My latest afghan is coming along. It is called Apache Tears and is worked one row at a time from right to left, the yarn is cut at the end of the row and then you go back and start another row. Therefore you end up with lots of ends. As I watched Survivor last Wednesday night I tied end after end. I double tied them because I have CDO...(Compulsive Disorder Obsessive).
Lots of ends to tie. They are trimmed short and ready to be inside the envelope border. But first you have to slip stitch all the way around the afghan. Slip stitches on the front are a single running stitch on the back. Next step it to begin the border. Soon I hope. I began this project on June 18th.
You have to imagine the running stitch on the back as I only took a photo of the front.
Envelope Border in process. I did not finish the border, I left it back at home in the woods to finish when we return.
Jen came over on Sunday morning, she helped load the vehicles and by early afternoon we were all unpacked at Jen and Andys. Sadie was very happy to see us!
Far Guy starts radiation treatments at the Cancer Center today…November 3rd.

Yes, we also call it CDO - the letters just have to be in alphabetic order; I love your afghan! FIngers crossed for Far Guy.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, the radiation treatments go well. Of course it isn't a walk in the park, so I am thinking of you both.
ReplyDeleteWell, getting moved is done! At least you don't have to deal with shoveling snow and Sadie can keep you both company!
I am also making an Apache Tears blanket using scrap yarn like yours. I'm going to try the envelope edge. Last time I made this pattern I just braided those ends together. This makes a warmer blanket than like the C2C pattern. I love how easy the rows are and how fast they are going. Soon I'll be starting the edging border.
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely gorgeous! Best of luck to Far Guy starting the radiation treatments.
ReplyDeletePraying no severe side effects from radiation treatments. Thankful you can stay with Jen and Andy during this time. RHill, TX
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of your talents with yarn! This is great!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful binding on the afghan. Keeping Far guy in my prayers.
