Nebula Afghan

 A few months ago I created a Mrs. Weasley Inspired Burrow Afghan for sheepBlue in the I Want to Live in the Burrow Swap.  The project helped me use up a great deal of my stash of Homespun yarn, but I still had so many skeins left over.  So I decided to use up some more of them by creating a new afghan for a friend who is battling cancer.

The pattern is the Kew Gardens Afghan from Lion Brand yarn.  But for this one, like in the Burrow afghan, I created it by holding 2 strands of yarn together, changing out one strand of color at a time in order to blend the colors from black, through grey, purple, blue, teal, and aqua.

All told it took about 20 skeins of yarn and it weighs a TON!  



And finally, one more shot with my pup, looking completely unimpressed.
