lydySo, I haven't actually stopped making afghans, but my photographer has been a bit behind times, so here are some catch up posts.
This one was made for Barb Jensen, for whom I don't happen to have an email address. If someone would shoot me her email address, I would let her know that it's finally done. I think I promised it almost a year ago. There were...complications.
The hexagons will not lay flat. I've tried everything. I finally just put the damn thing together, and hoped that it would flatten in the dryer. It did, a bit, but not as much as I was hoping. It's also smaller than I had been hoping, more of a lap-robe size than a blanket size. And it has, like 181 pieces, and that's a fuck-ton of sewing. So, while I rather like the colors, and it has its charms, man am I never doing this pattern again.
Of note, the pattern was not properly copy-edited, and so they neglected to tell me what order the colors should be laid out in. So, I had to invent my own layout. It doesn't look quite as random as I was hoping, but it's not too bad.
Here it is in all it's glory:
And here is the obligatory Afghan with Ninja"
And here is a closeup of some of the motifs:
Hey, Barb, your afghan is done!

I'm huge fan of crocheting in my tails as I go
and crocheting the motifs together as I do that last row
because the tails and sewing drive me nuts
but the separate bits are much more portable
than 3/4 ths of an afghan.
it should flatten out over time
might try pulling it out sideways
with someone on the either side?
