Very pretty! Love the white and pops of color!
It is gorgeous. Lots of work, but definately worth it. Thanks for sharing, Karie
Wow it looks absolutely beautiful! What a gorgeous gift - I bet they love it. Have a lovely week!
Saw you at Debbiedoo's, this is beautiful!! I am a bit envious of those who knit and crochet... I know I could learn, but frankly, I don't need another craft vice. :P But the results are so lovely, GREAT JOB!
Happy to be your newest follower,

Good for you for finishing such a large project! As a fewllow crocheter, I know how tough that is sometimes. I have a drawer full of large projects in partial states of completion to prove it, which is why I generally only do small things.
Your son and DIL with love the pretty blanket, and it's obvious their dog is already a fan of your work!
What a beautiful afghan! Love the colors you used! My husband's grammy made an afghan for each child, each daughter-in-law, each grandchild upon graduating high school, and each granddaughter-in-law as a wedding gift. Her hands have a tougher time with it now, but she's started working on graduation gifts for the great grands. I'm sure that beautiful blanket will be cherished. I certainly adore mine and display it proudly. Thanks for sharing.
I'm hosting my monthly Before Blogging Throwback Thursdays party, and would love for you to link up anything you made/did/bought Before Blogging. Can't wait to see what you bring to the party.
What a great blanket ! I'm making a similar one with hexagons. I'd love you to pop over to Lavender Hill and check out my latest hooky fun too !
thanks for sharing,

Beautiful blanket. My grandmother taught me how to do this 30 yrs ago I have forgotten how to do it.

Awww! Dogs know pretty stuff too! Love the blanket. Following your blog now.I would love for you to show this off at my Wickedly Crafty Saturdays! http://wiccanmakesometoo.blogspot.com/2011/07/wickedly-crafty-saturdays.html
Gorgeous! That is SO beautiful! I love your colors! Too pretty!
Awesome afghan! I am hoping to start one of these soon. Could you tell us which brand and weight of yarn you used? I am having troubles choosing good quality yarn that feels nice and works up nicely. The last yarn I bought looks like string when it's crocheted, so I quit it. Also did you use pure white or antique white?
Thank you so much!
What a great gift! This is lovely and I'm sure it will be well loved (by the people too, not just the adorable dog).
Gorgeous - so pretty x
