Last night I finished crocheting all of the rows, and this morning, wove in the few yarn ends that were in the body of the afghan and then trimmed all of the tassels. It's so nice to have been able to utilize all of the scrap yarn and turn it into another afghan!

Oh I LOVE it!! It's so pretty. I bet it's super warm as well. I wish I knew how to crochet!!
Sarah, that is so lovely. I can't imagine how many hours of work you have put into it.
Oh, it's so beautiful! :) What a blessing to be able to use all those scraps + create something beautiful. :)
Blessings!
Beautiful!! Your pictures are staged so well and have great lighting too. Good job!
Love seeing finished projects! It inspires me to continue on with some of my "in-progress" items. :)
How beautiful~ You did a wonderful job Sarah!
Blessings~
ohhhh! I first saw you start this last winter and I remember you ran out of scrap yarn. And now it's done. SO beautiful!!! I've loved that pattern ever since you and another blogger introduced me to it, but I never have enough scrap yarn to make one (or the time/patience either, probably!). You've made a gorgeous job of it. Now so I guess this was the Big Project? It's well worth the wait :)
Hi Sarah,
It's awesome! I like the striping and pattern. It looks thick and warm. Perfect for our weather right now!
Blessings,
Anne♥
Lovely job, Sarah. It must be satisfying indeed to have made something so pretty and useful out of what might have been thrown away. A penny saved is a penny earned!

This is a think of beauty. Would you mind sharing the pattern? I prefer to work in rows when I crochet and I always seem to create more scraps when I set out to use up my scraps.
Once again I am stunned that you accomplish so much. Sewing in the ends while snuggled under the blanket must feel great after all the work you have put in.
Well done.
Thank you, Nabila! And yes, it is warm. :) Maybe someday you’ll have the opportunity to learn how to crochet! Too bad we don't lived closer, as I would be happy to teach you!
Thank you, Elizabeth! And yes, it does have quite a few hours in it! Which I don't mind, as for me, crocheting is relaxing and one of my favorite types of handwork to do in the evenings to keep my hands busy. :)
Thank you, Mikailah! I was glad to have an afghan pattern that used up all of the scraps . . . something unusable turned useful!
Thank you, Bethany!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Joy! And that it could be inspiring. :) It's nice to have at least one of my "in-progress" things finished . . . now to finish some of the other ones!
Thank you, Shannon!
Thank you, Rena! I was so pleased with how it turned out with just using scrap yarn. I still have some scraps left so will keep saving yarn until there is enough to make another one!
No, this isn’t *the* Big Project yet! :) I am getting a lot closer to finishing ‘that’ one, though, and I hope to post about it soon!
Thank you, Mrs. Anne! And yes, it is perfect for right now. I’ve been enjoying it in the evenings and also on my bed at night!
Thank you, Betsy! And yes it is . . . I love taking something that wasn’t able to be used or wasn’t useful (scrap yarn in this case), and turning it into something that can be used and enjoyed. So satisfying!
Thank you, Suze! I would be happy to share the pattern . . . it is really simple to do. It might take me a bit, though, to get it typed up, but as soon as I do, I’ll share it here. I am sure you would enjoy it plus have the added benefit of using up your scrap yarn!
And yes, it did! :)
It was so nice to hear from you again . . . thank you for leaving a comment!
Thank you Sarah. Life is busy as dad's alzheimer's is entering the late stages. Parts or him are still here but now he is like a naughty 18 month old in many ways. Recently he broke his arm which has worsened his mental state. I have just had two nights on the Queen Mary 2 and slept a lot. It was wonderful to be spoiled for a little while. I am about to go get dad.
God bless.
SO beautiful!!!
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad, Suze! Alzheimers is such a difficult and sad disease. I will be praying for him and for you as well!
I am glad that you were able to enjoy a time of rest and refreshment. I am sure that was much needed for you!
It was, Karen!
That's a beautiful afghan Sarah!
Your afghan is beautiful, Sarah! :))
