A Rare Finish For The Home

.
About 18 months ago, a ripple/chevron crochet afghan was started.  About two-thirds through when I was really loving it myself and imagining it in the family room, my daughter claimed it to be hers when complete.

.
Just as the story goes about the cobbler's children having no shoes and the other story that the daughter doesn't like the mother's style, the two tales combined equals my girl has a completed item of my design that she loves and will keep her warm and cozy, especially since my little bird flew the coop this month and moved to student housing!  
.
Lots of new time on my hands and a very quiet house.  Otherwise, a great finish!  Well, nearly a great finish and nearly a finish for my home ... I just need to tie off all the yarn tails and decide which border to complete.  The very simple ripple crochet pattern is linked on my ravelry page
.

The pattern for this throw is the Easy Ripple Afghan.  I used a size K hook, 80 rows.

Oh my, I love this blanket! Traditional pattern, modern colors. I can see why your girl claimed it, and all the other students in her dorm are going to be quite jealous.
