Mama's last afghan

I finished my grandmother's last afghan over Christmas break at my mother's house. My grandmother was just starting it when she went into the hospital. She actually made a mistake and crocheted just 3 rows for the first set of green and everything else was four rows. Since it was the first section, I just finished it out the same way; ending with three rows of green.

Working on it was actually kind of theraputic for me. I was putting all of my love into it as I worked away. I think she is happy I did it in her place. I also learned that my stitches are very much like hers, maybe just a tad bit tighter.

It's also a lot longer than she normally made her afghans. It turned out about 6 feet long by 4 feet wide, I would say.She would usually do them no bigger than 5 feet long, though I do have one that she made for me long ago that was about the same size.
