started the edging on this afghan! Have to think what yarn/pattern I will use for the next one. I don't like making "plain" afghans anymore. I get so bored when it is the same stitch row after row. It takes longer to make one when you have to follow the pattern so closely, but at least I don't get bored as often and end up with another UFO.

True. Afghans are getting more freestyle these days. Different stitches and materials used to work each row or rows makes for an interesting pattern.
Most all of mine are the same stitch. On my bigger afghans I use the Q hook and 2 skeins of thread and it seem sto go a little faster.
I want to learn mile a minute one day.

I've done a lot of different mile a minute afghans... they are FAR from a mile a minute, lol... The only drawback is putting all the strips together after you have them made. I like that they are small enough to take with you when you have an appointment and don't want to haul an almost complete afghan around.

I used to go to Annies Attic all the time for their free patterns, then after a while they were just repeating them... don't know if I have saved the one for today, so I did.

I believe the thing I made that I was the most proud of was a matching poncho, hat and fingerless gloves for lilred.
She picked out a chunky aqua green and we trimmed everything with the variagated green fun fur.
