After I made this blanket for my friend Isaac out of yarn that his mom donated, I had a ton of yarn left over. I’ve finally used it all up in the Washed Ashore Afghan. I got around to tucking in the ends last night so I could hurry up and post it for today.
I actually was not able to complete the entire pattern, and just crocheted until I ran out of yarn. As you can see, it’s still a nice-sized throw, even without the last 7 rows. I’m not sure of the exact yardage since I lost count, but I figure it was in the vicinity of 1200-1500 yards.
Go to Tami’s Amis to see what other people finished this week!

It looks great :) Plus, always good to finish up some yarn leftovers!

My favourite items are made with left overs as I call them. They always make me feel like I have a connection to the original person who the item was meant to be for, if you get my drift>>>>>

Even if it’s missing some rows, that still some serious blanket! I can’t imagine putting that much yarn into anything right now!

It looks good…i like the shape of it, even without its last 7rows I reckon it looks a decent size that you wont need to worry about those last few bits :)

That is a great size. If you had seven more rows it would take over your couch!

I agree with everyone – it looks great and you didn’t need the extra rows at all! ;)

Looks awesome! I think the size is perfect

That’s very nice! I like projects where you can keep going until you run out of yarn and it looks good even if it’s not quite where you planned to finish.

I like the subtle colours and believe me non one can tell that you are missing rows!
