Just in time, my Ravelry 2008 CAL Afghan is finished!

Figuring out the block placement was really difficult, but Mum and I conferred at length and are fairly happy with the finished arrangement.

The yarn is 8 ply cotton from Bendigo Woollen Mills, all crocheted with a 4.5mm hook.  I used   these instructions and this video series to join the squares using the flat braid joining method.

Well, I am fudging the truth slightly when I say it is finished, as it is actually only blog finished – there are still a few ends to weave in on the back.

The joining method really helped to balance out the slightly different square sizes, and I think that the lacy effect complements the lacyness of lots of the squares.

Our friend Michelle is snuggled under it right at this very moment!  She always loves a Nanna rug.  Roll on the 2009 Afghan CAL!
