Remember this?

I finished it last spring and was going to give it away,
but  never got around to it.
Instead I donated it to a fund raiser silent auction being held this weekend for my friend Jody.
She has stage 4 brain cancer and not much time left :(

Its so sad, she is such a sweet person. Her daughter and my youngest have been friends since grade school.
They play saxophone in the band together and team up for hand bell duets.

I am hoping it gets some bids, I don't think people really appreciate how much time goes into an afghan. I think the colors are rich and cozy for fall. And its 100% acrylic yarn so it will take a beating and last forever.  


Update:  I didn't get to the benefit, but my daughter did. She said it had a bid of $25. I was hoping for more. (the yarn cost more than that) But it was for a good cause and hopefully  someone will stay warm with it this winter !
