I have a sixth done... maybe

The newest update on the Hawkeye afghan!



I apologize for the fuzziness of the picture but we spent alllllll day outside in the heat and I don't know if I could hold up my arms long enough to take the picture and NOT have them shake.

The large squares still need a few more rows on them but I wanted to see how they looked like this before I did those. I think I'm going to have to work them in but will still wait until I finish a medium square. Not sure how I like the small bullseye and may just do them as a ball of color. Not sure yet.

And guys. GUYS. You will not believe what was on my Facebook after I posted the pictures there.

My sister posted:

You ruined your birthday gift! I just started a Captain America blanket for you... I guess I'll just donate it now for some lucky kid

AND THIS WAS THE PICTURE:



My response was:

No! You wouldn't dare! This blanket is part of our geekery items and will be sold (probably to someone on my blog) after I show it to Mr. Matt Fraction! I get the Cap blanket. *grabby hands*

I think the small two-color bulls-eye looks cooler than the one-color, IMO, and all the bulls-eyes being different so far makes it look neat as a collection.

Wow! Your sister really thought that blanket through, the star is pieced together in a neat way. Pentagonal symmetry is rare.

The only thing about the two-tone bullseye is that the middle of the dual color looks really flowery up close. I don't want it to be girly!!!! *grins*

I think she's been working on the design for awhile. The last time she was home, she asked if I had any yarn she could use. I watched one night as she worked, yanked it all out in frustration, worked, yanked, worked, yanked... so I think it's a design she's been putting together out of bits and pieces of other patterns and keeping in her head. She's amazing!
