FO: Lizard Ridge Afghan
It's done, it's done!
Project Details:
Pattern: Lizard Ridge by Laura Aylor, available at www.knitty.com
Yarn: Noro Kureyon - approx. 18 skeins, Cascade 220 for edging
Needle Size: Size 8
Skills needed: cast on, knit, purl, wrap-and-turn short rows, mattress stitch, picking up stitches
Pattern Modifications: I changed the crochet border to 10 rows of garter stitch
Time to knit: November 2, 2006 - February 22, 2007
I was truly obsessed towards the end of this project. I have no other explanation for getting this done so quickly.
Final impressions: I LOVE this afghan. LOVE IT! I haven't woven in the ends yet, but I'm thinking about putting a flannel backing on it to make it a little sturdier. Plus, the back has all the seams on it, which aren't super comfy.

Awesome! You did a great job - and I happen to think an obsession is not necessarily a bad thing. (Hmmm, denim might be a good backing, too.)

Yea! I finally got in to comment (I have been trying for days - my computer doesn't like that authentication thing, I guess...)

Wow, it is breathtaking!! The colors work so well together and the border looks great. I hope you are very proud! How did you get away with using so much less yarn?

Simply beautiful. Definitely worth the wait to see it! The edging is a great color too that pulls it all together. Great job.

This is probably one of the most beautiful knits I've EVER seen. Ever. I even called my husband to come look at it. You should be so proud of this piece. Bravo!

The pictures of your Lizard Ridge are great. It must be just spectacular in person.
