Love and Support Blanket

I finally finished Mary Maxim's Love and Support Blanket. I'd hoped to get it done in time for Breast Cancer month (Oct.), but the lymphedema in my arm cut way back on my knitting time. I donated it to my local American Cancer Society store and they were very happy. Actually I was glad to get it out of my house, as it reminded me of all those hours in chemo when I worked on it.

Are any of you glad to say goodbye to a project?

Here are some pics of the blanket:

Beautiful afghan! You did a wonderful job.

Yes, I know the feeling of just wanting to see something gone. I started a Blue Delft afghan several years ago and lost interest in it. But it kept staring me in the face and rubbing it in that I was a quitter. So last year I forced myself to finish it. While I was weaving in all the ends my daughter saw it and told me how beautiful it was. So as soon as I was done I told her it was hers. I was so glad to see it go to her house.

You afghan is truly beautiful, and donated to a worthy cause. When my hubby spent a month in the hospital having surgery for his cancer I spent all my free time crocheting him stuff to stay warm once he came home. My stuff didn't leave my house, but I was so glad when I got it done and he came home.
