10-Hour Knitting Project...NOT

This afghan is from the Knit In 10 Hours Afghans and Throws book by George Shaheen. It is called Embossed Diamonds. I used Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in (0336) Warm Brown. I must be the world's slowest knitter because it has taken me A LOT longer than that and I'm not quite finished yet!

I tried the Russian Join technique for joining the last skein of yarn on this project and I really like it. There are no pesky ends sticking out as there were with my other joins.

I found the instructions at KnittingHelp.com. It's a great site with lots of video how-to's.

Looks very nice and I like the color.. Don't you just hate it when directions tell you one thing and it ends up being different.. haflinger

It's Beautiful!
