I finished an afghan recently with a bit of a story behind it. I bought the yarn several years ago when we were in Arizona. I had wanted to do a 'picture' of a sheltie. Unfortunately, I never could make that happen - too many problems with the math of translating the image from one size to another. So I picked a cat design figuring most dog lovers are also cat lovers. The afghan has 12 blocks like the one below. After they're attached, there is a brown border. I think it turned out fairly well all thing considered. The afghan will be raffled off at the American Shetland Sheepdog Assn. national meeting/dog show in Orlando in early March. I blocked the afghan yesterday and will have it trussed up and ready to ship. I hope it raises a lot of money for sheltie rescue ;-)

Long time, no post
When I discovered it had been over a year since my last posting, I was surprised. I knew I hadn't done anything since the summer but - wow. That's too long! I'll try to do better now.
