But, there's a bright spot in all of this. I have actually finally finished every panel on my baby afghan after 7 years. I see that the last update I had for it on the forums was somewhere between Q and R, in 2017 (ooops). It's also when I still used photobucket, so of course all the images are now gone and the thread will have to be updated with new pictures.
There was some indecision as to what would go in the corners after all this time, if anyone followed the emotional history behind it. The blanket was originally intended for one niece, then both nieces, then I put so much work into it (and was on the outs with my sister) that I decided to keep it for my own children only to find I wasn't going to be having any. The end decision was 2 flowers, a daffodil for March birthday and a daisy for an April birthday, for my grandparents. The daffodil was entirely free-handed off of a picture that had no pattern, and the daisy was a purchased pattern that was modified quite a bit to fit inside the panel.
I have now reached where I will begin working on the fringe of the blanket, but I'm a bit stumped. One set of instructions I looked at says to pull all the horizontal threads out of each side, so when you get to the corner and this clearly would be all the threads as one side's horizontal is another side's vertical... how do you tassel the corner? Do you just... not have a corner tassel?
I'll get around to updating the thread later, but I did want to share the finish.
- you're having quite a time of it, may both the physical difficulties and the anxiety soon improve.
