Vintage Lace Afghan

I started to make an afghan last year for my mother for Mother's Day. I got side tracked, a lot, and finally finished it for her this year. I was very happy with how it turned out. I think it's really pretty. It's made from Lion Brand Vanna's Choice yarn and the color is Seaspray Mist. I probably wouldn't have chosen this yarn for myself because it feels a bit scratchy and is a tiny bit fuzzy. However, my mom loves it. The colors in this yarn are very very pretty. The body of the afghan was very easy because I've made rippled afghans before. The lace edging took several attempts before I could get the hang of it. However, it was worth it because I think the pattern is beautiful! I used the pattern from "Afghans For All Seansons Book 2" by Leisure Arts. Now I have to decide what to work on next. I think I'm going to try my hand at knitting a lace shawl. This could take another year to complete!
