. LOL! Seriously, it's going to be lovely when you finish and the happy couple will really enjoy your gift!
