What's soft and warm and purple all over?
Why, a new afghan, of course!
The mindless knitting of the last afghan (and, no, no new hairballs) was so fun, that I started a new one. I'm using up yarn stash which is also a good thing.
It's Lion Brand Homespun, in the colorway Barrington, a sumptuous mix of mainly a deep purple, with some magenta, robin's egg blue and sage thrown in for good measure.
Here's a closeup of the colors:
It's a replica of the first afghan, on US#9 circs, but it's not as many stitches across. The first one I made a bit on the wide side, but it's not worth ripping out and doing again.
And when I brought my computer down to the Ladies' Parlour to blogulate just before, I noticed a cluster of four ears over the edge of my blue chair in the family room. I HAD to grab the camera and share such cutitude...
Have a lovely weekend!

Love the start on the new afghan. The colors are so pretty!
Hey there Sweetie
I'm loving the colours of this afghan - I love purple, but that's the Goth of yesteryear in me trying to make herself heard again! This really does look fab - great job as usual. Aww Itchey and Abner definitely win the 'Cutiness' Oscar! Big hugs x
What a beautiful color! Should I every finish Allen's this would be a great color for me.
The afghan came out really nice, no wonder you want to knit another one. And the kitties are adorable! I love when they cuddle together.
very cute kitties. The colors for the new afghan are so pretty!
The afghan you made is so pretty! The new color scheme is just beautiful!
Your afghan is beautiful, I love the colors. And the kitties, such sweet babies. Ann.
How is your afghan progressing now? I'm sure you have a bit more hanging from the needles. :) Looks great!
Cutitude....LOL!!!
I love that afgan. The colours are lovely and that paler stripe through the middle looks like it 'should' be there.
Pretty colors!
Hey GF! I'm thinking of you on this Good Friday - hope you, DH and kitties are ok :) xx
