I finished knitting my first afghan in November. I gave it to my mom. She is very forgiving of all my mistakes. I definately got better as I went.

I'll try to post this pic again. I got the pattern from the Leisure Arts (little book) called "Beginner's Guide KNIT STITCHES & Easy Projects.

Oh, it's lovely Jan! I love the lace pattern. Beautiful work. :thumbsup:

What a cute afghan! I like the color a lot!

Pretty! Congrats.

That's beautiful! It sure does not look like your first! My first did not even have straight edges on the sides... yours is really wonderful! Congratulations!

Your afghan is beautiful. You did a great job.

Very pretty!
