Life, Fannishness, and Thespic Infatuation

Here's my latest completed crochet project. I think of it as the Olympic affy. Also possibly called the Vancouver affy. I stitched most of it while watching the Winter Olympics last month. ("Affy" is what my bro and I called our baby afghans when we were little. And yes, I still have mine. It's been stretched many times larger than it's original dimensions over the years, and I use it like a pashmina-type wrap in the mornings.)

In actuality, it's a half-shell blanket because the clusters look like half shells. I'm not often impressed with myself, but I'm extremely pleased that the edging worked out as well as it did.






It measures 34" x 27", which is a bit smaller than the pattern indicates, but I think I know why that happened. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the correct gauge on various patterns.
