I am really excited. I am on track for my goal. I finished my first Christmas present today. It really didn't take as long as I thought it would. I love the way it turned out. I made a lap afghan. I used JoAnn's Sensations Rainbow Boucle that I got on sale for about 40% off. They are huge skeins at 11 ounces. I got 3 of them, but only ended up using 2. I doubled the yarn and used size 15 cable needles. The pattern was really easy. It was one I found on the internet. It is garter and stockingette stictch in alternating rows of 8. I think I made this one a little too wide, but the way the length worked out it is still a rectangle. I have another one to make. I will just adjust it so that it is a lot less wide and the rectangle goes up, not across. Chris asked me what it was this morning. When I showed it to him, he said that he wouldn't mind one of those in blue!
