A little CAL afghan progress

The Ravelry 2008 CAL afghan is coming along nicely!  Here are the final 25 squares, before being edged in Cappucino 8 ply cotton (from Bendigo Woollen Mills, the same yarn I used for all the squares).

 Rug progress by you.

And here is how the edging on each square is looking:

2008 CAL blocks - edged by you.

Once I counted the number of stitches on each side, most didn’t need adjusting and were ready for edging.  I had to adjust the size on about eight squares, making some smaller by ripping out the outer row, and adding a row to others.  Now they’re round about the same.  Once they’re all edged I’ll start joining them, but before that I’ll have to decide the placement of each square.  Almost as bad as working out the placement for squares in a patchwork quilt!  I wonder if I’ll get this finished before Christmas.  I did manage to edge three squares while having a spa pedicure treatment yesterday – the first time I’ve had a pedicure (and I’m 40).  So relaxing!
