And now... my afghan! I'm very happy with it, not only for its festive looks, but its warm memories as well. I've truly enjoyed this process.
I can't help but imagine how pretty this would be in a square configuration with baby yarns. :)

Variations on a Theme border
I've been thinking-- after all your work on your afghan, it's hardly fair of me to dole out the border instructions one row at a time without a photo of the whole border. So tomorrow, we are hoping it will not rain, and David and I can get outside and photograph my border so you can see what I've done. I'll give you instructions for all rows--and this way, you can decide if you want to do as I've done, or something different.
