Rambling Rows Afghan - finished!


Rambling Rows Afghan
I finally finished the Rambling Rows Afghan last night. I really enjoyed knitting it because you get to change yarn colors and block sizes often. Rambling Rows Afghan
By the time you get to the last row, it does get a little tedious, though. In the second pic you can see the decrease lines, which is what keeps it interesting, you're not just knitting squares and rectangles, you're starting out with a multiple of 12 stitches and decreasing down to 2 or 4 stitches to create the shapes. I added an I-cord edging to neaten up the garter stitch edges. Rambling Rows Afghan
I was trying to do the EZ I-cord out of Opinionated Knitter, but just couldn't get it started, so I switched back to an I-cord pattern I did in the past, the pattern was Seamus from Knitty.com. (The sweater failed miserably because I was unhappy with the way my picked-up stitches looked along the celtic cable edge at the bottom.) I have gotten really fast at picking up stitches now, so it was a good skill improving pattern.
