You may remember the first Reflections Afghan I crocheted as a wedding gift for one of my nieces not too long ago. You can see pictures of it HERE. When our daughter got married last June, I asked if she would like me to make her an afghan and she promptly requested a Reflections afghan, only in her choice of colors. We went yarn shopping and, after a brief warm weather break from crocheting, it is finally finished and here is the result...
If you took a look at the first Reflections afghan I made, you might notice that this one is just a bit larger, measuring a whopping 96 inches long by about 60 inches wide. Whew!
This afghan will look great stretched across the back of a couch or hanging over the end of a sectional or love seat. Very cozy!
I trimmed the fringe on this one the same way I did on the first and showed in THIS tutorial. It's a very quick and accurate way to get all your fringe the same length.
This is the nice little pile of cuttings from trimming the fringe. These leftovers will be thrown in the trash, but all the other leftovers will be crocheted into my scrap afghan which I'll be showing you very soon, still in progress of course!
Feels good to check one more thing off my list of projects! How's your list coming along?
Happy Stitching!

This is beautiful. As always, I love your daughter's color sense. It must be fun to yarn shop with her.

Thanks for the link on how to make the fringe. I'm always trying to learn new techniques for crocheting.

The afghan you made for your daughter is beautiful. Your daughter will treasure it not just for it's beauty but for the hours and hours of crocheting and love that went into the making of it.
And what a great technique for making sure the fringe is trimmed evenly!
